We have been several times, 1st time I had on a tank top, wanted me to put on a covering My daughter and her boyfriend stayed and brought me a gelato. The rules are on the sign when you walk up. No cellphone!! How refreshing. You don't need to talk, text or take pictures, just enjoy the beautiful atmosphere and best gelato ever. We have had the Flatbread sandwich, several of their own roasted coffees, espresso, americano which is modestly priced, why do people go to Starbucks and pay all that $$. The gelato is the best ever, ricotta gelato who would have thought. I have paired it with pistachio and lemon 🥰 They also have sorbets. Wonderful music playing, beautiful buildings and outside areas. You can also go in the one building if too hot outside. If your offended by not having your cellphone at an establishment just think how many people you offend daily by using your cellphone at restaurants, stores etc. Why should strangers be subjected to your convenience and conversations 🤔
Gelato is very good but not worth the rude staff and inconsistency in which they apply the rules.

Love it. Gelato is 10/10. Tastes authentic to Italian gelato.
The grounds are amazing and the staff is nice. It is a no phone experience which I had to come around to but I get why after being there. It’s a nice place to hang out and I think they’re trying to promote the social aspect of enjoying gelato with friends.

Best gelato this side of Italy! Nice, relaxing atmosphere too. This is THE place to go if you want real espresso drinks or gelato made the Italian way.

Knowing the controversy about this place, I had to come check it out for myself. All I can say is that it truly was a 5 star experience. Truly the best sorbet I have had in a long long time (and huge portions, you can easily share 6oz between two adults). The espresso was phenomenal as well. The bathroom was the cleanest public restroom I have ever been in.If you are vegan/dairy free, they have oatmilk (oatly) for coffee, and several flavors of fruit sorbet. The lovely gentleman serving gelato this morning informed me that the dark chocolate gelato in the case is actually dairy free chocolate sorbet. It is divine. Try mixing the orange and chocolate flavors together :)

So many flavors to choose from, absolutely delicious and very generous servings. We went twice during our three day stay.

Good gelato, I had visit in many occasion the original place on the Vatican and the one on the Trastevere. The flavors and quality are the same. The only issue is that is hard to find the first time. And parking can be and issue because is not close to the place.
This gelateria does not seem to have old bridges, though it does have some newer walkways and a new wood lodge. Other interesting quirks would probably have made a better name. I also would like to see and hear more Italian music, art, dance, literature, and religion.
Their rules are strict, but the gelato is very good. They also have gluten and dairy free options, and a little sand pit for kids to play in.
Heavenly ambiance!
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food as a meal or charcuterie board
