🚨The MOST ICONIC gelato shop in Rome!!
[📌 comment “GUIDE” for the most detailed guide to Rome you will EVER find]
📍Welcome to Giolitti
a 130+ year old family-run institution and one of the most iconic gelaterias in all of Rome 🍦
🫶 But there is a VERY specific way to order depending on how you want to experience it!
👇 And if you don’t know this, it can be VERY confusing
✨ Option 1: Gelato to-go (fast + classic)
➡️Enter through the RIGHT door�1️⃣Wait in line at the cashier first
👇 Here’s what you do:
🍨 Choose your size (cup/cone, 1 scoop, 2 scoops, etc.)
💰 Pay FIRST
🚫 You will NOT pick flavors yet
🎟️ Then take your ticket to the gelato counter:
🎫 Hand them your ticket
😋 Tell them your flavors
🍨 Receive your dream gelato
Important:
�You’ll walk through the dining room on your way out BUT…
�👎 you CANNOT sit there with takeaway gelato
✨ Option 2: Sit-down experience (the ICONIC way)
⬅️ Enter through the LEFT door
💁♂️ Look for a waiter in a green vest
🍴Ask for a table
👇 Once seated:
🍦You’ll order directly from the menu
🍰 Tons of options beyond gelato too
😍 Full table service experience
Why you should sit if you can:
The atmosphere is old-school, classic Rome
It feels like stepping back in time 🥰
And honestly… gelato this good deserves to be savored slowly
🫶 this is a non-negotiable stop in Rome
Save this so you don’t get confused when you go!
⬇️ And tell us…what flavor are you getting?!
