Very good gelato. You can tell that they use quality ingredients and the gelato is made with pure love. They offer chocolate in the cone, aswell as, whipped cream on top for no extra charge which was a very pleasant surprise. I think I could eat an entire tub of their gelato, but I have to refrain myself from these beastly desires. I would recommend anyone to go here, aswell as any other La Romana locations across Italy.

this is my favourite gelato chain ever. it beats everything. the flavour selections are creative, high-quality, and creamy. there are so many good options, even down to the cone and the chocolate/caramel filling in the cone!!!!! so genius!!!!! the staff are always so nice and generous. my favourite flavour so far is their signature Crema, if you like sweet and creamy things PLEASE order it! and if you don’t, you should still order it. it’s decadent but not too heavy. and it feels like it has a million hidden notes of flavours within it, but gracefully, so it also tastes classic. ah, it’s so good. the yoghurt flavour was also really nice and sooo filling! not to mention that i got an addition of coffee cream, a good bitter balance to the rest of the gelato. i will miss you dearly and remember you fondly, La Romana!

amazing place. we have visited several times and every time it has been phenomenal. today Frank has passed the highest standards of service (I have a severe allergy to strawberries and he helped us choose a dessert that had fruit but no strawberries - he really got involved - in several places I have been ignored with it). I really admire your place, the ingredients you use and your approach to guests.

So nice to find this store outside of Rome, I missed getting free panna everywhere south of Tuscany! The flavors were great, no drop in quality from their stores in Rome. The store itself was also super clean and spacious and smelled of mouthwatering crepes

The best! I have tried in many places in Italy; yes there are close ones but La Romana has the first seat. Once you try the gelato here; you will not need the search if there are better gelateria or not; you will like you found what you look for!
