I received a tall order this afternoon "find me some gelato to have on our balcony" and off I went…read morelooking. This place happened to be close to where we were staying and so I thought I should check it out. I am so glad I did :-))) A few ladies run the place and they have a massive counter with loads of flavours. Many flavours I knew and, many I had no idea what they were. It all looked amazing. They also had a huge section of cakes and ice cream on a stick dipped in chocolate, caramel and so on. I chose a tub with four flavours chocolate, Nutella, hazelnut and pistachio. A tub of about 10-12 scoops was about €10 for the whole lot including the styrofoam takeaway container....not bad at all :-)) The taste was amazing. I loved the pistachio the best and it was probably my best ever. I have had pistachio flavour over a thousand times and never this good. The hazelnut was also amazing as was the chocolate. It's too bad I did not get much time here as I would try each and every flavour to see :-))) I would happily come here any day for a wonderful gelato :-))) amazing :-)))

I was here in July 2011. This is one of the best ice cream parlours in Torino, according to a…read morefriend who has lived there most of his life. When you walk in, you will probably ooh and aah at the flavors you've never seen before. To me, this place is like a fantasy for those of us who can't stay away from the intoxicating combination of lactose and saturated fat. My bill for a dual-flavored cone came to 4 euro-- well spent indeed. Use Google to find photos of the cute interiors.

Delicious Gelato and Smooth Service We discovered this…read morefantastic local gelato shop, and the gelato was absolutely sublime rich, flavorful, and perfectly creamy. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality. Unlike the typical laid-back European pace, the service here was impressively efficient and well-organized no rush, no stress, just smooth and quick. Pro tip: Be sure to pay first at the register before getting in line to order your gelato. It keeps the process moving efficiently!

When you look up the best gelato shops in Turin, La Romana is sure to show up. This place knows how…read moreto do gelato right, and has a lot of seating for people to enjoy their desserts. I ordered the stracciatella and the croccante della nonna. Stracciatella is one of my favorite flavors of gelato, but I haven't found any place in NYC that makes it right. The chocolate chips are always too big or the gelato itself is too heavy. This place has THE BEST stracciatella. Super light and creamy, and the chocolate chips are light and crisp. I ordered the croccante della nonna because my server recommended it. INCREDIBLE!!! It's kind of like a salted caramel with crunchy nuts inside. Truly the best gelato I have ever had in my LIFE!

This gelato shop came highly recommended by Turin foodies. We came here around 2 pm for an…read moreafternoon sweet treat and we were surrounded by locals, including a man with his young daughter, two ladies who had been out shopping, and an elderly grandma. That's the point I'm trying to make: everyone loves ice cream! The shop is tiny and there are only a few high-top chairs for sitting. The employees didn't speak English but if you know basic Italian you'll be fine. Everyone, even the patrons, were extremely friendly and welcoming. We got a small cup to share. This place reminds me a lot of Grom, only much smaller. All of the gelato is homemade and it is delicious. You can't really go wrong with gelato in Italy, and Alberto Marchetti is a great stop if you're craving the cold sweet stuff!

Part of the Piedmont slow food movement (and a few of the flavors are identified "slow food" on the…read moremenu). And while I can say the gelato here is solid, the richness of the flavor still feels lacking from the true slow food amazing gelato experienced out in the countryside of Tuscany, out near the Ferragamo villas. Nor does it beat some off the beaten track spot in Roma. And while the extra dark chocolate is fantastic - it's comparable to the boutique gelato shops I find in Milan. However, unlike all the other gelato spots everywhere else I've visited in Italy - the service is quite terrible. Rushed (ironic for a place marketing slow food), presumptuous (yes, I look petite but I like to eat so don't automatically assume I want the small and stop looking annoyed that you have to put the small cup back when I order medium so I can add an additional flavor, and please add my flavor without grunting and sighing - I can handle the calories thank you), and irresponsibly dismissive (when I ask politely in Italian whether the extra dark chocolate is GF and you say ALL flavors are gluten free, no, I see Tiramisu and other gluten-ful flavors and know I'm taking a risk) Summary of the flavors tried: Fior di latte - sweet enough it tasted a bit bitter Pistachio - flavorful Extra dark chocolate - Very rich and flavorful, and the right balance of sweetness Overall, I found the place to be a bit of a hype and for what I can find else where with much friendlier staff and service, and more importantly, safety in getting the right information for actual dietary restrictions that impact my health, I will not be back.
