Yum yum

Delicious Italian gelato ✨ This particular store got six vegan gelatos: limon, dark chocolate, coconut, mango, banana, and strawberry. There is loads of other things to order such as drinks (smoothie?), pastries, cake, etc, but not sure if there is vegan alternatives to those.

Pros: Six flavours, Not too expensive

Cons: Popular ;)

Da assaggiare

Personale molto amichevole. Ho pagato 3 euro per il piccolo cono. Il gusto della banana è molto fresco e buono, si abbina molto bene con la cioccolata.

Very crowded for a good reason

Note that this place has locations around Rome! I went to the Viale Europa location, which is not on Happy Cow.

They have multiple flavors that are vegan but not every shop has every flavor every day. So you might get a completely different experience depending on what is available at that time. I had the single-origin Ecuador dark chocolate and it was GREAT.

Unfortunately the staff did not speak much English - and they were extremely busy, the line was out the door - so I could not find out if the "panna" (whipped topping) was vegan or not.

Many options

This gelateria has clearly labeled vegan options for gelato, as well as a few flavors of granita (Italian ice) which are also vegan. The vegan chocolate gelato is amazing, and the price is quite good. There are more options than just chocolate and fruit for vegan gelato. Most gelati here are gluten-free as well.

The granita is transcendent. We went to this gelateria twice a day every day we were in Rome.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good price

Great flavour and texture

I think is one of the best ice cream shop in Rome, the texture and creaminess of the gelato is amazing. The vegan options are not many unfortunately, and most of them are fruit flavours of course. The dark chocolate they put in the cone should be vegan, ask for it!

Pros: Good prices, Great ice cream, Vegan options clearly labeled

Cons: Not many options

Delicious ice cream

There were about 8 vegan flavours, I got a scoop each of chocolate and lemon and was in ice cream heaven!

Pros: Yummy vegan options, Friendly staff, €2.50 for two scoops is not bad!

Sweet treat

Really nice vibes with about 6 or so different vegan ice cream flavours to choose from. They weren’t written in English so we had to do some guess work on the flavours, but the staff were really friendly and helpful with making sure what we had was fully vegan. The chocolate one was dynamite.

Great vegan gelato

There were 8 vegan gelato options and we tried 6 - they were very yummy! Even the fruit flavours weren’t too “sorbet-y”, they were equally creamy and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful with vegan requirements. I asked if the cone was vegan and the server said yes, then asked if I wanted chocolate drizzled in it. After I said no (because I assumed it wasn’t vegan), she mentioned the one was vegan, so I ended up having it and it was so yummy! Would definitely go back. For two of us to have 3 flavours each we spent €6 - very reasonably priced!

Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Cheap , Good vegan options

Best icecream we had in Rome

Counted 7 vegan flavours. My favorites: dark chocolate, almond crunch and blueberry. Crowded with locals so I guess they think it's the beste icecream in Rome as well....
