I saw the sign from the main street and knew we had to try this place. Fresh and amazing flavors, we tried at least four of them and I stayed with the Mango Chamoy, go for it! Clean and organized space and location. Go for it! read more

Dolce Roma - Banana pudding - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

were looking for a creamy refresher after hours in the heat, and found it at dolce roma. lots of delicious sounding & looking gelato choices. i FINALLY choice - horchata and mango (2 flavor cup $6.50) weird pairing but they were both SO GOOD! they do ask you what flavor you want on top, so think about which flavor will melt a bit into & onto the other one - unless ya eat it FAST! hubbie had coffee - not my thing - strong coffee flavor, not much sweetness and amaretto; he liked both. not huge serving size, but the 2 scoop was the perfect size for an afternoon snack. casual spot with just a few inside tables, more outside. service was fast & friendly. store opens to souvenir shop, if you need some supplies! read more

We stopped in after a meal out. The service was very nice and quick. I got the birthday cake gelato and she got the banana pudding. The gelato was like the cooler weren't keeping it fully frozen. Definitely wasn't gelato, but tasted good. read more

I am 21 and have been coming to this place since I was 3. It is me and my family's favorite ice cream place and always the first stop when we come down to padre. They have so many different options of flavors and toppings. Birthday cake is my all time favorite flavor anywhere, but here it is the absolute best (they have real pieces of cake in it and the ice cream itself has a birthday cake flavor). My mom and grandma also adore the coconut almond flavor and my brother is obsessed with the frost flavor. Would recommend this place to anyone coming to padre. read more

No great options for ice cream on the island. This was our last best hope. We LOVE gelato and were hopeful, but they use low quality ingredients and while good gelato is very rich and creamy, this was ICY and flavors just ok. They do have a ton of flavors available (and some are very creative). With 5 people in our group I tried several flavors and the pistachio was my favorite and Nutella the runner up. Worst flavor award goes to piña colada. On a hot day if you are really craving ice cream this is an ok option. read more

Dolce Roma - Entrance - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Overpriced ice milk. Definitely terrible gelato. Flavors were bland and almost like freezer burned. Between the four of us we had 6 flavors. For a very small cup it was $4.89, a single flavor of gelato. The gal who served us didn't want to be there and didn't want any customers to deal with. Customer service wasn't there read more

Visited today on Saturday afternoon. The gelato is actually good . The service was very basic and all of the tables were not wiped down. I had to wipe down the table myself so my kiddos would be able to sit down and eat. Flavors we loved were mint chocolate chip and the cheesecakes flavors. The cookie dough was alright and the birthday cake was too sweet. read more

This is the best ice cream your gonna find on spi. It is homemade gelato. There are maybe 20 flavors. All that we tried was really tasty. They have friendly customer service, inside seating and a clean restroom. read more

Went and got the small size cappuccino gelato 4$ tasted great the service was pretty standard cute atmosphere

A decent place to get some ice cream. Good selection and good service. Just not super memorable in my opinion (C)

We went today for my birthday and the ice cream was super yummy and the root beer float was awesome.! Atmosphere was great and very friendly Service. read more

It's a bare bones shop but they have all you need and about 20-30 flavors to choose from. Along with the gelato you have options of coffee and smoothies. Very little seating inside decent amount outside. read more

Food is great - had banana pudding gelato. Super delicious. Staff were friendly. Ambiance is what you would expect for a gelato shop. read more

Dolce Roma - Banana pudding gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

The ice cream was amazing, my wife rated this place high due to the flavors and the ambience. This was a great treat in the evening after dinner. read more

just now NEW They have a 2 taste per person sign. Completely understand because most of the time they have crazy & unsupervised young tourists visiting their store, but we are a family (2 adults, 2 teenagers). I was not given the opportunity to try the gelato that I wanted. After my 2 tastes, I saw more flavors that interest me. I was denied to taste them. I was not about to buy gelato without tasting it from a place I've never been to. Better judgment from these people would've gotten them another sale. read more

Dolce Roma - a cup of ice cream with a purple stick sticking out of it - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Yum!! Super cute place with a lot of ice cream choices and amazing coffee! Built next door to a souvenir spot so shopping an ice cream/coffee! read more

Nothing like cooling off the summer heat with some iced cream! They have a selection of traditional flavors with a twist and some exotic flavors as well. You can choose from iced creams and gelatos to choose from. It's a cute ice cream shop right off the main boulevard, right across the street from Black Beards Restaurant. Excellent stop for a dessert after your meal, it has some nice tables outside to enjoy your ice cream up front in the open air. read more

Dolce Roma - Ice- cream kind of night! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Good stop for a cold dessert. Great assortment of flavors however popularity sometimes causes the most delicious ones to be gone early in the evening. Waffle cones and cups in assorted dips such as chocolate and confetti read more

Terribly disappointed. Tried several flavors and settled for two. Should have left. None of the four of us were thrilled.

We were looking for ice cream but lucked up and found Gelato. This place is yummy! The staff are friendly and warm. Taste samples are offered and the flavor selection is amazing! read more

It's a good thing this place has incredible gelato, because that's about the only thing going for it. The customer service is a 1 star, and the prices are high. Still, I went back today after enjoying the gelato two days ago and thinking it was worth it. Whhhyyyyy??? If you can make an amazing product, put the effort forth to do the customer service and like magic, people will love your establishment. read more

This review is purely for icecream Tried their birthday cake, chocolate and something else icecream, and one word - blah. My 2 year old ate hers cause she does know any better and my mom who absolutely loves sweets threw 80% of hers away. read more

They had some good ice cream. Nothing as extensive as the photos shown but I got the raspberry and mango they were both good. My only thing was, maybe it was me but the person taking our order seemed impatient while we were looking and getting samples. read more

Dolce Roma - two bowls of ice cream and a cell phone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Nice little gelato shop. Nothing bad, nothing great. If your looking for a light, after dinner dessert you won't be disappointed.

We loved the ice cream. Walking distance from our beach house so super convenient. Lots of flavors to choose from.

Ice cream came out melting and watered down, you could see the sirup sitting on the bottom of the ice cream, and customer service wasn't great. read more

The "gelato" was so incredibly icy and watered down that it made the texture and flavor terrible:( 17$ for two cones of horrible gelato was not a good look read more

This place was very busy and the staff was less then friendly and we left feeling we got ripped off the gelato was not good. $18 and change for 5 small cups of soft runny gelato. read more

My husband and I came here after dinner and we had a great experience! The gentleman that helped us was very friendly and let us try samples. My favorite was the tamarindo and the pineapple flavor and it was very creamy and had good flavor. We had ice cream at another place earlier that day on the island and that ice cream was a little more icy than creamy so we decided to give Dolce Roma a try and it did not disappoint. Glad we found Dolce Roma for a special treat on our vacation. read more

We recently spent 10 days in Italy and had gelato every day. So I had to get a gelato fix when I saw this place. Horrible idea on my part. It didn't taste like gelato. It didn't taste like ice cream. It didn't taste like frozen yogurt. It didn't taste flavorful. It had lousy texture and was pretty much the worst ice cream I've ever had. Skip it. There are no romantic memories of Italy gelato to be had there. read more

Pretty good gelato! Horchata was amazing, pina collada- mostly collada not much pineapple flavor. Strawberry was good. Cookies and cream was bland. Still worth a try because they have loads of flavors- but due to COVID 19 they were not doing samples. read more

The ice cream wasn't really gelato so I won't call it that, but it was decent ice cream. The workers let me sample a few different flavors and although I didn't really like any, I ended up getting a scoop because it felt rude not getting one. My biggest complaint isn't with the ice cream though, it's with the place. It was extremely hot in there, hot to the point where I was sweating and the ice cream was melting. I usually get a cold scoop of ice cream to save me from a hot summer day but this melting sweet cream did not do its job. read more

Dolce Roma - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Mehhh.... Well first of all it's NOT gelato at all. There are a variety of flavors and even though it says only two samples he let me have 5. I felt like after sampling that many I had to buy a scoop. 1 scoop was $3.50 and it was a pretty wimpy scoop. Look for a better place if there is one read more

Dolce Roma - Looks can be deceiving - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Padre Island, Texas

Was looking forward to eating here- up until I saw the adult server help herself to a sample of ice cream- then - using the same licked spoon- take another helping with the same spoon of another flavor! read more

We went there tonight since it is within walking distance from our condo. They had a nice selection of flavors but their freezers aren't working correctly and the gelato melted almost immediately. read more

A nice place for gelato, though nothing fancy. Very little seating inside or out. They do have coffee available here as well.

I came in here excited for some good ice cream and with full intention to buy a cup. There were a lot of good looking options. I tried two and there was one more I wanted to taste. The worker goes in a rude tone "you can only try one and I've let you try two". I feel like this is very uncalled for for an ice cream shop. Don't you want you customers to enjoy their ice cream rather than feel upset and unsure about which flavor they got? I will never come back here again as there are many other options on the island that I'm sure are more deserving of my business. read more

Great gelato ice cream. Friendly service and lots of choices. My favorite was the mango gelato.
