Gelato was one of the best we had! Great selection of flavors. Super creamy gelato! Cute place.
OMG is this the best vegan / dairy-free chocolate gelato in the world?!? I absolutely adore that Venchi has an entire vegan section, and their gelato is so, so tasty. They even put a little (also vegan) chocolate atop each cup or cone. I especially adore (DF) dark chocolate ice cream, and theirs is the best I've ever had by a mile. They also have a great mango gelato that's DF. Venchi is a chain, they have a bunch of locations around Rome; this one is super close to the Pantheon and ideal for getting a cone to stroll around the best walking area in Rome. Service was fast and friendly, and while they don't really have much seating, the location makes up for that!
Venchi is noticeably the luxury gelato chain, but their gelato does the talking. Everyone is so friendly even though this is a very touristy location. Loved that they had chocolate (would be great as a gift) and a ton of flavors, I wasn't sure what to choose. Got the piccolo (small) that comes with 2 scoops, hazelnut and the tiramisu flavors with a free "chocolate" on top -- you're free to sample as well. Super creamy and so delicious, got gelato almost every night
11/10 chocolate crepe - better crepe than that actual Creperia I went to later on during my trip. I took mine to go and enjoyed exploring w a lil treat.
Gelato here is very good. I got coconut, strawberry, and mango. Strawberry and mango were the best by far. If you go with the fruit flavored ones, it's more like an Italian ice which is really nice. Good place but not worth waiting because there's lots of other good places to.
I was visiting Rome on a school trip with 7 hangry kids. There was no better stop than Venchi's gelato shop. There wasn't a line when we walked in and they were quick to serve. Everyone enjoyed their gelato selection. I got a small tiramisu and it was delicious!
Venchi is a great place to stop and get gelato and souvenirs. It isn't the best gelato I've ever had but it is still very good, I actually like their chocolate a bit better than the gelato. In the chocolate/candy side of the store they have great prepacked tins to take home and give as souvenirs. Service at this store was very good and the staff was very friendly. We went around 9 pm and there wasn't a line so we were in and out very quick as well. There isn't any seating though so if you are looking to sit after you get gelato this might not be the best place for you.
best gelato I had in rome and maybe italy! (and tried plenty lol) their chocolates/chocolate bars are also delicious! just seemed like good, high quality ingredients and chocolate.
Well, its heaven for chocolate lovers. Its more of a gelato shop but you can buy their products too. We have tried Venchi in NYC but of course, taste in Rome was much better. My wife particularly screaming like kids. She was so happy. We had gelato, bought some chocolates for home. There was chocolate fountain behind the counter and it looks so fascinating. I always found the line but the good part is it keeps moving. The flavors are mostly centered around chocolate and creams but they do still offer fruit flavors. Prices- No more expensive than anywhere else Venchi has been in business since 1878 selling the finest chocolates and confections. They have stores all over the world Well you have to go. Just go...
Fun atmosphere. Recommended from a friend. Very very good gelato. Definitely worth the stop! Love that they have melted chocolate on the cups!!
Don't miss this supreme gelato and hand crafted chocolate venue. There are several locations in Roma and also at the airport. Fabulous!
This little cute shop is located in the little alley between the Trevi fountain and the Pantheon. They have decent gelato. Their sorbet shake with whipped cream is the best. Ive never tried the whipped cream like that before and I was impressed. It wasn't too sweet and caused bloated. I've haven't tried the chocolate, but it looks like they are specialized in chocolate with a lot of options
So many good allergen friendly options. Some of the friendliest staff as well. The line was long but service was so fast.
I think one of the best ways to end a day in Italy is to have gelato. On our way to our hotel we came across Venchi. From the outside it looked more like a jewelry store than a gelato shop, but it does gelato and chocolate. We stopped in. I'm normally a cup guy but there was some reason that I now don't recall where I ended up with a two flavor cone. The appearance of the gelato balanced on the cone stunning, I may have seen others and knew I had to have one. read more
Gelato! We love the gelato at Venchi - we've visited several outlets now and it's consistenly high quality. The flavours are delicious and the rich creamy texture is heavenly!! At €4.80 for a medium cone, it's a little more expensive than the other gelaterias but it's worth it! read more

Talk about decadent! A cone dipped in chocolate and covered with chocolate caviar! The cone pictured is a large with 3 flavors. Comes with a delicious piece of dark chocolate too! The line moves quickly and is worth the wait. They also sell artisan chocolate. read more

A great gelato place! There's always a line to wait for. The inside is gorgeous with lots of chocolate decorations and has the classic chocolate wall. I got the stracciatella and chocolate gelato on a cone and it was so good. One of the best gelatos I had! read more

Best chocolate in Rome , my kids love this chocolate especially milk chocolate. The staff are friendly . Their chocolates are the best ! I highly recommend to friends and family read more
Want your last fix of gelato before leaving Italy? Stop by the Venchi chain gelato in the airport. Reasonable pricing for airport with a variety of flavor offerings. The Venchi stores in Rome and around Italy have a chocolate fountain wall (smells sooo chocolaty..yumm) this place is a must check out place if you're a chocolate conosoussirer read more
Prettiest and my most favorite gelato place I've been to in Rome! They have a few locations in Rome that are conveniently located near hot spots. The line gets long, but moves fairly quickly. You can use it as an opportunity to decide on what you'd like to order. I opted for the nutty/chocolatey flavors, as I'm not a fruity/sorbet person. Their gelato comes with a cup, cone or pay extra for a chocolate cone. The flavors I chose were pistachio, stracciatella and chocolate. So creamy and perfect on a hot and humid day. My favorite was the stracciatella, and the pistachio and chocolate paired so well with it. They also sell chocolates, which were delicious. All in all, pricey, but worth it. read more
Wow this is like walking into chocolate and Gelato heaven. It a feast for the eyes. They are very famous for their fine chocolates and it smells so good inside. The gelato is just rich and beautiful and the colors are so vivid. We started with a chocolate with whipped cream on the top and a big vanilla. I had a pistachio before which was crazy good. If you want to take fine chocolates home with you this is the shop to buy them in. They are always busy but it's worth the wait. It's a feast for the tastebuds. read more
Gelato + Pantheon. Set the stage for this Roman battle steps away from the Pantheon. Pro tip, they are a chocolatier, so be sure to choose something that is chocolate-y. They have gelato but also a wide assortment of chocolates as well. Nice setup. read more
How tasty!!! Venchi! Venchi!! How tasty!! Not that you need more sweetness or tastiness in Rome! Venchi do them all! Kitty corner from pantheon is this shiny bright new beaming choclati shop. And it's not just a chocolate shop. They have gelato, breakfast! Truffles!! So on!! Their chocolates are delicious and aesthetically so appealing! Even the gelatos are too. I like the truffles!! The Italian style!! So Italian style chocolate: hazelnuts from Perugia!! Pistachio from Sicily, and laguria's olive oil! Not just milk and butter. It tastes so much better too!! Overall, there are venchi everywhere (Italy that is)! And I enjoy them!! This ones the most because of the location! read more

Gelato was so good that we didn't order dessert at dinner so that we could savor Venchi (yep, 5 nights of Venchi). Yes you are paying slightly more then the corner gelato shop but it is sOoOo worth it! Venchi is a little taste of heaven on a chocolate dipped cone! The Cremino and chocolate were my faves!! And the service was always great! The picture of my 1.5 year-old son and 69 year-old Dad say it all! #VenchiFans read more
Ohmygosh. Venchi has the BEST chocolate gelato ever. I'm serious. Our tour guide had told us that Venchi made, specifically, the best chocolate gelato of anywhere in Roma. Lady wasn't lying... it was certainly the best chocolate gelato I had on our trip. Smooth, creamy, bursting w/ cocoa. I paired it with a scoop of hazelnut - spettacolare! Had I known it was going to be so good I would have gotten a larger size cone. Ordering is easy - we told the cashier what cup/cone size we wanted, paid and were handed a ticket. Once you've decided on your flavors - hand your ticket to a scooper and enjoy! The ladies behind the counter were the sweetest and while the place was packed they moved quickly. They've also got chocolates and other desserts if gelato isn't your thing... but you'd be crazy to go to Venchi and not order gelato! Sei pazzo! read more

This place has the best gelato I had ever tasted. I had a scoop of hazelnut gelato and a scoop of nougat. Both are subtle flavors so I recommend it if you don't like your desserts super sweet. The portions were huge and it comes with a wafer on top! You have to pay before you can order. It was a little confusing because everyone just stood around not knowing what to do. We waited in line to order for about five minutes before one of the workers told us that we had to pay first. read more
Well, it has been a year since I was last in Rome, and our first stop is Venchi. In this instance, it is the store on Via degli Orfani, near the Pantheon, and although I agree with the prevailing wisdom that nothing good can be found in touristy areas, Venchi is the exception to the rule. I really like Venchi -- great gelato, chocolate and a beautiful store. Stores, I should say. I have visited Venchi in Florence, Milan, Rome, and Venice, and all their stores have been beautiful. Their Pistachio gelato is better than most, Hazelnut is outstanding, and their Chocolate, oh their Chocolate, is supremely good. Top one or two gelateria, I would say, edging out Lindt in the chocolate category. I recommend Venchi whole heartedly. Four Stars. read more
Venchi definitely stands out as a gelato shop because of how fancy it looks. It's very clean, and the presentation is top notch. The gelato is also delicious, but not as good as some of the others I've had in Rome. I shared a cone with Pistachio, Giandujotto, and Stracciatella with two other people. These three scoops cost over €6! They are well known for their chocolate flavors, so those were obviously the best. Their gelato is very soft and creamy, so it'll melt quicker than most. I also put nuts on the cone, which was delicious. The downside to Venchi is that the price point is higher than other gelato stores. Since there are so many other, better gelato spots, Venchi just seems overpriced. read more
