Gelateria Alberto Pica In Roma

Excellent ice cream shop and bar in the center, a side street off Via Arenula. It doesn't have a huge variety of flavors, but they're all excellent. I recommend trying the rice and rose ice cream. You can sit inside or outside. Friendly staff. Always excellent.

The best gelato we had in 6 days in Rome. Interesting flavors with perfect consistency, as well as lots of seating for a mid-day break.

Excellent artisanal ice cream... Warm and polite welcome... Knowledgeable staff...

The service was so friendly, and the coffee and ice cream were delicious!

Incredibly delicious, the rice pudding ice cream is a dream.

Since 1971, the "Alberto Pica" Gelateria and Bar has been located in the historic center of Rome, Rione VII (Regola), at Via della Seggiola 12, next to the Ministry of Justice. Alberto Pica Gelateria and Bar: Tradition and Flavor since 1971: This establishment has been a landmark for those passing through this area for over fifty years. Famous primarily for its artisanal gelato, enjoyed in a tranquil setting away from the chaos of the city. Architecture and Atmosphere: According to tradition, the historic building that houses the gelateria, with its typical Roman architectural features, was once a stable in the early 20th century, owned by a family that raised cows along the Tiber and produced milk for gelato. Outside, umbrellas and tables invite you to a relaxing break. Inside, the recently renovated space is refined, with large mirrors, elegant chandeliers, and comfortable tables creating a welcoming and timeless atmosphere. I also took a break and enjoyed a hearty breakfast of coffee and a croissant. FUN FACT: DID YOU KNOW THAT...? The street takes its name from the ancient sediari, artisans specialized in chair making, particularly those woven from hemp. It was once called "Via dei Sediari alla Regola," a testament to the neighborhood's vibrant artisanal activity. ROME IN DETAIL: Rome isn't just about grand monuments and squares; it's also a city to be experienced, like this neighborhood, where you'll find a variety of useful activities for those who want to experience the city like a Roman.

Excellent quality ice cream. My wife and I are picky about good gelato and this place was a great find. Friendly service too.

This is the most yummy gelato in Roma! And also not pricey. Consider trying Settevelli flavour.. its the best! Rice flavours are also something new🥹

Pica…..Still number one “triptych” - Pistachio, Coffee and Rice Cream.

I wish I had more than 5 stars to give to this place. I discovered their rice gelato nearly 20 years ago and it is still as good today as it was that first time. It’s like they took an incredible rice pudding and froze it. I’ve never had gelato so good. On my last trip I went as many times as I could and still can’t get enough. The rice flavors especially blew my mind. The folks working here are very kind, and offer some unexpected but delightful pairing suggestions.
