A classic 120 year old gelateria with classic 1950s service seating and if you take the "self…read moreservice" you have to take your gelati outside to enjoy. Enter and pay for your order at the cashier on the left first, then line up to make your choice(s). Our kids wanted to go because Zendaya and Tom Holland love it here. They have good taste! We had the following flavours: dark chocolate and sour cherry (vegan), pistacchio, nocciola (hazelnut), gianduja (hazelnut & chocolate), raspberry, coffee. All were delicious!
Giolitti is the best gelato I've ever had in my life hands down. The flavors are endless my…read morefavorites are pistachio, white cream, white chocolate, and coffee. The cream that they put on top of the gelato is the icing on the cake. The line moved quick they have an amazing system in place and the service was great. I think about this place often. The vintage ambiance was amazing you can tell there is history there. I think of Giolitti often I can't wait till I'm back in Rome so I can have it again!

The tiramisu was perfect, perfect balanced sweetness, softness and richness. I wish they had some tables outside for folks to enjoy the tiramisu. Great find! Definitely give it a try. They also have recycle bins for you to throw your cups out after you're done.

I've tired tiramisu all over Italy and the best ones I had were in Florence . The shop is small and the line goes around the building , services was quick but again I really feel like because they made it on social media everyone is heading there to try it out not because it's exceptionally good but because it's on social media . I was one of those influenced and did same thing but I can say I wasn't impressed .

They have array of selections, from cannolis to sandwiches to cakes. The mini pastries were placed onto a paper tray, and sold by the weight. Since it far away from all the tourists traps, the price is very reasonable! I personally like their mini cannolis and mini cream puffs (chocolates delicious pistachio favor). We have been getting their sandwiches for breakfast as well. The staffs are very friendly and hard working. It's opened around 6am and closed around midnight. Customers comes and go with their array of snacks. If you happen to be in this area, I'd recommend checking out this cute neighborhood store!

They had a great large selection, prices reasonable and the customer service was lovely (despite the language barrier). I really enjoyed all the little sweets, great taste and fresh. Unfortunately they don't serve coffee and any other drinks are limited. There is only one little table to sit down at and it was occupied so I took my sweets to go to a near by cafe.

I'm still dreaming about this place…read more Bright, pretty and all the sweetness you can handle. There's outdoor seating to enjoy your caffe & patisserie or you can hang out inside... There's free WiFi so stay awhile. My favourite was the Baba... Soaked in rum! Early morning shot, anyone?! You pay before you eat but that is typical of a pasticceria so don't get all funny about it. I'd happily stand at the counter having more baba right now!!
Delicious, and open 24 hours!…read more Pay at the register before you go to the counter. They don't speak any English, but they are patient and very kind so just basic Italian will do. We got thw Nutella canolli (Canollo) €2.20, absolutely AMAZING and espresso (café) is reasonably priced: €.90. They have so many sweets and cake options, it will draw you in from the street! Already can't wait to come back before we leave town. Highly recommend!
Nutella cannoli! Yummy, and filling.

Delicious and creamy filling with crispy shells. So so good! Love the large size too. Chocolate Chip Cannoli was the best thing here! Balance of the chocolate chips and the ricotta filling with the shell was perfect. The mini ones were perfect for trying out different flavors. Husband tried the classic, chocolate chips and pistachio. Also got the Pistachio Lover. I think this was a bit too sweet. It had a white chocolate with starsheo coating around the shell, pistachio filling on the inside and more chopped pistachios on top. So I think overall it just got too sweet. Sister also ordered the Arancini and it was nice. Crispy and warm and quite big as well!
I came here EVERY DAY for a taste of their delicious gelato, which is the one daily indulgence I…read morepartook in when I was in Rome. Beautiful cafe very close to my hotel. They had a good, large selection of gelato for me to choose from. The service here was quite prompt and friendly, so I didn't have long to wait even though there was a language barrier and I was concerned about being snubbed when I first came here. So I was much relieved when THAT didn't happen. Very good, refreshing gelato. My favorite was definitely the hazel and tiramisu flavors. I also really those adorable little mousse cakes. Light, fluffy, airy, these desserts are not like the massive bombs of sugar you get in the States. It reminded me of a Kinder Bueno candy bar...but in a mousse cake form.

The whole place has that cozy, neighborhood bakery feel the second you walk in. Super warm, inviting, and just a really good energy overall.
