Blue Ice Gelaterie

This gelato was amazing! I had the vegan chocolate, almond, and coconut. No joke, the best gelato I've ever had!! My non-vegan friend got gelato as well and agreed it was the best she'd ever had. The almond was my favourite flavour. Though it was a bit expensive it was definitely worth it for such great gelato with many vegan options!

Had the hazelnut and the chocolate vegan options today and they were incredible! So rich and creamy! You would never know! ❤️

I'm not a fan of icecreams but I've tried the dark chocolate Vegan flavor with the Vegan Gluten Free cone. Good enough, but pricey.

I was excited to find this yesterday. I was looking at flavours when the lady came over I very politely said 'Ciao' and she just rudely looking at me and basically rolled her eyes as she looked away. Then to discover they only had 1 soy flavour which I read below is not vegan (lucky I didn't get it). I ended up just leaving because the lady was so rude.

WARNING: SOY GELATO IS NOT VEGAN. I asked and was told that all soy flavours contained a mix of soy milk and regular milk. However, there was a selection of fruit sorbets which were all vegan and also the dark chocolate gelato was vegan. I had a peach sorbet which was ok but nothing special. It is also no longer located at the address listed on Happy Cow.

The Via Ottaviano Blue Ice had very good soy ice cream: the hazelnut flavor was delicious.

it's an icecream chain and you can find many stores all over rome. even the smaller ones have at least one soy based icecream - highly recommendable!

Visited it quite a lot because i was sure they have vegan options. They had 4 different flavors with soy milk: pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate and vanilla(as far as i remember). Hazelnut was definately THE BEST! They also had fruit gelato which did not contain animal products either. I really enjoyed my trip and this was one of the reasons why!

P.S. Blue ice gelaterie has many more shops all around Rome. There is one near Trevi fountain and St. Peter's Basilica. I also visited one just wandering somewhere in the streets of Rome so i can't exactly remember the location. Sometimes the smaller ones didn't have all of the soy flavors i mentioned but they always had at least two of them.

This place was nice and friendly, serving a handful of vegan flavors of gelato.

I'd definitely go again.

I guess this is kind of a chain store in Italy, or at least Rome, as once we'd spotted one we started seeing them everywhere. Anyway for 3 euros you get a massive ice cream with 5 or 6 flavours of soya ice cream to choose from. The pistachio was brilliant, and the chocolate was one of the nicest ice creams I've ever eaten, dairy, soya or otherwise.

I was no impressed with these gellateria at all. Because it's a chain, you find the same type of gellatos at all of them and are limited to only 2 or 3 soy flavors.
Service was ok at some of them and they had some rude servers at other stores.

Now, my hesitation about Soy at these gellaterias is whether the soy milk is actually vegan or not. As all good vegans know, not all soy milk is vegan. I went to a super market in Rome and I found Soy Milk. When I read the ingredients, I noticed that they had mono and diglycerides.(I would doubt Italians would use plant base emulsifiers when animal fat is so readily available) Then, is it possible that it's only that particular soy Milk? Has anyone confirm with these gellaterias that their soy milk doesn't have those ingredients? After what I read at the market, I kept away from soy gellatos and kept eating water base stuff, Fragola sorbets were so delicious!

Delicious and creamy vegan soy-based gelatos. Hazelnut (nocciola) flavour was awesome. I didn't try the sorbets but I noticed there were several which were all vegan.

We went to two places on our trip to Rome and this place had by far the best soya ice cream between the two. I had the hazelnut and chocolate and wish we could have eaten there more days. Unfrotunately,they had been closed for holiday every other time we went by. I just wish we had this place in Copenhagen!

The texture of their soy gelato is just perfect: chocolate & hazelnut very creamy, coconut with bits of the fruit. And the flavour, among the best I tried in Rome so far!! :-))
There are several locations in Rome, so check out their website and mark your tour map. ;-)

Delicious soya ice cream... Visited several Blue Ice locations over a warm October weekend, and found the hazelnut and pistachio soya ice cream to be the best flavours. Just delicious! Sorbet, especially melon, is great but wonderful for vegans to have the ice cream option so easily out on the street in Italy.

Great spots throughout Rome, mostly found near the tourist destinations. There is one right near Trevi Fountain, one near Piazza Navona, etc. Don't forget to ask for the soy whip cream on your gelato.

This was located right by the Pantheon and offered several vegan options. We ate a lot of gelato and sorbetto in Italy, so some of it blurs together, and I don't remember which flavors I had here. I do remember that it was tasty and I would recommend stopping in while you're in Rome!

If you are touring the sites of Rome, you are likely to be doing it walking and in the warm weather. The Blue Ice locations are very pleasant to have nearby. Great variety of good-tasting soy gelato options. The location mentioned here is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Pantheon!
