Ice cream Heaven 🌈

This one is all vegan! The flavors are all really delicious and unique. I had peanut and matcha ice cream but the staff offered me to try different samples first which was great! ❤️

Pros: all vegan

Cons: wanting to eat all the flavors

amazing!!!

Wow vegans do not miss this spot! All flavours (as girl told me) have no milk and no animal fats in them. So many selections! From classic dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, peanuts to fruity flavours to even odd flavours such as red wine and olive oil!!! What a gem. Vegans no need to miss out on getting your gelato fix in Rome!

superb

Just add a great ice cream at Olive Dolci. The whole family enjoy it even though they add milk based Roman ice cream. They prefer this one.

Note that we had it at their second location which is not in happy cow: via Vittoria Colombia.

Pros: super good gluten free vegan ice cream

This ice cream shop is simply incredible. It offers different cakes and a hugeee variety of flavours. The coffee is also 5stars!! A must visit for any vegan in Rome. Only negative is that the food was served in non reusable dishes

Il miglior gelato vegano mai assaggiato

Grande scelta di gusti tra creme, frutta e speciali. Davvero difficile scegliere. Prezzi adeguati alla qualità del gelato. Straconsigliato anche a chi non è vegano.

Prepare to revisit again and again

We stayed about a 20 min walk away from Olive Dolci in Rome. We were there for a week and, I kid you not, we went to this place every single day to get at least 3 scoops of ice cream. I've never been anywhere that does ice cream made with olive oil LET ALONE there be so many flavours. There were like 4 different types of wine flavours!!!

The staff were well informed on where they source their ingredients, all their ice creams are seasonal so they shop locally.

The place stays open until really late which is perfect for sightseeing and coming back to Olive Dolci in the evening.

Book your flight to Rome just to go to this place.

Pros: Awesome ice cream ideas, Great prices, Late closing

Cons: More seating maybe

All vegan all good

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

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!

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!

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

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...

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.

Pros: originality, goodness, all products are vegan

Cons: consistence of creams, a certification we want boycott

All vegan gelateria

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.

all vegan gelateria

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

Really really good!!!

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!
