    Delicious gelato. A nice treat to cool you down in this Italian summer heat. I had more gelato than one can count on my two week trip but Don Nino outshined them all. Nearly 3 months later and I'm still thinking about this treat.

    One of the best gelato places in Rome. Beautiful interiors and lots of goodies to chose from. I always get the chocolate mint gelato and this one right here was the best one. Just the right amount of sweetness. Yummmm. They have So many cookies and specialty drinks that makes it hard to chose from. We also got cappuccino and apricot cookies to enjoy while taking a break from walking. If you are in the area stop by, you won't be disappointed....

    I can understand why people were dazzled by how beautiful the decorations are, you feel like you are in a boudoir or a royal palace but I felt I was all immaterial to what's it's all about. Unless you have a sweet tooth, this place is not for you, the ice cream is so creamy n so sweet just like in America so what's the point of having an Italian delicacy? Gelato in every gelateria I have been to in my 12x to Italy is very subtle it's in between a sorbet n an ice cream. They literally have mashed mango so fruity n delicious, limone is so refreshing especially if you have it in Sorrento where the gigantic lemons come from. All fresh ingredients n usually 6 euros for 3 scoops. I told the guy I wanted sorbet but he gave me ice cream, I was exhausted n didn't see this place didn't have sorbetto, the mango was ok, the lemon was too sweet then he put a tiny amount of whip cream n charged me 50c extra. The cannoli was so sweet n the filling stuck to my teeth, it was really gross it was like CRAZY GLUE not a joke. The bill came out to 14 euros about 17$, cut throat pricing. 15 months ago I stayed in the hotel in front of the pantheon n there was another gelateria right 3 doors from Don Nino, it was a sit down ice cream parlor, this place is a tourist trap, I like chandeliers but I prefer no chandelier but good gelato.

    Wonderful

    My last gelato of my vacation was one of the best! I ordered a melon and coconut cone, and it was amazing. The cantaloupe flavor was perfect. Everyone in my party remarked how good the flavors were. This shop is very close to the Parthenon and definitely worth a stop.

    I think this was like 4th or 5th Gelato places we stopped while in Rome.. This place was also very good.. Pastachio was very yummy.. All their Gelato had good texture and flavor. Can't complain about this place.

    Solid gelato, Don Nino didn't stand out much from any of the other dime-a-dozen gelato spots in Rome. However, this is a really good option and would recommend it if you're close by. They also have pastries and macaroons too!

    Passed by here a few times before stopping to get gelato. It was good, and I liked that it came with a wafer on top. I got the hazelnut and lemon flavors, I wouldn't recommend mixing these two as they do not go well together, but they tasted good separately!

    Don Nino, by the Spanish Steps, scammed me. I went here and ordered the "Continental Breakfast" off the menu for 16 Euro, which included pancakes, toast, yogurt, and coffee. I was only given toast and coffee, and when I asked about the pancakes and yogurt, the waitress said the menu was wrong and it doesn't include that. And then I showed her the menu, saying it clearly DOES include pancakes and yogurt, and she said she'd make it for me. 1/2 an hour later the pancakes did not come, and I left after sitting there for almost two hours. I paid 16 euro for a small cappuccino and toast. Don't go here. Scammers and horrible, slow service.

    When in Rome... Popped into this super cute dessert spot after visiting the Trevi Fountain and it was just what I was looking for. Visually appealing with lots of colorful dessert and gelato options. Reasonably priced and super refreshing on a hot summer day. Definitely looking forward to a return visit.

    Cute little pastry shop located just outside of Pantheon, I didn't realize it was a chain until I walked throughout Rome but either way, I enjoyed my Caffè latte and mini lemon cake from Don Nino today. The service was ok (they forgot to bring me my lemon cake after I ordered and had to ask for it again a few mins later lol) but my Caffè latte was yummy and there was free WiFi and bathrooms were clean so no complaints there!

    Such a nice spot! It caught our eye while we were walking and I'm so glad we stopped. I usually get hazelnut gelato but I was feeling adventurous. I got the mango gelato and oh my goodness it was delicious.

    We stumbled upon this place while visiting the Trevi fountain and pantheon areas. I can literally not stop thinking about the pistachio croissant!! It tastes like fresh pistachio peanut butter, I wish I could have ordered a tub of it and brought it home with me! The cappuccino is okay. The orange juice is pulp heaven. The inside is adorable. Service is good.

    Read the reviews so we decided to try this place on the way to the Pantheon. The cannoli was was way too sweet and the gelato melted way too fast. Not as creamy as some other places.

    Gelato OK, but total rip off tourist trap. They will bill you more than what the prices say and don't care.

    A quaint tiny gelato joint just outside the Vatican hoard…read more It's small enough for roughly 3 folks at once, has many different options to choose from, the service is prompt, kind, mindful, and it's relatively cheap. My "medium" sized cone was a tad larger than a small but not American sized which I appreciated, it was just enough to fill a moderately hungry stomach, and gave me a taste of the gelato I'd been missing. Lovely little spot, stop in!

    As we were walking down some random Rome street, we decided to get a quick sweet treat from…read moreGelateria Del Monte. We saw a gentleman sitting outside, enjoying a gelato and it peaked our interest. The young lady working the establishment was not very friendly, but we weren't there to make friends. However, great customer service really does go a long way, especially when you're a tourist away from the comfort of home. I ordered a cone of the pistachio gelato and my best friend ordered a cone of the banana gelato. Gelato is not as sweet as ice cream so don't expect to be overwhelmed by this dessert. The pistachio gave a hint of the taste of pistachio, but could've used a little more pistachio nuts to really bring this scoop to life. I tried the banana and it was overwhelming with banana flavor... Real bananas by the way. You really have to be a banana lover to partake in this cone. I have had better gelato in the states, but wanted to try this regionally specific treat.
