Gelateria La Romana

Terrible experience – avoid this place! On June 27th, my bag was stolen while I was having ice cream in this almost empty café. I had briefly walked to the fridge to pick a dessert, and when I returned, my bag was gone. I clearly remember 3–4 suspicious people walking in with bags and leaving without buying anything. The security camera was pointing exactly at my table, but when I asked the male staff to check it, he coldly refused and said it was “not allowed.” He didn’t care at all. The female staff member was at least kind enough to help call the police. But the police in San Giovanni were just as useless – they didn’t take me seriously and even made sarcastic remarks. If the cameras are not used during a theft, what are they even for? I will never return to Italy again. Stay away from this café – no security, no help, no responsibility.

Best gelato I’ve indulged in, mega generous portions and good value and quality. Obsessed with the molten chocolate and whip cream options, and the staff are kind enough to suggest flavor combinations and advise on choices. Will be back for the mug desserts!

Very delicious ice cream and reasonable prices! The place is clean and spatious and offers different types of beverages and crepes.

I know la Romana from other Italian cities - it is a quality one can trust. It is in our first three favorite Rome ice cream places. It is slightly more expensive, but on the other hand it offers plenty of space to sit down in a cafe-like setting. I really like that they fill the cone out with chocolate!

An amazing gelato experience! Velvety and thick with a multitude of flavours to satisfy any palate. One of the few places in Rome where one can find a table to enjoy your gelato as well. The service was friendly and the server explained to us, in English, what some of the flavours were. La Romana has a few other branches in Rome but since this was away from the popular tourist spots it was a bit less crowded.

The most amazing gelato I have had in Rome. The flavour “crème” was heavenly. The ice cream is super smooth and creamy, you can tell it’s freshly made. There is usually a queque as we went here 3 times during our stay, but it passes by quickly. Recommended.

One of my favorite ice cream in the city! For more than 3 years I’m going to Romana and it is always delicious 🤤 This is a new location for me and it’s very nice and quiet. They have new flavor which became my favorite: Salted Caramel. Super cool 😎

The most delicious ice cream in my life. Also polite staff, the place is very clean, I will definitely come back here! Grazie!
