Half eaten brioche and cappuccino
Enxhi B.

We stopped here for Italian breakfast (cappuccino and brioche) on our last day in Rome. Their pastries are amazing and the cappuccino was good. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of good options.

TOURIST TRAP. we got 2 cones with 2 scopes which was supposed to be €12 all together. THEY CHARGED US €20!!!! i noticed before i payed and they said "it's bc of the cone u needed a cup for that" when it clearly shows a photo of a cup or cone.

You cannot come to Italy and not have gelato. Knowing this, my girlfriend and I decided to try the gelato at Don Nino, which sat a stone's throw (or a coin's throw?) away from Trevi Fountain. Don Nino was very well lit, clean, and staffed by friendly people. After checking out their many flavors, I decided on two flavors: chocolate almond and coconut, served in an cup. My girlfriend decided on coffee and pistachio, served on a cone. After they gave us our gelato, I proceeded to check out. While there, I took a look at their other offerings. This place has quite a good variety of treats, to include cannolis. I will be back to Rome in the near future, and I will make it a point to stop by here again to try their other great products. This place treated us well, and was one of many great highlights in our weekend getaway in the fine city of Rome. I recommend them!

Cannolis, macarons, gelato and more. Such a nice place to stop for a sweet treat. The cannolis are made with an old Sicilian recipe. The crunchy shells are filled with sweet flavored ricotta cream fillings. The nocciola (hazelnut) was so delicious. The pastries and macarons are also so tempting. Grab a box of macarons or a tiramisu. Didn't try the gelato, but there were several choices of traditional Italian flavors. Great place to stop after throwing three coins in Trevi Fountain.

Chocolate chip cannoli

This is some of the best gelato I've ever had. I love that they have so many flavors, and they allow samples before choosing which to order. I also love that they have macarons and cannoli's and other items available. I actually visited here 2 days in a row because it was so good. The first day the service was exceptional and the guy dressed up my gelato with 2 wafers and a small cone. The second day I got one wafer, which is why I deducted a start. It's very inconsistent with what you get based on who is working and scooping your ice cream. I ordered a macaron the second day and it was delicious- some of the best I've ever had. The second day I ordered the stracciatella and it was delicious. The chocolate chip cannoli was okay- the filing was yummy but the shell was so hard it just crumbled and made it unappetizing to eat. I would pass on the cannoli next time. But the gelato and macarons are a definite must!!! If I go back to Rome, I will most definitely return.

Gelateria near the Trevi fountain. So many choices to chose from. One of our favorites in Rome since we were eating gelato daily for two weeks. Buy a gelato Walk to the fountain Find a seat somewhere (if possible) And enjoy every bite Heaven on earth. Oh how I love Rome.

Dark chocolate and pistachio gelato

We went over to Don Nino our first night in Rome for a cannoli. It was so delicious that we back the next night...but this time I got a gelato. It's a delicious! Everything in that store looks divine!

Cafe freddo

I discovered Don Nino in Florence and then found it while we were in Rome. This shop is close to Trevi and the Spanish Steps. The service at this shop was less personal and the space was more cramped and confined, but the gelato was just as good. My only complaint was that we came specifically for a cannoli with pistachio cream and they gave me pistachio gelato instead on the side. I guess there are worse things to complain about. Iced coffee is pretty rare in Italy but we found a glass here and it was smooth and spectacular, especially since it had been a week since we last had one.

The most amazing desserts, especially the macarons!!! Beautiful restaurant, very good service and amazing selections of sweets! Excellent place!

This place is super clean.. gelatos are delicious and all of the pastries are to die for. Would definitely recommend.. And 10 steps away from the trevi fountain.

No matter the location, this chain is a rip off and will post one set off prices and charge you an obscenely different amount.

In the past, I knew of Gelateria Navona, just a few doors up from the actual piazza, and that was…read moremy go-to place for gelato in Rome. Expecting it to be there one year, I walked over to Piazza Navona and Gelateria Navona had evidently closed. I would then get gelato here and there. I then learned that Giolitti is a long standing gelateria and it's also in the historic center. I filed the name away in my head. Then, one day, I happened to walk right in front of it without even looking for it, so I went in. Giolitti is popular and it can be crowded. I'm going to say that I waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You pay at a counter first, deciding on what you want and how much of it, such as scoops and whether it will be in a cup or a cone. Once up at the counter, they don't rush you, which surprised me. I don't take that much time since I don't experiment much, but I still appreciate the courtesy. The price is roughly what everyone else in the historic center is charging. I always opt for the gelato it in a cup so you can "control" the dripping. The gelato - a mix of dark chocolate and two citrus flavors - was "molto buono." That said, just because it's so popular, I'm not going to downgrade Giolitti for it and complain about the crowds. You downgrade gourmet donut places in the U.S. where their fame has gone to their heads. There is also a spacious salon with nicer decor in which you can eat inside. At this point, Giolitti is really the only gelateria in Rome whose name I remember. I would gladly go back and I recommend it.

Amazing!!!! Wanted to update with pictures because it's simply delicious and we truly miss the…read moreambiance.

The texture was incredibly creamy & smooth, and the flavors had this rich, honest depth that made each bite feel a bit special. The panna added just the right touch without overwhelming anything -- it all came together beautifully. One of those gelato moments that stays with you long after the trip. A spot I'd happily go out of my way for again.

Legendary Roman Ice Cream…read more * * * La Romana has been around since 1947. That does not make it the oldest gelateria by a long shot. But 1947 puts La Romana in the "senior class" for sure. That means almost 50 years of driving thousands of people insane with pleasure from utterly amazing ice cream. That is a good way to spend 50 years. * * * Most Italian Gelato places are very consistent. If one flavor is good, they all are good. If one flavor is fake or artificial, they all are fake and artificial. That said - despite La Romana's full range, The establishment is known for one distinctive flavor that is very much their signature. Crema dal 1947. Crema dal 1947 is absolutely and utterly insane. It is an eggnog custard gelato subtly flavored with lemon zest. It is the most creamy dreamy lemon cloud dessert every made by any human being. Just to get an appropriate placement within the lemon family, I paired it with a plain lemon gelato. Rome has absolutely amazing lemons. Plain lemon gelato almost anywhere is die-and-go-to-heaven good. Putting eggnog custard creamy dream Crema dal 1947 With bracing in-your-face screaming lemon-lemon-lemon traditional gelato Was like pairing Margot Robbie as Barbie with Amy Winehouse singing her soul out. Both were absolutely perfect for what they are. I want to have that ice cream cone tonight, tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that and every other consecutive day for the next consecutive 50 years. When La Romana becomes 100 years old, I can think about changing flavors. But it is hard to argue with perfect perfection.

Today, on my walk toward Neptune's Fountain, I passed this little gelato shop--Gelateria La…read moreRomana--and kept going. But I stopped in my tracks because I saw a line wrapped up 50+ people deep, all waiting just to get inside and order. Now it's day two in Rome and I still hadn't had any gelato, even though I've walked past what feels like a hundred shops. So what would a fat man from Alabama do? Turn right back around, of course--because nothing says "this is probably good" like a crowd stacked up like cordwood waiting for ice cream. I finally make it up to the counter and the young guy looks at me and says in English, "What do you want?" Well... I can't pronounce half of what I'm looking at, so I just show him a picture of his own menu I had snapped a minute earlier. He smiles, reads it out loud, and then asks, "What size?" At that point my brain is a mess, so I mumble "medium" and point at the cup sitting by the register. One problem down. Then I move into the next line--about a dozen people ahead of me--and when it's finally my turn again, I just point at my receipt like, "It's on there somewhere, I think." I can't read Italian, so I'm fully operating on faith at this point. The guy looks up and says, louder this time: "What flavor?" Flavor? That was not the question I was prepared for. So I point back at the picture again and say, "Whatever that is... I want that one." He scoops it up, loads it into the cup, and sends me on my way. Now comes the real test--taste it--but there are people everywhere, so I grab a quick photo first, because priorities. First bite? Hallelujah. That was the moment. That gelato hit and I just kept walking down the sidewalk like a man who somehow figured out how to survive ordering ice cream in Italy. Seriously, it was excellent. And if I get turned around again like today, I already know where I'm going back.
