Venchi Cioccolato e Gelato, Roma Via della Croce, Piazza di Spagna

This gelato spot is famous for a reason and doesn't disappoint! You are able to sample as many flavors as you want but they wanted us to pay for our ice cream first. The small has 2 flavors, medium up to 3, and grande up to 4. The chocolate and nuts are an additional charge. We ended up getting the cremino, cappuccino, dark chocolate, and pistachio. Every flavor was so good and complimented each other. Definitely recommend!

Stumbled upon this chocolate spot as a recommendation from a friend. There are so many chocolates to choose from and wide variety of flavors. Chocolates were really delicious!!! They have gelato as well. Maria welcomed us and gave great suggestions on which chocolates to choose from and the best sellers in store. She also assisted us on deals that were going on. Thank you Maria for all your help!

Store was overwhelming at first with so many different kinds of chocolates and the gelato section! My friend and I were looking at chocolates to bring home and couldn’t decide! Maria, one of the staff members, was so kind and helpful in instructing us how we can choose any chocolates and recommended the cremini and pistachio chocolates. She was kind enough the hold any of our purchases we couldn’t hold at the counter until check out and kept checking in on us! She was very welcoming and hands on and made the process so smooth!

In every visit to Italy, there's one sacred obligation: gelato. But there's gelato, and then there's Venchi. This Italian chain, which began its journey back in 1878 in Turin, has become synonymous with uncompromising quality in both chocolate and gelato. ​During my trip to Rome, I had to stop by one of their amazing branches (I visited the one near the Pantheon/Spanish Steps). The experience starts even before the first bite: display cases overflowing with glossy chocolates, fresh gelato made daily, and most importantly – a cascading chocolate waterfall that flows down the wall (you can even ask them to fill the bottom of your cone with it!). ​Venchi's gelato is something else entirely. It’s free from artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives, and this is evident in the rich, natural flavors, especially in their chocolate varieties and the use of premium Piedmont Hazelnuts and Bronte Pistachios. ​In summary: If you are looking for the ultimate indulgence in Rome, this is the place. I highly recommend trying their classic flavors like "Cremino" (milk chocolate and hazelnut) or "Cuor di Cacao" (intense dark chocolate). Guaranteed pleasure!

The Gelato was absolutely amazing! They have an impressive selection of both unique and classic gelato flavors, making it hard to choose just one. The presentation was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful in guiding flavor choices. Definitely worth a visit if you love high-quality gelato!

The Gelato Shake was absolutely amazing! They offer an impressive selection of unique and classic gelato flavors, which makes it hard to choose just one. I decided to go with the olive oil and Piedmont hazelnut, topped with whipped cream, and it was a perfect combination. The olive oil added a smooth, delicate flavor that paired so well with the rich and nutty hazelnut. The presentation was great, and the service was friendly and helpful when it came to choosing flavors. Definitely worth a visit if you love high-quality gelato! Also don’t forget to get some chocolates home!

Chocolate heaven! Every piece we tried was absolutely delicious, but the pistachio cream is on another level, seriously from another world. The ice cream is also really good and worth a try. On top of that, the service is so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even sweeter. If you love sweets, this place is a must. Super recommended!

The gelato at Venchi was absolutely incredible! I was born in Italy but now live in London, and the richness of flavour in the strawberry and lemon gelato instantly took me back to my childhood here. I’ve never been able to find this level of freshness and taste in the UK – only in Italy. The store itself is stunning, with a beautiful display, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. If you’re visiting on a really hot day, I’d definitely recommend trying something non-milky or chocolatey, like the fruit flavours or even a strawberry and lemon granita – absolutely refreshing and full of flavour.
