The cream that they put on top of the gelato is the icing on the cake. The line moved quick they have an amazing system in place and the service was great. I think about this place often. The vintage ambiance was amazing you can tell there is history there. I think of Giolitti often I can't wait till I'm back in Rome so I can have it again!

Amazing!!!! Wanted to update with pictures because it's simply delicious and we truly miss the…read moreambiance.

My husband and I had dinner at a pizza spot adjacent to Frigidarium, so we couldn't help stop by…read morefor dessert. I remembered it also being highly recommended to me by one of my friends. Frigidarium had a small storefront with room for a few guests at a time. Our timing was lucky, because we had arrived ahead of a big crowd. When I ordered and looked over my shoulder I saw that the line was snaking around the corner. Service was fast though, so people were in and out considerably quickly. I ordered the Frigidarium flavor and one that looked like a berry vanilla swirl with chocolate bits. I'm sure my mouth dropped when they asked if I wanted white chocolate, milk chocolate, or whipped cream at no additional charge. Based on the flavor palate I got white chocolate that becomes a hard shell when poured on. Loved everything about my gelato. I enjoyed both flavors with the white chocolate, and I got a bonus chocolate cookie from the Frigidarium flavor.

They have some of the best gelato. A small dipped cone or cup with 2 flavors is only 3 Euros. The…read moreline may be long but moves quickly. Worth the wait.

Then, we came here for dessert. This gelato was sooooooooo good! And the gentleman at the register was so sweet. He didn't speak much English, but he did his best and was very patient with us. I got the regular vanilla gelato dipped in white chocolate and was in heaven. It was a really hot day and we got the gelato in I cream stick form so things got a little messy, but so worth it! I'd definitely come back here, and they have free wifi :)

Unfortunately, the three or four times I have tried it, I have been underwhelmed. Most egregiously, this is one of the few places in Rome I have ever been served by someone who has forgotten what it means to be hospitable. If you like your gelato with a side of bad attitude, come here. On top of that, flavors are too strong, the gelato lacks richness, and it melts immediately - not kept at cold enough temperature? Better off walking a little further to Otaleg - I found it far more satisfying.

Legendary Roman Ice Cream…read more * * * La Romana has been around since 1947. That does not make it the oldest gelateria by a long shot. But 1947 puts La Romana in the "senior class" for sure. That means almost 50 years of driving thousands of people insane with pleasure from utterly amazing ice cream. That is a good way to spend 50 years. * * * Most Italian Gelato places are very consistent. If one flavor is good, they all are good. If one flavor is fake or artificial, they all are fake and artificial. That said - despite La Romana's full range, The establishment is known for one distinctive flavor that is very much their signature. Crema dal 1947. Crema dal 1947 is absolutely and utterly insane. It is an eggnog custard gelato subtly flavored with lemon zest. It is the most creamy dreamy lemon cloud dessert every made by any human being. Just to get an appropriate placement within the lemon family, I paired it with a plain lemon gelato. Rome has absolutely amazing lemons. Plain lemon gelato almost anywhere is die-and-go-to-heaven good. Putting eggnog custard creamy dream Crema dal 1947 With bracing in-your-face screaming lemon-lemon-lemon traditional gelato Was like pairing Margot Robbie as Barbie with Amy Winehouse singing her soul out. Both were absolutely perfect for what they are. I want to have that ice cream cone tonight, tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that and every other consecutive day for the next consecutive 50 years. When La Romana becomes 100 years old, I can think about changing flavors. But it is hard to argue with perfect perfection.
