Visited in July 2024. Definitely the best gelateria we had in Rome, so we came back a second time. There is plenty of space to stand or walk around outside to eat your gelato, but we also stayed in one day to eat inside (keep in mind, it’s an extra charge to be seated). I tried the lemon (amazing, more sweet than usual lemon, which can be bitter/sour sometimes), amarena (good), gnutella (very rich, like pure, frozen Nutella), and zabaglione (good). I would definitely come back here when in Rome. Even the local taxi driver recommended it when he was dropping us off at our hotel in the area.
Definitely the best ice cream in Rome, every flavor we tested was amazing especially lemon and passion fruit ones. I will gladly come back here to taste other ones.
Amazing ice cream. I tried 4 flavors, and all of them were very good. They also add some whipped cream on top if you like. It is a very nice plus.
Giolitti had become our favourite stop in Rome. We came back everyday for breakfast and gelato breaks.
That’s how much we love their pastries and gelatos.
It did take us a bit to figure out how things work in the restaurant. There are 2 pricing for take away/ eat/drink standing at the bar and dine in. We saw many were confused and complained. I think everyone just need to be patience and figure out the local customs. That’s the fun of travelling afterall. And the staffs are very friendly and endearing.
We came very morning for breakfast and there were many local residents and dogs! The dogs got offered some prosciutto which was the cutest things. I had fond memories here 🫶🏼
Do try out their Sour Cherry and fior di panna gelato. I also think their pistachio gelato is the best. And don’t miss the granita. For 5 euro, it is the best deal you can get in the city and you can taste the real fruit in there.
The afternoon tends to be packed with tourists. I think morning is the best time.

Super delicious. Could eat here everyday. Highly recommend if you are new to Rome. I got pistachio and vanilla. Very rich in flavor and exquisite texture.
Best gelato I had ever. Stop reading and go there.
We had a couple of gelato in Rome all from the best rates places and this one was above by a notch.
They have like 100 flavors so it caters for everyone tastes.
It was burning hot and went for lemon/blueberry and it both were good especially mixed together
Highly recommend

Really wanted to like this based on all the good reviews received! The Gelato itself is too sweet for my liking (ordered hazelnut, almond, chocolate and mango). The taste altogether didn't really differentiate from one another; just sweet on sweet.
FYI you will need to pay at the cashier before ordering at the ice cream counter. We got quite a terse sounding from one of the employees!
Also, there is no sitting area around so people were just standing outside the shop with their Gelato. You need to pay table service charge if you wanted to sit down to eat... money making scheme from tourists.

Truly delicious gelato! The line is long but it moves very fast. While in line, check out the flavors on the screens above so you don’t panic order when you get up to the glass. I got raspberry, blackberry, and pink grapefruit and loved each one of them. They taste like the true fruit, not the artificial flavoring. They offer a free dollop of cream on top — get it! Their gelato is the smoothest I’ve ever had. Highly recommend stopping here to cool down with a sweet treat!
