Grazie, best ice cream yet and we’ve been to some good ones this past week. We tried the cucurucho- pistachio, nutella and dulce de leche. Great friendly patient service from Sebastian. All smiles and he also helped us understand without us feeling rushed. Kindness does not discriminate with what language you speak. Thank you

AMAZING. SIMPLY AMAZING! The owner Sebastian is great and funny too. I stopped in Italy for a bit for a pilgrimage and was surprised to see this place! Pope Francis has visited and also they have vegan and dairy free options. I recommend it so much! Delicious! Buonissimo. And just €3 for a small. Come stop by!

Stopped by late in the evening on a very hot day. The very kind gentlemen only spoke just a little English (like my little bit of Italian) but we were able to order just fine. The Gelato was fabulous. We each got a different flavor and all agreed that the pistachios was the best. Not that any of them were bad.

Such an amazing and delicious gelateria! Out of all the places I tried, this one is by far the best! Went here quite a few times during my trip to Roma. All the flavors are top tier. My favorites are mango, pistachio, and dulce de leche. A quick fun fact, this was Papa Francesco’s favorite gelateria. Also, the owner is super sweet and friendly, grazie mille Signor Padrón!

Hands-down the Best Gelato I’ve Had in All of Europe I’m an ice cream fanatic, and I don’t say this lightly: this is the best gelato I’ve had anywhere in Europe. The texture is insanely smooth, the flavors are bold without being sugary, and you can actually taste the quality in every single bite. You know a place is special when you take one spoonful and immediately think, “Yeah… nobody else is doing it like this.” The staff was friendly, portions were generous, and the whole vibe just feels authentic—no tourist-trap energy, just genuinely elite gelato made by people who care about their craft.

One of the best ice creams in Rome. Our family took - stracciatella, choco with mint, mascarpone with cacao, dulce lecce, mango and strawberry — all favours were great!
