Please be careful, they will rip you off if they notice you are a tourist!!!
It was my second visit (first was fine) but this time the young man who served us tonight totally ripped us off. I ordered one flavor on a cone and charged me € 4,50 (the size of a large with a recommended 3 flavors). I should have been charged for a small given the amount I received and the singular flavor. He did the same exact thing to my sister!
This is how I knew it was ultra shady, he rung us up and we paid. However! He did not give us a receipt, which is super illegal in Italy. 2 minutes later we returned and demanded the receipt and the woman who attended us gave us a horrified look. She asked if we had ordered smalls and the guy told her large and she looked at him puzzled.
The gelato is good here but if you must do not let the gentleman help you! He will try to rip you off! Go elsewhere to avoid problems.

Our favorite gelato place in Rome! We were visiting for four days and went here the last three (to be fair though, we went 2x in one day). Prices are a little more than other stores — but you absolutely get what you pay for. The gelato is just delicious, my favorite was the hazelnut and my husband loved their dark chocolate.

As I was reading travel blogs, this gelateria kept popping up so I figured I would have to try it before I left Italy. They have a great variety of chocolate bars, truffles and «make your own» bags of chocolate. They also have a very impressive variety of gelatos to choose from. I chose a small cup of the «mascarpone» flavor and I was slightly disappointed. I thought it would be more creamy but instead it tasted a little like a sorbet of some sort. The saving grace was the walnuts that were hidden throughout that I would find here and there. That was a nice bit of flavor when I wasn’t overly enjoying my gelato. If you are in need of chocolates, I would suggest stopping in but for gelato there are less touristy and much tastier options to choose from!

The best gelato in all of Italy! The ladies working the counter could have been a little friendlier, though. The gelato was super creamy, didn’t melt very fast but not overly sweet. I can’t quite remember the exact flavors we both got, but we agreed both flavors were amazing and decadent. Fair prices for the quality and size here. They have a huge assortment of gelatos and chocolates. And their shop is well lit, clean and adorable.
I did end up buying some chocolates while in Florence at one of their locations over there for some friends. They are pricey chocolates but heard they’re worth it.

This is the real deal. Skip the nasty tourist gelato shops in the Spanish steps area and go straight here. Delicious, creamery, inventive gelato and an amazing range of chocolate.

We agree with a lot of the reviews This was the best gelato in Italy. We probably had gelato at least 4 – 5 times at various places and this was hands down the best one. Funny thing, we found this shop at the airport just as we were leaving Rome. We also bought some other goodies and they were all great except for the chocolate orange cigar. It tasted a little funky when we tried it once we were back in US. Other than that no complains.

This was the best gelato in Italy. Period. It’s in a chocolate shop and a lot of the flavors tend to be in that vein. Try a cone. There isn’t a place to sit so plop down outside. Don’t be afraid to order some whipped cream on top too. It’s very good!

Best gelato in Rome! We were told to stay away from the fancier looking gelato places, but I’m glad we decided to stop here. The gelato is fresh, creamy, and so flavorful. My favorite was the dark chocolate nougat with a caramel almond topping. A MUST TRY!

Gelato’s pretty good! The store is pretty small, but it was also pretty empty when I went. I got a cup of peach and coffee, and it was really good! The gelato’s pretty creamy, and it’s not too sweet. I enjoyed it!

Gelato? Do I even need to be asked? Of course not! Yes to gelato!
There are gelato places everywhere you go all around Rome. Venchi is a bit different in that they also make chocolates. Not only can you get some good gelato but you can grab all types of chocolate to eat or as gifts.
This place is pretty busy and a lot of their gelato has been scooped up! I went with hazelnut and pistachio on a cone. At 3.5 euros that’s such a steal if the U.S. Dollar was the same as the euro. Too bad.
The gelato is as good as I remember from a previous trip to Italy. Rich, creamy, and packed with real genuine flavor and ingredients. The pistachio has real nuts in it and is a natural green. The hazelnut was a vanilla with large swirls of very rich hazelnut chocolate.
More gelato please!

I came here for the gelato, their chocolate flavours are best in Rome from my experience. The intensity of the chocolate is very profound. This shouldn’t be surprising considering it’s primarily a chocolate store. I also tried a couple of other flavours that were kind of blah. I think one should only come here if they are craving some variety of chocolate gelato, otherwise walk around town a bit more to another shop for different flavours.

Best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had hands down. The pieces of pistachio in was just perfect.

Not the best gelato in Rome, but perfectly satisfying on a hot day.

I spent an hour online searching through Venchi’s website looking for a listing of their local stores. The welcome chocolates my hotel had put in my room got me started on this quest for deliciousness. And then, lo and behold, I randomly stumbled upon their shop during a jog around the Spanish Steps neighborhood.
The gelato is delicious– I’m not a gelato expert, but I know good food, and this was delightful. The extra dark chocolate, combined with cappuccino, was amazing.
They sell chocolates individually wrapped, in a glass case where you can select them and put together a gift box, and already wrapped up in boxes. Great for gifts. Pricey, yes, but the chocolate is excellent. I recommend the chocaviar and the Rum chocolates.
Excellent. The staff was very pleasant as well.

Venchi has the best Italian chocolate. This store has their very classic/​traditional assortments wrapped in adorable boxes. I come here to buy my gifts; you can’t go wrong.
The gelato is decadent, creamy, and almost heavy. It’s delicious, but not entirely the best gelato out there. Prices, compared to my other favorite gelaterie, are higher: € 3.50 for a small (2 flavors) when the average would be from € 1.5-€ 2.5.
I come here all the time for the chocolate, but only once for each visitor I have in Rome.

If you are a fan of chocolate, you MUST stop here and try the gelato! The chocolate flavors are insanely chocolately! The gelato menu here has more «fussy» and gourmet style flavors that will appeal more to adults than children; I had the cinnamon dark chocolate gelato and it was yummy. It’s not the best gelato ever, but the inventive flavors make it worth a stop. Friendly employees and generous scoops.

I tried the limon granita here and I couldn’t have asked for anything more refreshing and delicious in that moment. I thought that this was what granita would then taste like in Italy and was I wrong. I had granita twice after and it was just sweet liquidy icy juice. Not at all like my venchi granita.
Lesson I learned — the things that look like slurpy machines are what most gelato shops in tourist areas consider granita. Gross! Venchi has it sitting beside the gelato and its FROZEN. If you’re there in the summer you will want this every day. I found venchi in Florence and Vienna as well.
Their «frappes» are also delicious, as is their gelato go that matter. I had a dark chocolate and café frappé that was like a milkshake a coffee connoisseur would appreciate.
