We were drawn in by the beautiful bakery and gelato displays (plus AC!). We ended up ordering pastas and gelato Lasagna: beef, so delicious 5/5 stars. The tomato sauce was perfect! This actually was my husband's dish but I kept stealing some because it was so good Cacio de pepe: this is what I actually ordered. The pasta noodle itself was great, a nice al dente texture which is what I prefer, the cheese sauce good at first but very salty. I ended up scraping off most of the cheese and fishing out the noodles. This might be my fault though for ordering Cacio de pepe which is cheese and pepper sauce. 3.5/5 Gelato: little subpar 2-3/5. The menu listed a lot of flavors which looked exciting but some were missing. For the size small you get to pick a trio of flavors--we ended up picking chocolate, mango, and mixed berry. Not as good as ones we've had elsewhere, maybe not as creamy? Overall I still did like the pastas though hence the 4/5 rating. They did have a restroom inside which I appreciated plus working air conditioning! Which was very pleasant in this 90 degree weather! read more

White Cafe - Maritozzo - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

Nice cafe we found while walking around Rome, They serve all kinds of coffee/ drinks , a small selection of gelato, and baked goods. What caught our eyes were the baked goods. Customer service wasn't the best, the gentleman was trying to rush us along because there was a group of young ladies next in line and he just kept staring at them , like we were invisible. We had ordered 2 of each flavor of the items I took a picture of, we first thought they were different kind of cannolis, that's what they looked like, but when we were ready for a snack late at night in our hotel, not one of them were filled with cannoli cream , they were filled with different flavor more like butter creams. Very sweet to my taste. There windows draw you in, but the taste and service wasn't worth the stop or money. read more

Francisco and his colleague were very funny. Francisco was an excellent server who took care of us, each request. We went back 3x for brunch on our trip because of the service, delicious food and drinks! Highly recommend! read more

White Cafe - White's Margarita pizza is delicious! I can't wait to go back again. Thank you. - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

White Cafe draws you in with their pretty pastries but the customer is sorely lacking! They will get your order wrong and refuse to correct it. The customer is not always right here. Buyer beware and go somewhere else. read more

Great! We were looking for a café on day four in Rome, when we come across white Café. I got a chamomile tea, which was good and we also had chocolate croissants. Those chocolate croissants were really good! I also got a gelato with dark chocolate and Nutella And it was the best gelato I have had on this trip! Everyone was nice and the lighting was really cool too. If you're in this area, I would definitely suggest white cafe! read more

I believe this is the owner. He clearly hates Americans! He was rude and mean. The server was very kind and we felt bad that he has to work at a place like that. read more

It's not the greatest. My gnocchi was full of oil. The flavor was okay. I would compare it to a low end Olive Garden. We stopped here because we had a long day and this is the first food place we saw. Don't make that mistake. Italy has amazing food but this ain't it. read more

Went to this restaurant twice on the way back to my hotel from the Trevi area. I had the same waiter both times and he was working really hard and was beyond awesome. I highly recommend their Carbonara which was great. They also had a great authentic tiramisu. They accept American credit cards so that helps when traveling. The service is quick and they have a lot of items to choose from. I didn't get a chance to try their gelato, but I will next time I visit! read more

First of all, they misunderstood my order, and gave me two small and two medium ice cream instead of three small and two medium ice creams. Secondly, they shouted at us, under aged children, and they requested to talk to our parents as they do not speak a sufficient amount of English, even though they're located in a touristic area. Additionally, the ice cream isn't even that good, at least for the price they sell it for. Also, the price is different when you eat out and when you eat in, and ev if you order something else as well, you still have to pay the higher price. Additionally, we were kicked out of the store, and we're not given all the ice cream that we paid for until we argued back. Overall, the experience was terrible and utterly ridiculous and the ice cream was bad for a high price. I will never go back again. read more

Right in front of this shop is where I caught my Mr. Mime. Yes I'm doing pokemon while in Rome and I don't care what you think. I just came from the Colloseum to look at history and such. It's amazing,, there's a gym there and a ton of pokestops. Anyways,, this isn't about me playing pokemon or the Colloseum. This is about the restaurant. Located at an incline, the outside tables are a bit awkward but idc. I'm here to try out cacio e peppe for the first time in my life. I heard Anthony Bourdain had it here in Rome, so why not. The dish is very cheesy,, and yes probably isn't the healthiest in the world. But the one I had here is pretty good. Please note that you have to eat this right away when hot because the cheeses that make up this dish starts hardening right away. I didn't get much of the essence of the pepper, but this is pretty much my very first time eating it so I wouldn't even know. All I know is that the service was good, the food was yummy and I had a great time having a quick quick dindin. Great experience,, thank you! Thank you for reading my review,, enjoy your yelptastic day!! read more

Stopped in for gelato our last night in Rome after having a delicious dinner down the street. Very friendly waiter helped us pick a pastry and flavors. My husband is lactose sensitive so we got a berry sorbet and I had Bacio ( Baci chocolate flavor, which I love). He then got us a cannoli with lighter dough, more like a croissant, with chocolate hazelnut filling-to die for. At that point my husband opted for a traditional cannoli to go ( lactose be damned!) which had the perfect orange essence on the ends and the shell lined with chocolate. We have had gelato all over Rome, in Florence, Croatia, Greece, and Malta in the last two weeks. The gelato here is delicious and worth the stop. We can't attest to their hot food or sandwiches. If you read some of the low ratings as I did, I think it's pretty obvious that to taste flavors over and over without intent to get something after 2, maybe 3, is rude-in America or abroad. If you aren't into it, walk 50 yards to the next shop and try theirs instead. In most large European cities, it is expected that you will be buying something if you sit at a table, even if it's just a coffee or a bottle of water. It is also polite to buy something if you intend to use the bathrooms. Be considerate of cultural norms before giving an establishment a poor rating. read more

We were a few minutes early for a tour that was supposed to start nearby so we just got lunch here out of desperate hunger. This is a combination gelato place and cafe and truly screams tourist trap. Don't think I saw any natives here at all. A tour guide told us to avoid any restaurant with photos of the food in the menu which are wise words to heed. Our chicken sandwiches tasted like they had been microwaved on stale buns. I'm surprised I ate as much of it as I did but it was pretty bad and expensive. The white wine I had was lousy with a high price tag as well. This place is to be avoided if you want any semblance of authentic cuisine read more

We were wandering around in Rome, looking for gelato for the kids and wine for us, when we stumbled on to White. Its bright, vibrant feel immediately attracted us to its doorway and fortune was smiling on us. This place is excellent! You can get everything from pizza, to espresso, to gelato, and all manner of adult beverages. The Boy, as we refer to him, decided to go all out and get a large gelato. As you can see from the picture I posted, it's quite the presentation...and quantity. The older boy chose a liter of beer (yes, he's old enough to do so) which was almost as big as his head. My espresso was delicious and can be purchased in small, medium, and "never go to sleep" sizes. All in all, we highly recommend this place! read more

White Cafe - He wanted a large, so... - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

Sleek white interior, an ordering system that is still hard to get used to (walk PAST the gelato to the back, pay first, THEN order), friendly service, and subpar gelato. I don't want to lie to you - I've been eating some gelato lately. And by some I mean "a serving a day for the past week" and this was just not as rich and creamy as any other spot I stopped into. read more

Went here on Tuesday night around 7pm. Not really a busy night. My family of four placed an order and sat down. The waiter was not nice at all. When our salad came he was not around and I waited. After about 5 minutes I then asked the men serving gelato (who were pleasant and accommodating) for oil. The waiter then got annoyed with me and practically yelled at me to ask him and not the men behind the counter. He then continued to tell me they are only to order ice cream. He was extremely RUDE and nasty. I would NEVER come back there. Being that this is near town, popular area I was surprised at the lack of service....especially since I paid $32 for 2 small bland salads and a panini and 1 ice tea. Go somewhere else! You have many other better choices!! read more

We didn't try the food here, but we did have Gelato. Let me tell you, we are on a Gelato mission on this trip. We had it 5 times so far and white cafe is the best Gelato we had so far. The small Gelato is 6 eu and it came with 3 scoops! This is actually the only place where we finished the entire serving of Gelato and probably would have gone for more. Things I didn't like: it you do a take out, you have to pay first then order. If you eat it there, you pay a cover/service fee. Ours was $2.4 EU for 4 people...so not bad, but didn't think it was needed. read more

Oh wow, really hate to do this but you guys should know to stay away. Food looked great, packed with people, friendly service, what could go wrong? The taste. Truly the worst I've EVER had in my decades of eating. It's convenient, on the way to Trevi Fountain from the Metro. Lots of foot traffic equals a lot of unsuspecting tourists -me included. So sad. So much potential. Hope they hire someone new to change the place around. Would you believe I threw ice cream away? None of my friends or family would believe it. I've been known to eat so-so ice cream before just to get my sugar fix. This was a cross between air fluffed Carnation ice cream from the U.S. and sticky non-descript tasting goo. SHAKING MY HEAD!! Sigh. read more

Review is for take-away gelato (did not eat there) Great gelato, made even better by the gelato guy Magid - he made our night great! read more

Tourist trap. This place is definitely targeted towards tourists. The portions are way bigger (USA size), but the quality is not nearly as tasty as other places in Rome. Do not go here unless you are super hungry and don't care about what you eat. read more

The staff was friendly, food not too bad - nothing special. The service was fast, has wifi and located close by to Barberini subway station.

Definitely felt some discrimination in this place. We were tasting several of the flavors - after having visited earlier and saying we would be back- and after tasting about 3 maybe 4 (max of about 20) flavors they said we needed to pay before we could taste anymore. We should have left then but decided to get 1 medium cup instead of 2... after purchasing, they would not let my disabled US Army veteran husband who was walking eith a cane and knee braces sit down for a moment to get himself together before leaving.... would not visit ever again, get your Gelato elsewhere read more

My family and I have been here for dinner and dessert twice in three days already. We love it!! We really recommend it.

oh boy, i just don't get the disrespect from this place! i'm trying out flavors, trying my best to be polite from all the noise outside and the gelato scooper has the nerve to tell me "please" after i ask for every flavor, insisting that i must say please after every flavor i ask for. who does that? if you're trying to earn my money, then work for it. you don't need to ask for my respect if you earn it. i really just don't get it. read more

I'm just having a day full of some bull shit ever and prices. How is it that the price for a small ice cream doubles when you sit on the table. Tastes likeum....not gelato. read more

Best gelato we've had in Rome so far. We keep telling ourselves that we need to be adventurous and try new places but we find ourselves just wanting to come back to this gelato heaven. Will make at least one more visit during our time in Rome for sure! read more
