Lanzallotto In Roma

My go-to ice cream shop for 30 years

I love this ice cream shop. One of the best in Rome.

A historic gelateria, one of those that has been around for so many years that it's become as much a part of the neighborhood as the streets surrounding it. As soon as you arrive, you immediately realize how tiny the place is: just a few square meters, everything compact, barely enough room to move around. And yet, that's precisely the beauty of it. Despite its small size, it almost seems to burst with life, aromas, and colors. The most striking thing is the impressive array of flavors available. There are so many, from the great classics to the rarest specialties, even those unique flavors you can't find anywhere else. Each tub is carefully crafted, full, fresh, and inviting. It's a gelateria that's small in size but huge in its selection: truly a place where if you don't fall in love with at least one flavor... it's because you haven't tried them all. The place is always packed, a sign that its quality has been recognized for years and continues to attract customers of all kinds: families, tourists, locals, and those who just happen to be passing by. Between granitas, creams, sorbets, house specialties, and seasonal variations, it's impossible not to find something that will make you want to return. The only slightly less positive note concerns the staff. They aren't exactly super friendly, and especially during busy periods, they tend to be a bit cold or hasty. Nothing dramatic, of course, but in such a famous and popular place, a little extra friendliness wouldn't hurt. In any case, the gelato remains the real star: creamy, rich, made with ingredients you can really taste. If you love artisanal gelato, this place is almost a must-see.

Excellent gelato, and more. Fair prices, a wide variety of flavors, and always friendly and efficient staff. A regular stop for years! Highly recommended!

Needless to say, Lanzallatto is the story of Rome. A gelateria that's part of our history. Their smoothies and "rich" granitas with real fruit pieces added on the spot are famous! Happy childhood

I've been going to Lanzallotto for many years now, and I really appreciate the fact that it's always remained true to its roots: truly artisanal and delicious flavors, satisfying yogurts, and smoothies that quench your thirst after a really hot morning. I'm just sorry the staff is rude: it costs nothing to be kind and smile at your customers.

One of the very few truly artisanal ice cream shops, made with fresh seasonal fruit and wonderful fruit and ice cream cups that are mouth-watering!

On a Saturday evening in August, what used to be one of the best ice cream shops in Rome has now fallen into line with the others in terms of quality. I'm taking away a star because the person who served me insisted on paying in cash even though the customer before me with a lower bill than mine had paid by card without any problems.

I've been going to this ice cream shop since 1984. It used to be called LA BOMBONIERA. The owner, Domenico, is always helpful and very kind. The ice cream is always top-notch. Last night we went there with old friends from the group. It felt like a blast from the past. The 80s/90s 🙏❤️

This isn't just the best gelato in Rome, it's the best gelato in the world. I've tried so many, so many, but this one has always been unbeatable. Try it and believe it.
