Il Gelatone Roma — Restaurant in Rome

I travel every year just to eat this gelato—yes, it’s that good. This Gelateria is more than just a place for dessert; it’s a destination in itself. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with a warm, welcoming vibe and the irresistible scent of freshly made gelato that instantly lifts your mood. The range of flavours is exceptional, combining traditional Italian classics with unique, imaginative creations. Every scoop is rich, creamy, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The pistachio is perfectly nutty and smooth, the dark chocolate is decadently rich, and the fruit sorbets—especially mango and raspberry—are fresh, vibrant, and refreshing without being overly sweet. The staff are always kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They’re happy to let you sample flavours and help you choose the perfect combo. Service is fast, friendly, and everything is beautifully presented. I’ve tried gelato in many places around the world, but nothing compares to this. It’s become my annual tradition to visit, and every year, it’s just as magical. Quite simply, the best gelato...

It is rare to find a food place that has options for my dietary restrictions. When I found they offered GF cones and vegan options, to say I was ecstatic was an understatement. My experience, however, was a disappointment.

Upon ordering, I had to correct the staff member as a non-GF cone was grabbed. I then asked for a Vegan Pistachio and was aggressively interrupted by another staff member asking if I had an allergy. I said no, but an intolerance. Before completing my sentence, she said, “We cannot help you.” I tried to calmly clarify that I can eat these options (being GF and Vegan), and she said, “We cannot serve you” and rudely gestured for me to leave.

If you are eating GF & vegan, try this place at your own risk. They had the GF cones and labeled Vegan gelato (no gelato was labeled if GF or not though).

Would give 0 stars based on my interaction & their customer service, but kept 1 as my husband’s normal Cappuccino gelato in a gluten-filled cone was delicious...

The ambiance of the gelateria is charming, with friendly staff who are passionate about their craft.
