Finally honest to goodness Gelato. Some places called themselves gelato but was actually just ice cream perpetrating Gelato. We left pizza forum and walked right next door to Costanza, not very large place. Line was out the door but moved swiftly. I'm not big on sweets but when in Rome... u know the rest. One scoop or two is the same price so get two. I tried the coconut and another type that contained some alcohol in it don't recall the Italian name. It was very good highly recommend you try this place. read more

I want to start of by saying I'm in the minority of human beings and I'm not a huge gelato fan. But holy smokes does this place take the cake. Legitimately life altering quality in this little cup. I could have eaten this every single night if my jeans would have allowed me too. Could not recommend it highly enough. read more

They would not serve me daughter anything at all because of her nut allergies. Like not even a lemon slushy from the machine. Way to make a young tourist cry on vacation. We actually came here because another review said they are allergy friendly. read more

The best gelato we found in Italy! It was voted best in Rome. Staff is friendly and speaks some English. If you can speak to them in Spanish, they can understand you pretty well. It's a small shop with no room to sit inside. There are plenty of places to sit just outside the door. The gelato is reasonably priced and you get a HUGE amount. We paid about $5 euros for 4 scoops on a cone. We're thought that they were going to be small scoops, but we were wrong.... We all had our favorites but the group favorite and one of the most popular is coconut. read more

This was my first time trying gelato in Rome, and I was very pleased! Decently priced for its location- I've been told that you should look for gelato prices at about 2.5€ for a small, and this was 3€. You can expect gelato to be a bit more in areas with a prime location. We enjoyed taking our gelato outside and taking in the view, doing some people watching and resting our feet. I recommend if you are in the area! My favorite flavor was the strawberry. read more

The ge lato at this gelateria was quite good. I appreciated its location near the Colosseum. The dark chocolate was intense, almost like eating a good quality dark chocolate bar, and the other two flavors were also good. I would recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Finally found a gelato place that was not good at all. We went to some of the best places for gelato but wanted to try something close to the hotel....so we went to walk down to this place because of the things. It was not quality at all. I gave it an extra star because it was cold and the staff was nice. But the gelato was bad. read more

So good I came twice. If you're a black cherry fan you can't miss this spot. I also tried the mint and milk chocolate - yummm. You eat it staring up at the marvel that is the colosseum. What a city. Will be dreaming of this place when I'm back stateside. read more

Right near the colosseum so I was surprised that it was so good! The gelato was creamy! My favorite flavor was pistachio. The price is great. I came here almost every day for the ice cream. Not too sweet, not too bland - it was just perfect! read more

Delicious gelato place super close to the Colosseum. Gelato was creamy and not overly sweet. I tried the pistachio and hazelnut, 5 starts for both and good value (€ 3,50 for 2 scoops) in a highly touristy area. No line at 9pm on a Sunday. read more

Representative of the best of Roman gelatterie. This place has friendly service, a lot of flavors, great quality, and low prices. It's just two blocks from the Colosseum and perfect for grabbing a cup to eat as you stroll around the ancient ruins. Rappresentante delle migliori gelaterie romane. Questo posto ha un servizio cordiale, molti sapori, ottima qualità e prezzi bassi. È a soli due isolati dal Colosseo ed è perfetto per prendere una tazza da mangiare mentre passeggi tra le antiche rovine. read more

The taste is AMAZING!! So delicious that we went back the next day to get seconds. Very creamy and flavorful and the flavors are very rich. They let you sample flavors beforehand, they didn't tell us how many we could sample but we each tried one flavor. With so many flavor options it's difficult to choose! As an added bonus, the shop is located on a street directly facing the Colosseum. I loved the fact that we were enjoying authentic gelato with those magnificent views! So it's not only delicious, but also picture perfect location to pose with your dessert or just shoot a picture of your cone/cup with the awesome background. read more

Excellent gelato and fruit slushes a short walk from the Colosseum. We got mango slushes, pistachio and mango gelato, and my daughter also got a mix of two flavors that she enjoyed (can't recall the flavors right now). Ingredients tasted fresh/real and were so refreshing on a hot afternoon in Rome. read more

I was surprised by the great reviews this place had considering it was so close to the Colosseum, so decided to check it out! It is just down the street past the hop-on-hop-off bus kiosk. This was one of the best gelato places I have had in Rome! I got the hazelnut and the stracciatella flavors on a cone and it was delicious. The hazelnut was flavorful and the stracciatella was not too sweet. In addition, the cone was really good! Don't forget to ask for panna (whipped cream). I would definitely come back! read more

The BEST gelato in Rome!! My husband picked this place and scored high points because it was the best gelato we had in Rome. The views are incredible, because it's directly across from the Colosseum and right next to the gladiators training ground. We sat on the retaining wall and took in the views next to us, imagining gladiators in training and running through tunnels to reach the main arena floor. But back to the gelato. I had the coffee and pistachio gelato on a cone. The texture was very smooth and the flavors were incredible. My husband ordered 4 flavors and enjoyed his cone as well. read more

I spotted this shop and it had the most tempting and delicious looking pastries in their windows. I ended up purchasing a box of desserts and it was all super delicious: 1) Dark chocolate mousse - my favorite of the selection. It was rich and creamy and just delicious. 2) White chocolate mousse - surprise with a hazelnut filling and lovely lemon peel. 3) Pistachio & Dark chocolate cake - so good! Polished this off pretty quickly the nuttiness of the pistachio 4) Chocolate Trio - layer of white chocolate, followed by hazelnut and then regular chocolate all atop a layer of a layer of cake. 5) Cannoli (large size) - was super good and crispy shell pastry with wonderful soft filing inside. Large was one big enough to split between two folks too! Cost averaged between €2.50 -€3.00 per pastry and absolutely well worth it for how delicious they tasted! However we sampled their biscuits, and they weren't to our taste, so super glad got to try them before had purchased them! Yelp 273/ 2018 read more

O-M-G....This gelato was AMAZING! It was creamy and so tasty. Unlike other gelatos that we tries that have an icy taste, this one doesn't at all. It melts in your mouth! The good thing about this gelateria is that you get a taste test. Even though you can only taste about 2 flavors, other places don't give you any taste tests at all. They give you 3 scoops regardless of the size ypu choose. You can get a cup or cone. Also, it's close to the Colosseum, walking distance. I picked white chocolate, nutella, and chocolate chip. If you are by the Colosseum, this gelateria is where its at. Don't miss out! read more

My friend really liked her ice cream, i had the shaved ice and it did not look like the photos it was more like melted ice because it was 50% ice 50% flavor so it was too sweet read more

My husband and I were near the Colosseum and wanted to get some Gelato so we decided to stop here based on the other reviews. They didn't disappoint and this place is excellent and a good value. I think it was 2.5 euro for 2 or 3 flavors? I got the coffee and chocolate and my husband had dark chocolate and coffee. Both were excellent and if there weren't a hundred other places we wanted to try in different areas, we would have come back here again. read more

In an instant this became my groups go-to gelato spot! It's only a couple minutes from the Coliseum and probably the only place on the block not priced at a tourist level. The gelato is not priced by the scoop, rather by the bowl/cone, and the generous portions make it well worth the price! I'd recommend crossing the street with your gelato and enjoying it while taking in the coliseum and the ruins that are down below the sidewalk! A must-have while in Rome! read more

Gelateria da Costanza - Sunset over the Coliseum and some ruins while enjoying some amazing gelato! (Pistachio and extra dark) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rome, RM

The gelato was pretty good but on bland side. Food near the Colosseum seems to not be as good as in some of the other neighborhoods.

We found this place on our trip to Rome in 2018 as it was close to our flat. I was so taken with the KitKat gelato that we went back numerous times. Now that we are planning a return trip to Rome, we looked for an AirBnB that is close enough to the Gelateria so that I can once again enjoy their delicious gelato!!! Cannot wait to taste it again and I wish I could bring some home! read more

Came here after leaving the Colosseum. The gelato was so good. Creamy and delicious. I got the dark chocolate and the coffee flavors. I recommend both! Wish we had time to go again before leaving but if I'm ever back in Rome I will surely return read more

I've been to many gelaterias during our visits to Italy (too many in my husband's opinion)... I love this place because it's clean, the staff is nice, I've always felt welcome there... except for that one lady who was kind of rude, couldn't speak English and didn't make an effort to try and understand my questions, she didn't hide her frustration either. Anyway, that happened only once and I wouldn't trash this place just for one unpleasant interaction. Everybody has their bad days, right? Most importantly, the gelato is AMAZING! I've stopped trying to like pistachio ice cream a long time ago. They just never tasted good to me. I decided to give it a try there and it was DELICIOUS, especially with their chocolate truffle. I've had that combo pretty much every time we passed the gelateria, which is a lot as it's located on the same block as our Airbnb. Best of all, my sweet Italian addiction only cost me 2.5 euros per cone! I had gelato at fancier restaurants that charge more for a crumbly texture, not at all what gelato's supposed to be like. I just have to mention that this gelateria is located right next to the Colosseum so it's usually busy, but hey, I wouldn't waste my time and money at a restaurant that looks empty. Besides, anything that's good is worth a little wait :) read more

The ice cream was delicious. We ordered frozen yogurt (with and without frozen berries), vanilla with chocolate chunks and plain vanilla. The service was quite quick , but the staff wasn't very friendly. We also had to tell what we wanted multiple times and on top of that we paid more than we should have because one of the staff members made a mistake. read more

When in Rome it is wrong if not downright illegal to leave the city without having had at least one gelato, sitting somewhere sunny, hoping the icecream never ends. I chose to have mine here - it was strawberry and it was fantastic plus it was only 2 Euro - given that it was right beside the Colosseum, this seemed very reasonable, read more

I didn't think it would be amazing because its literally right next to the colosseum but I was wrong! My husband and I had just had lunch when he wanted a cannoli and I wanted some gelato. we looked on yelp and found an other place for him to have a cannoli but their gelato was only so-so, so I didn't get my gelato. walking back toward the train station we saw this place filled with people so we stopped in for my gelato! sidenote: they also had cannolis which my husband said were better than the one he had 10 minutes prior (we are gluttons on vacation...actually...everyday and everywhere!) I ordered the mango and fior di latte (milk) and they were both INCREDIBLE. I like my gelato to be firm and dense and this was perfect! my husband, already full from 2 cannolis and lunch, took a few spoonfuls of mine and told me we had to go back for dessert! so..we went back to out room, chilled out for a bit, then to dinner and then right back here for dessert! this time I had kiwi and cherry! the kiwi was the absolute best fruit flavor gelato ever! anyway, I think this gelateria was the highlight of our stay in rome. lol read more

Great flavorful gelato! A nice pick me up on a hot Rome day especially after sight seeing in the colosseum area. Nice sized portions and an assortment of delicious flavors. My husband ordered pistachio and coconut, and I ordered the Stracciatella which is a vanilla gelato with chocolate shavings inside. We were extremely satisfied with our choices and will probably return tomorrow since it's like 20 steps from our Air BnB. read more
