Most delicious ice cream. Expect long queues and you need to pay at the till before ordering the ice cream or buying anything from the place but the system works great and it is well worth the visit. Only from a short distance away from...the Trevi fountain and it’s great to combine both.More

After 40 minutes waiting for 2 ice creams and on epastry in one of the tables, we asked how long it would still take and the waiter answered us in a very rude way. There are so many good ice cream places in Rome, no...need at all to have this treatment.More

This is the best gelato in Rome! You definitely should try it. Personally I like the gelato with cream on top. The price is really good as well.

Giolitti was recommended to us by a native Roman, as one of the best gelato places in town. They do a very authentic home-made gelato, and we absolutely loved it. We enjoyed hazelnut, walnut, and salted caramels on waffle cones. The beautiful interior harks back...to the late 19th century, and oozes old-world class.More

We went twice during a recent trip. The fruit flavors are the best ones (strawberry was a favorite) and the black licorice was so authentic! Pistacchio was great too. Be sure to get in line to pay before you head back to order your gelato....The pastries & confections in the front room are also excellent.More

Best gelatos in Rome! Do try the Fruit Di Biscos and Hazelnut Chocolate gelatos. They are also very big in size for a nominal prize.

Superb ice cream, every flavor we tried was a hit, everyone enjoyed it so much and the waiting in line on Sunday was definitely worth it! The other desserts we saw in their cafe seemed so good as well, but we didn’t have a chance...to try them. Go there and enjoy!More

Excellent ice creams, alike in 1990 for my first visit to Roma. Generous and better quality/quantité/price ratio. We went almost everyday during our trip in Roma.

Giolitti is the place to go for REALLY delicious and genuine Roman gelato. Diverse flavors, all made to a very high and consistent standard. I’m frankly puzzled that a few reviews criticize the quality of this establishment’s gelato. We’ve been there a number of times...over many years, and always enjoy it thoroughly. The waiting staff are admirable that they manage to retain their cool and bonhomie as they attend to the hordes of people with their diverse choices. Truly a wonderful experience every time we visit!More

Returned to bring friends to this iconic gelateria which has a historic interior, a wide variety of flavors, and also sells various sweets. The gelato is excellent and the whipped cream is just another way they make it even better. After being away for almost...10 years, this is still the best. When in Rome, you must stop here!More

We had a six day family break in Rome. Hardly a day went by without a visit to Giolitti. Generous portions of top quality ice cream. No trip to Rome would be complete without a visit to this wonderful establishment!
