Great tasting gelato and chocolate. Service was really quick. They have chocolate on one side of the building and gelato on the other. The place is bright and airy. read more

Pretty good ice cream and chocolate. It has a nice ambience. I prefer Old Bridge near the Vatican

I visited Italy and my four year old son specifically requested a heart shaped box of chocolate with different types of chocolate inside. I walked by Venchi and was so excited to see that exact gift. Andrea and Giulia greeted me and gave me a taste of chocolate olive oil that was so good I am still talking about it, I had never even heard of such a thing before. They were so funny and welcoming, I loved chatting with both of them and they gave me some great recs for ice cream choices. Definitely a must visit! They also told me there are locations in the U.S. so I will be looking those up. read more

This chocolate is amazing! Brought some back to Florida. I tried several different ones and we got our tour guide some to thank her for her service! read more

Server was rude and the gelato okay at best. Tasted more like ice milk than gelato. We tried Giolitte gelato yesterday and it was amazing. Great taste and the consistency was very creamy. read more

Venchi was a fun place to get some great quality gelato. Dario let me sample a couple gelatos before I chose my flavors. I tasted the Straticiella which is what I almost always order. Venchi's was okay. I loved the samples of chocolate and hazelnut and dark chocolate. I am not even much of a chocolate fan but these were awesome. I ordered 4 scoops of gelato in a waffle cone. This was only 5 Euros. The scoops were not huge, but still well worth it. I ended up ordering those two scoops of chocolate plus 2 scoops of Straticiella. I am annoyed with myself for doing that since I did not love that Straticiella but habits are hard to break!!! This is a very clean gelateria and I believe they sell candy too although I was super focused on the gelato. Lol read more

Venchi is such a lovely gelato spot that has so many divine flavors of gelato and sorbet for you to enjoy. It also comes with many cones. You won't miss it because it is a very lighted and bright place. In this location, there is typically a line as this on is close to the Trevi fountain. I suggest going to this one because there is another one nearby where there are trainees and they don't serve as well. Grab any flavor as they are all delicious and definitely grab a date and take a walk to the fountain or Pantheon!! read more

Everyone was super polite and the liquid chocolate was amazing. So glad that they had vegan options and were in stock. Hoping that they will have more vegan flavors one day!! read more

We walked by this place during the day on Sunday and it was madness. The line was out the door and wrapped around the building. We walked by later that night at around 11pm and there were only 4 people in line so we decided to check it out. SO glad we did!! The gelato was creamy and soft, the crepe was sweet and doughy, and it was just a magical dessert. Highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Walked in here for a quick little gelato. I had the hazelnut and also the milk chocolate with chopped hazelnuts on top. The boyfriend got caramel. We both added cream to the top. I like that this place will let you try a couple flavors, that's always nice. Pretty descent selection, left satisfied. read more

Best gelato in Rome!!! That is all I need to say! I highly recommend that you try this gelato shop. They have a range of cones and cups and what seems like a million choices of flavor. I recommend stracciella for those who like milk, chocolate or all things deliciously flavored! They also have great sorbet choices! read more

Stumbled upon this little gem about an hour after arriving to Rome. Line our the door, intoxicating smells of waffle cone, had to check it out.  Chocolate wall, check Lots of flavor options, check Waffle cones, check Hazelnut, check Raspberries, check Now waffles cones dipped in hazelnut and then dipped in crunchy raspberry pieces, mind blown!!!!! Waited in the line and it was worth it! Wish we had a chance to go back, but def next time! Fun fact: they also have one in the FCO airport! read more

The best gelato in all of Italy! The ladies working the counter could have been a little friendlier, though. The gelato was super creamy, didn't melt very fast but not overly sweet. I can't quite remember the exact flavors we both got, but we agreed both flavors were amazing and decadent. Fair prices for the quality and size here. They have a huge assortment of gelatos and chocolates. And their shop is well lit, clean and adorable. I did end up buying some chocolates while in Florence at one of their locations over there for some friends. They are pricey chocolates but heard they're worth it. read more

This place reminds me of the chocolate shops at the Bellagio in Vegas. Upon walking in, there is a wall that says Venchi with chocolate falling down. I opted for a piccolo (small) 2 flavors for 3,20 euros I believe. A premium cone was an extra 0,70 euros. I got the strawberry and the milk chocolate hazelnut flavor which was OUT OF THIS WORLD CREAMYY. It was sooo good, I was sad it only lasted for 5 mins since it was thattttt good, and... it started to melt after several pictures lol. Since I enjoyed it so much the first time, I went back a second time to a different location, and got 2 other flavors. I opted for the chocolate with hazelnut topping and mango. This combination wasn't as great as my first combo. I was a bit disappointed since the chocolate didn't really taste like hazelnut.. When in Italy, do yourself a favor and get some gelato! read more

Taste: wonderful Line: long but worth it Staff: unsure if anyone smiled. Overall: would definitely go again but if I only had one place to get gelato ever, I'd pick something that wasn't like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Being from Orlando, it isn't a new concept for us. Always prefer a small family-run place with excellent reviews/service. This was very fun and yummy, however. The "chocolate wall" was terribly fun. The first member of staff we encountered was irritated that we didn't know to tell him 1, 2, or 3 scoops and cup/cone. No one directed us what to do until the moment you get up there with the small sign. Perhaps we missed something that did but couldn't tell. You tell him that, pay, he gives you a receipt which you then shuffle down to the gelato area and hand to the person who will put your order together. If you ordered a cone, be prepared to point to her which one you want and she will prepare it fresh (loved that). So yummy, yet portions are not large at all which was disappointing after that long wait. Fun to go to while in Rome, regardless. read more

You'll find Venchi stores just about anywhere in Italy. They are a large chain, established back in the 1800s. Having said that, I am always about the value of food. Perhaps I'm spoiled with the cheap, good quality food I can access in Los Angeles, but Venchi did not seem to be worth the €3.50 for 2 scoops. I have been to a lot of gelato places, so I'm fairly good at identifying good quality gelato. Venchi definitely has better quality for their chocolate-flavored gelatos. However, the fruit flavors are extremely shiny, which means they are either over sugared or are old. So if you visit Venchi, go for the non-glossy gelatos. If you don't care about freshness, choose whichever flavor you like. I'm sure it will still taste pretty decent. Many other smaller gelato places that are tucked behind alleys or not located in popular tourist areas offer more gelato at the same price. The scoops that Venchi provided were smaller than usual. The typical Italian way is that they put so much gelato on your cone that you almost have to eat fast to prevent it from dripping. At Venchi, this wasn't an issue because the scoops were small and contained within the cone. It may just be this location. I have heard that there are some locations where they are training younger staff. I would suggest at least trying Venchi to get a broader range of gelato experiences under your belt. read more

Fantastic gelato! Lots of chocolate/vanilla/caramel type flavors. A few sorbets available! LOVE that they do the chocolate and nuts/more chocolate dusting on the cone in front of you with a chocolate fountain. So fresh!! Will be going back while we're in Rome! read more

Delicious gelato near the Spanish Steps! I tried a bite of my husband's gelato with caramelized figs that was absolutely perfect in texture and flavor! I had the melone and a passion fruit/tangerine sorbet. I love that they have so many sorbet options (about 6 flavors) for those who are dairy sensitive! read more

This is one of the best gelatos I've had while in Italy. The line is always there but it is worth it. You pay first then get a ticket and order your flavors. The staff are very friendly and knew English and Spanish as well as Italian of course. My favorite was the strawberry stratiachella and coconut. You are able to try flavors also but be considerate of the people waiting to order. read more

I tried a LOT of gelato during my trip to Italy, but this one was definitely my favorite! Any one of the Venchi locations should be good. Their gelato is just perfectly sweet and smooth and everything you want in gelato. Even their shakes are delicious. If you're near a Venchi, don't hesitate to go!! You might just find your new favorite gelato place like I did :) read more

Candy and gelato, how could you not stop in here? So much chocolate goodness! The chocolates aren't cheap, but they sure are tasty. As, of course, is the gelato. They have classic gelato flavors, but also a couple that a bit different. I opted for the chocolate chip one, of course - as well as the mascarpone one that had I don't even know what in it. Very tasty! Note for us Americans: You pay first, then order. So the line works in reverse of what we're accustomed to. read more

The hot chocolate was thick like pudding and I loved it! It wasn't too sweet either. We didn't try the gelato, but I'm sure that was good too. Would highly recommend the hot chocolate. read more

Gelato? Do I even need to be asked? Of course not! Yes to gelato! There are gelato places everywhere you go all around Rome. Venchi is a bit different in that they also make chocolates. Not only can you get some good gelato but you can grab all types of chocolate to eat or as gifts. This place is pretty busy and a lot of their gelato has been scooped up! I went with hazelnut and pistachio on a cone. At 3.5 euros that's such a steal if the U.S. Dollar was the same as the euro. Too bad. The gelato is as good as I remember from a previous trip to Italy . Rich, creamy, and packed with real genuine flavor and ingredients. The pistachio has real nuts in it and is a natural green. The hazelnut was a vanilla with large swirls of very rich hazelnut chocolate. More gelato please! read more

I read that you can't trust gelato shops to be serving the real gelato with fresh ingredients. So if I was going to eat gelato it was going to be at one of the best in town. This place was one of those type of places. Authentic gelato that they have been serving for 100 years. Little on the expensive side, but not enough to turn away from it. Also in 100 degree heat, very hard to say no to delicious gelato. The lack of the amount of flavors would be my only complaint but they had all the ones that majority would order. We were happy. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing gelato! Discovered this little wonder on accident while walking down an alley near the Spanish Steps! It had a line out the door which moved extremely quickly! They have Small, Regular, Grande sizes, having 2, 3 or 4 scoops. They also offer gelato shakes which I had never seen before! My brother ordered a regular cone ( dipped in hazelnuts and dried strawberry) and I got a Grande cup. The total amounted to about 10€ for the two of us. The gelato is very creamy and delicious and varies from fruity to chocolate. I would recommend the chocolate with hazelnuts as it was my favorite! read more

If you are a fan of chocolate, you MUST stop here and try the gelato! The chocolate flavors are insanely chocolately! The gelato menu here has more "fussy" and gourmet style flavors that will appeal more to adults than children; I had the cinnamon dark chocolate gelato and it was yummy. It's not the best gelato ever, but the inventive flavors make it worth a stop. Friendly employees and generous scoops. read more

Venchi, Venchi, Venchi, what can I say? You really can't go wrong coming here. I was here at the end of July of this year and we decided to get a cone because it was crazy hot outside, about 100°F haha. I got the dark chocolate gelato with chocolate poured on the inside of the cone and whipped cream on top. It was sooo good. Their chocolate and gelato has really rich flavors. Unfortunately it was super hot so it melted pretty quickly. But I suggest you stop by at least once if you're in Italy and just go all out. read more

I tried the limon granita here and I couldn't have asked for anything more refreshing and delicious in that moment. I thought that this was what granita would then taste like in Italy and was I wrong. I had granita twice after and it was just sweet liquidy icy juice. Not at all like my venchi granita. Lesson I learned - the things that look like slurpy machines are what most gelato shops in tourist areas consider granita. Gross! Venchi has it sitting beside the gelato and its FROZEN. If you're there in the summer you will want this every day. I found venchi in Florence and Vienna as well. Their "frappes" are also delicious, as is their gelato go that matter. I had a dark chocolate and cafe frappe that was like a milkshake a coffee connoisseur would appreciate. read more

Venchi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rome, RM

Venchi is the gelato chain for tourists. Why? High prices that Italians don't want to pay, lack of quality and subpar ingredients. They invest in look and locations, leaving behind the reason why anyone would go eat a freshly made gelato. I'm very disappointed and unfortunately they took over the old small shops. It's getting almost impossible to find genuine gelato downtown Rome. read more

4.5 stars. The way I found out about this place was following a bunch of Italian kids (alright, that is kinda creepy), but that's how you know it is good gelato. I did not know about Venchi before visiting Italy but one thing I can say is that the products, both gelato and chocolate, have very high quality. While I'm pretty sure if this location, in such a touristy area, is probably busy all the time, I was impressed with how professional the staffs were. They were all smiling and moved very fast. The shop was also very cute, cozy and decorated with colorful gelato and chocolate figures. Venchi has quite a huge selection of gelato flavors. I went with vanilla and pitaschio while my brother went with one of their dark chocolate flavor. Both were delicious. The gelato was thick and creamy but it did not feel heavy at all. A good thing about it was that I could walk around for half an hour during mid-summer in Rome's old quarter and the gelato did not even melt. Also, there were a few selection of cones decorated with sprinkles and chocolate sauce, perfect if you're serious about your 'gram. Of course, being a famous brand, Venchi would not have the feeling of a local Italian gelato vendor if that's what you're looking for, but it is good authentic gelato and would not disappoint if you're looking for something good for your palate. read more
