This gelato was one of the best that I had while in Italy! I got the mimosa(the most popular flavor) and fragola. The woman who helped us was extremely friendly and spoke many languages (Spanish, French, English, German, italian). She gave us information about all the different flavors and told us about which ones are the most popular. She also gave us information about spots to visit while in Genova! The overall vibe of the restaurant was fantastic. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Genova! Excellent service!!! read more

First of all, the gelato is awesome. 2.5 euro for two large scoop is a deal. There are some interesting flavors such as ginger one and I love it. But it is Rosa, the owner, makes it unforgettable to me. This is my first day in Italy, I was heading to Florence and I stayed in Genoa for a few hours as transfer. After I ordered the gelato I found I brought the wrong wallet with me- no euros, only dollars in it. I felt super awkward and embarrassed, but Rosa was so nice, she insisted to first give me the cone and told me not to worry. I asked her where I can exchange some euro and she told me a place. Unfortunately it wasn't open. When I returned Rosa said that's all right. She travels a lot and understands how annoying it is in this situation. I made a mistake but Rosa made me feel warm. I felt this is a great beginning of my trip in Italy. read more

Wonderful place! Rosa speaks German, Italian, and English. Very friendly and eager to give out samples - if you're American and lost, she will happily give you 4+ samples to all the strange flavors. Dark chocolate was rich and wonderful - my personal favorite. Pear actually tasted like pear. Very recommended! Thanks, Rosa. read more

Profumo di Rosa - Gelato Near Me - Genoa, GE

This gelato shop is special. I didn't expect it from one on a high tourist traffic street. The young woman behind the counter was so charming and funny. She gave me samples of nearly flavor - all the ones unusual to me. She spoke English very well and was happy to do so, which is always a plus. As for the quality of the gelato, it is made In-house & that shows in the freshness of the fruit flavors. I had the mimosa (with bits of meringue) & pomegranate. Sooo good! read more

Profumo di Rosa - Sampling flavors! - Gelato Near Me - Genoa, GE

Delicious selection and memorable owner. I enjoyed the pistachio flavor very much but the mimosa was great too.

As others have said, the owner is really lovely, and was happy to offer samples. She's also very welcoming to people with food allergies or other restrictions; she was happy to explain which flavors had particular allergens and ingredients, and asked up-front if we had any restrictions when we asked for recommendations. You can get two flavors in even the smallest cup, for only 2 euros. Over two visits, I tried the plum, stracciatella, mango, and amarena, and my sister tried the dark chocolate, almond+saffron, mimosa, and coffee. All of them were excellent, but the plum gelato was mind-blowing - without exaggeration, it was the best fruit gelato I've ever tasted. I thought the dark chocolate was also particularly amazing (my sister and I traded samples). But you can't really go wrong here. read more

Best gelato I've ever had, by the sweetest woman, Rosa. Not sure if she herself is from Genoa, but exactly what you imagine when you think of Italian warmth and hospitality. She insisted my sister and I try a sample of everything. I ended up getting three because they're all so delicious, and it was under 3 euros. Omg. Put this place on your list! read more

Reading the reviews beforehand, I was hoping for more respectively special flavours. In the end, there were rather the mainstream ones (mango, chocolate). Upside, the nice lady let me try the different flavours before choosing my icecream read more
