Many branches in rome

yummy vegan options (all sorbets of course, as well as pistacchio, dark choc and hazelnut), the both rice-milk based nut-options were very enjoyable.
Unfortunately not more vegan options. Pistacchio and hazelnut vegan are very common in Italy.

Decent gelato

I always appreciate some non-dairy milk-based gelatos so The Gelatist was a treat in Rome! I had the pistachio gelato and really enjoyed it.

Not All Cones Are Made Equal

Cone over tub, it’s never really a debate in my mind as why pay the same for a vessel you can’t eat? However, when the cone in question can only accommodate two scoops, this rationale has to abandoned. So to the tub it was, and while it was a very healthy (or not) portion of ice cream, it was all rather lacklustre. The best of an average bunch was the dark chocolate as it had a rich depth to it, but the others couldn’t quite contend with it. The hazelnut and the pistachio were great in texture, velvety and creamy, but only had whispers of the flavours they were mean to convey, while the other chocolate may as well have not been there. Enjoyable (it was ice cream, after all), but not repeatable.

Vegan gelato and sorbets

Offers rice-milk based gelato - there was pistachio, hazelnut and chocolate when I visited. Also a huge range of vegan sorbets - including lemon, melon, apple & cinnamon. Pay at the till and take your receipt to the server to select your flavours.

Pros: Offers vegan gelato as well as sorbet, Bright and spacious store

Cons: We’d always love more vegan options

Good gelato for fair prices

They have a good selection of fruit as well as „milk“ ice in vegan, such as a hazelnut icecream made with rice milk. It does depend on the size of the store though, we went to several locations and not all had such a good selection. The gelato was very delicious and the small portion size was already pretty big and only cost 3€!

Pros: Flavor , Price

Nice gelato with a few nice options

The ice cream was great! I would have loved a couple more options that are not fruit ice cream (in Italy, those are almost always vegan) but the quality was really good!

Lots of vegan options

The shop had lots of vegan options, mostly sorbet, but also a few ice cream flavors including pistachio which looked amazing. I got one scoop each of the strawberry and banana sorbet which were both really good. My husband got the lemon sorbet and he also enjoyed it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fairly priced

Flavourful, not just sorbet

Went to the gelatist every say we were here! I love pistachio ice cream so much but hadn’t had it as a vegan and it was so good. Lots of non-sorbet options and even the fruit ice creams are so good and creamy and there are about 15 or so vegan flavours.

Pros: So many options , Not just sorbet , Cheap!

Super yummy!

I was planning to go to a different gelateria which happened to be closed, so I quickly scanned for an alternative and found this place and went without many expectations. It turned out great though! The rice-milked based flavours are tasty and the ice cream is very creamy and delicious. They had many vegan options (not only sorbets). Definitely would go again!

My first vegan gelato!

I might be biased since I’m a solid tourist, but I loved the vegan gelato! My sister went on a food tour and said one way to tell if the gelato is good, is by the color of the pistachio, and this pistachio flavor looked great (also vegan option). All rice milk based. I came back to eat here every night in Rome.

Pros: 40%vegan flavors 60%not vegan, More vegan options than just fruit flavors, 3 flavors in one
