Holy Italian cioccolato! So before I left for Rome, I did some research on where to buy chocolate…read morebecause, well, I seek out the best chocolate everywhere that I go. Now, I had forgotten about this place until (happily), I came across it quite by accident while strolling around Monti. So of course, I stopped in. I was greeted by the store clerk who I first thought was a little mean-looking. However. She was a delightful woman who spoke to me in French and took the time to tell me about the different flavors, pricing etc. she was very helpful and didn't rush me as I decided which flavors I wanted. Great service. I selected a handful of flavors - about ten pieces of chocolate, and these cost 8€. Let me tell you one very important thing: this chocolate is totally worth the price. Thus far, I've tried the orange slice dipped in dark chocolate, and the lemon peel (also dipped in dark chocolate) and I can confirm that we are looking at quality. Fantastic flavors! The chocolatier makes each piece right there so you know it's authentic and fresh. Interestingly, the chocolatier is the son of the man who owns the very well known Moriondo è Gariglio, who happens to be Rome's oldest chocolate shop - so he learned from the best. If you're in Monti, these guys are worth the detour.

This Aladdin's cave of chocolates and sweets is tempting all year round, although the window…read moredisplays really pop at Easter and Christmas with themed goodies. If you're just expecting top quality handmade chocolates, you won't be disappointed; but this store has plenty more to offer as well. Jams, teas and infusions, jellies, biscuits, sugared almonds and chocolate spreads and crèmes make it tough for even the most self-disciplined shopper to leave empty-handed. They also serve an excellent hot chocolate, to drink inside or take away. The service is friendly and attentive, and although the handmade chocolates are quite pricey, you won't be disappointed with the quality. Remember, chocolate is made from a bean so technically it's a vegetable! ;) Eat your veggies! Yum!

Location, Location, & Location! Quite a nice location!…read more I discovered this amazing Italian gelato place in the heart of Roma Italy. It was just around the corner from my Bed & Breakfast and just so happened to come across it while out on a run through the streets on a risk October 2014 evening. You could say that this place is a hole in the wall and a place where you could easily overlook a place, if you were not looking. It was safe to say that I have been here twice during my stay in central Roma. It was a simple gelato store with a lot of heart. And while this place is a mom & pop store, its decidedly a great place to visit for your after dinner dessert or gelato for any meal or snack you desire. Any excuse is a great excuse for gelato, am I right? You bet! The experience here was short and sweet. It was basically a take out gelato bar, but they did have seating in the store. Like a Bubbies or a Baskin Robbins, but here in Roma. The dude at the counter was understanding of my very limited Italian. I pointed to the cups and said "this one" or "no, that other one". It was a very interesting cultural exchange, but a fun one, nonetheless. I would have to recommend the "chocolat", which is what drives me. It's a rich and creamy dark chocolate gelato that was pretty sinful. I never had such a dark chocolate gelato as good as this one. For me, I had a sampler of this one in a large cup in my 1st outing, and returned for a generous pint of the good stuff. La Neviera's version of gelato - at least for the chocolat, was very decadent, delicious, and just so good you just need to try. While there may be some, who just like regular chocolate, this one will knock your socks off. Dark chocolate is the best, especially when it comes to ice cream and gelato. The La Nevirva gelato shop is located near the corner of Via Taranto, Via Taranto 66, to be exact. There is street parking available here, so that's cool, but you just need to catch it at the right time. Several bus routes go through here, so best bet would just get here and never mind how you do. The gelato here is awesome and you would be too, if you got some of this.The prices here are reasonable. The large cup was about 4 euros, whereas the more pricer pint /mini tub of gelato was about 6.5 euros. It wasn't that bad when you are a chocolat addict. Win win and on vacation too! La Nevirva, like most small mom and pop stores, does not accept credit cards. Cash only, but not a problem! There's about 12 different flavors of gelato to choose from, but when in doubt, I choose chocolat! The dude at the counter was nice and very much professional. The service was nice and expected. The gelato shop was clean and very orderly. It did felt like I was in someone's home, in a way. Not that it was bad, but just the feeling of that made me feel at home - sort of. Yes, this place is good here and definitely recommend having your gelato here. Support local mom and pops are the way to go and you'd get homespun gelato versus the commercial junk from the other peeps. Definitely get your ass over here and get it. Choose your own favorite flavor or mix and match for a great combination! Support local! A+

Possibly the best gelato I've had in Rome so far! I got the Mora and a chocolate (one of three…read moretypes!). You can tell this place is legit because it is in a fairly quiet area and has tons of locals going in and out for a scoop of gelato. We had to do lots of gesturing to explain what we wanted, but the service was friendly. The store itself is very humble with minimal decoration, so you know the gelato speaks for itself. Worth the hike up the Monteverde steps!

I tried the chocolate covered orange peels, plain croissant with honey on top, mini fruit tarts, petit fours, a delicious mini butterscotch thing, mini cannolis, and one of the larger chocolate tarts. It's all a blur but it tasted great going down. The lattes and spinach paninos are also great!

I'll need to walk an additional 10k steps just to be able to treat myself to this decadent treat each night before bed. They also have beautiful gelato base cakes in different sizes, gelato bars, lollipops etc! Ugh!

I came here in the morning around 9 am with my friend for breakfast because we both wanted to try maritozzi closest to our hostel, which is basically a croissant or pastry FILLED (yes, filled.) with whipped cream. It almost looked like it was going to explode. For 1.50 euros, it was totally worth it. It might send a sugar shock to your body (I hope mines doesn't hate me) but it was so good. They have a wide variety of GIANT pastries and croissants that vary from 1.50-3 euro. I read a sign that after 21:00 they have 10 for 5 euro pastries. How nice! No coffee is served here but they have an instant coffee vending machine that I don't know if I would trust. Friendly service also and isn't a very touristy spot which I like.
