Gelateria La Romana dal 1947

Gelateria La Romana dal 1947 is the ultimate place to have the best gelato experience!! There are a couple of locations in Rome, but this one in Magna Grecia is the one our party of 4 visited for the first time. It was everything we wanted and needed to end our packed day of sightseeing, which included visiting two of the churches in our 2025 Jubilee Holy Door Pilgrimage — St. Paul Outside The Walls and St. Mary Major. Two beautiful churches that should be on every visitor’s list. St. John in Lateran was just as spectacular the night before, and St. Peter’s in the Vatican was going to be our last one the next day. We passed up many gelaterias throughout the day, since all of them didn’t have the proper storage of gelato. Please do not settle for subpar gelato that’s displayed openly in the case. High quality gelato should be stored in the stainless steel containers with a lid. Good gelato has muted colors, and those with vibrant colors have artificial ingredients to appeal to your eyes. For example, pistachio shouldn’t be bright green. We have our server, Simoné to thank. at Le Foodie Cafe Bistro nearby, who highly recommended this gelateria. After an excellent meal, off we went into the cold December night. As soon as we stepped into this cozy shop, nicely decorated for Christmas, we knew we found the best place. They offer crepes also, and the aroma was inviting. Yet we were full from dinner and were focused on gelato. Paolo greeted us warmly. He was very friendly and attentive. He offered us samples, but we all knew what we wanted after looking at their extensive variety. We were eager for the main event — sitting down to savor every moment. We opted for 4 flavors, and at 5 euros each, that was quite a bargain. My very full cup had pistachio, zabaione, stracciatella, and hazelnut combination with fresh whipped cream made in house, and a crunchy cookie topper. It was the absolute perfect ending to a glorious day in Rome! We already miss it, and we are looking forward to our next visit to Gelateria La Romana dal 1947! Thank you to Paolo and his colleague for making our trip so special!! Best wishes and continued success to them!

Five stars as it is! Truly convinced we found the best gelato in town! The display looked so appealing as soon as we arrived we just wanted to try everything, even after being stuffed from dinner.

If you’re looking for a picture perfect escape, this is the place to be! The canal bank offers breathtaking bridge views and the true charm of the Venice Canal. Surrounded by cozy restaurants and amazing food, it’s the perfect spot to relax, dine, and enjoy the magical ambiance.

Gelato was really silky and smooth. There were some Netflix collaboration flavors available but we went with Coffee and Hazelnut for one and the seasonal Pumpkin and Crema 1947.

The best, the greatest, the tastiest, the most generous gelato I ever had!!!! How could I ever eat an ice cream after that. They melt chocolate at the bottom to appraciate the cone even more!!! I need to have that in Paris. Please!!!!

Best Gelato you will have in Rome! You cannot miss this spot! It will have the most exciting flavors, and very rich! It may look very "American" inside, but very they have people dedicated solely to making the gelato. Added bonus is that it is the best price to portion you will find.

Such a great experience! Big thanks to Alissa, who was so passionate and really helped me choose the best ones. Highly recommended!

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!
