All vegan all good - Edit
Great little shop for all vegan ice cream and cakes. Cakes are not my style but I'm very picky when it comes to them (I always end up preferring my own). Ice cream was very, very good. We had like 6 different sorts and they were all excellent.
Pros: Excellent all vegan ice cream, vegan cones
Cons: None

Delicious and huge selection - Edit
This place is the best! About 30 delicious and diverse flavours - everything we tried was great. Prices are completely reasonable, service is friendly, everything is vegan, what more can you ask for?
Located on the A Metro line, it is also super easy to get to this place, so just go there!
Pros: Huge selection, All vegan flavours, Great prices
Cons: Can't cure cancer (yet)?

Unbelievable taste! - Edit
At first I was skeptical of the concept of using olive oil instead of, say, almond milk to get that classic gelato flavor. However, I can safely say this vegan gelato is the closest I've ever tasted to the real thing! Most other gelato stores with vegan options I've been to have used soy milk, which takes away from the flavor, but this place has really got the flavor down! For some flavors they also use coconut milk, which I believe helps with the consistency. I saw others talk about that issue in their reviews too, but honestly it's not a big deal for me if the ice cream is a little soft. If you're truly bothered by slightly runny ice cream then I'd recommend getting a cup - I got a 3 euro one and paired together a classic dark chocolate and vanilla. The 3 euro cup is actually good for three flavors, but I stuck to two. Another thing that is worth mentioning is that they do speak some English there, so if you don't speak Italian but you do speak English then that's not a problem! My non-vegan friends choose to frequent this place over other gelato stores so I can attest to it being a top-notch option for vegans and non-vegans alike! Definitely worth your penny!
Pros: Friendly staff, Accommodating for native English speakers, Best vegan gelato in terms of flavor
Cons: Ice cream may have slightly runny texture

Incredible - don't miss it! - Edit
This is one of those things that made me raise my eyebrows to start with and go: "what?! Olive oil gelato?" but once I tried it I was sold. You've got to taste it to believe it. They're experimental with their flavours, and the mild flavour of the olive oil allows them to really shine through and be much stronger than with regular milk. I tried black tea, baobab, goji and naranjilla. I could have easily returned every day.

Tons of selection. I came here 3 times during my stay, I couldn't get enough. I think I can say it's the best ice cream ive ever had. Each flavor is amazing. Make this your go - to vegan gelato place in Rome

Lots of vegan gelato options - Edit
We tried 5 of the flavors - pistachio, hazelnut, banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. They were mostly yummy, some better than others. We arrived around 8pm and many flavors we sold out, which was disappointing (we walked two miles in the rain just to try it!). The boy working was not very friendly (high school kid) and all the flavors are hidden behind stainless steel cases, which took away from the experience a bit.
We also bought two cookies, which were terrible - stick with the gelato!
It was big and clean with lots of seating.
Pros: lots of flavors, big and clean
Cons: location, bakery items, runs out of stock

Not bad but... - Edit
Great choice of creams. I went two times with my woman. I've tasted almonds, pine nuts and walnut and I loved them, while my woman ginger and mint chocolate, that found a "too soft and loose" consistency, probably for the use of olive oil.
But we will not return 'cause they adopt an italian certification (Vegan OK) that does not meet our ethical ideals, and we have decided to boycott.
---
Sono andato un paio di volte con la mia compagna. C'è una gran varietà di creme. Io ho assaggiato i gusti mandorla, pinolo e noce; lei zenzero e cioccolato alla menta. A me sono piaciuti molto mentre la mia donna li ha trovati troppo "morbidi e sciolti", consistenza probabilmente dovuta all'uso di olio di oliva.
In ogni caso non ci torneremo perché adottano la certificazione "Vegan OK" che, a parer nostro, non certifica proprio un bel niente, e che personalmente abbiamo deciso di boicottare, ritenendo chi la promuove orientato unicamente al business e non agli ideali etici che dovrebbero caratterizzare il nostro credo antispecista.

All vegan gelateria - Edit
Exquisite
I went during my first day in Rome, will go again every day that I am in Rome, future visits included.
Had pistachio-dark chocolate-vanilla.
So many flavors that I will not be able to taste them all during my stay in Rome. Unless I go there all day every day for every meal that I'm going to eat. Which would be almost an option, so good.

It's an all vegan gelateria. Is there anything more to say? We came twice and were in heaven. The first time we shared a cone with coffee and mint. The coffee was unbelievable. The second time we each got cups. I got the pistachio and rose water flavors. Dirk had three different flavors, all involving chocolate in some way. Delicious! And to cap it all off, we got an ice cream bar to share that was in the display case. Really nice and clean shop with friendly staff. Near the metro station. Definitely go!!!
Pros: all vegan gelateria, lots of flavors, nice shop

Love your place!!! I arrived in Rome Friday evening and was determined to visit your place. I walked all the way from Termini with my luggage at night to find you. And when I did, I was soooo happy! Your gelato is delicious. Really really good. Excited to come back on my next trip to Rome. Ciao!

Amazing gelato! - Edit
This is incredible gelato. It is made with olive oil and it's dairy free. The pistachio is my favorite. I also loved the coffee flavor and the nonna lella. The staff is very friendly and helpful especially Frederico.
Pros: free wifi, plenty of tables to sit and enjoy
