L'Arena del Gelato — Restaurant in Rome

I recently stopped by this charming gelato spot, and it was pure bliss from the first bite! I treated myself to scoops of dark chocolate and vanilla cream, and both were absolutely out of this world. The dark chocolate was rich, deep, and beautifully intense—perfect for any true chocolate lover. The vanilla cream, on the other hand, was luxuriously smooth with just the right touch of sweetness and an incredibly creamy texture that felt like a hug in a cone (in my case - a cup).

The staff were friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about their craft. They took the time to chat and offer recommendations, which made the whole experience feel personal and inviting. The shop itself had a lovely, laid-back vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy every bite.

If you’re looking for gelato that’s made with care and served with a smile, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back for more (and probably trying every flavor...

My husband and I came here after visiting Vatican City and it caught our eye because they have homemade cones. As soon as entered we asked for recommendations and the staff member willingly gave us samples that would go well with our desired flavor (other shops only let you try one). We appreciated the attention to detail and customer care. We paid a decent price for incredible gelato!!! I had their speciality gelatos and my husband had the cream with mango. Easily the best gelato place in Rome!

P.S - the average price is 3-3.5 for the small cone/cup but the homemade cone is 5 euros....

This place has incredible gelato with high-quality ingredients and is very allergy friendly! I have severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts and I had tons of options to choose from here. I spoke to the owner Giuseppe who was very welcoming; he told me about all of the precautions he takes to ensure people with food allergies can eat safely there, like using a clean scoop and making the fruit flavors first in the morning so there is no cross-contamination. I got three flavors - pumpkin, coconut, and pear with cinnamon, and all were delicious and made with real ingredients. Thanks so...
