Description: Located in the center of Budapest (Basilica), Gelarto Rosa is THE BEST ice cream in this town! Owner, the charismatic Niki Szokron studied the secrets of old Italian family recipes straight from the source in Italy and brought it back to her city. The philosophy behind it: fresh and true quality ingredients, old Italian traditions, modern technic and as final touch, add artistic creativity.The pretty ice cream girls at Niki's shop "create" each and every portion or cone as a unique artwork using ice cream as art material. It's simply amazing! Dont't miss Peti (the barista) great Italian style coffee, and have real French macaroon from Juliette McAron.

“Beautiful Gelato”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

While living in Italy we had fantastic gelato over the years. We were really impressed by the flavors Gelarto Rose carries. The way they make the rose on the cone is simply beautiful!!!! One may think you're crazy for taking photos of gelato or ice cream but not here. The gelato is art!! We had the white chocolate lavender. Srumptious!!!!

“Fantastic icecream!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I loved the icream which were shaped into a rose, really pretty. I especially loved the white chocolate and lavender icecream. We went here twice, even when it was snowing outside! They didn't have many flavours, but I'm assuming they would have more during Summer. Staff are very nice and the icecream is very delicious!
