A good selection of ices, not so many flavours that you can't decide! The quality is fantastic, smooth, rich and very tasty. The cones themselves are also very good indeed, the best we've ever had. A 1.50 euro cone with two flavours was perfect after a meal. On a recent trip we tried ice creams in Rome and Naples and... More

We rode a bus and walked from across town to get to this gelataria after all of the hype drew us there. I must say that I have had better gelati in many places in Rome and the stand in line and the rude service were not worth it.

We love this gelateria!!! and not only us, here you need to stay in a long long long line before you get your ice-cream, but the 20 minutes wait was all worth it! I can really recommend their banana ice-cream.

I had it the first time in 2001 or 2002 . Since then, every time I am Rome (in the past I have worked there for a while, now I still visit usually once a year) I go there and take it. After more than 100 visits (in my case that's for sure) I confirm is the best you can... More

Though the app got me a little confused about the location, it was easy to track by the number of people having gelato out of Old Bridge cups. We had to wait in line for about 10 minutes but it was well worth it. I am a real gelato enthusiast and I must say this is a must, especially after... More

Old Bridge Gellateria has long lines, for sure....but when you get to the end of them, you will have the best gelato in Rome. I have been to the gelatteria 3 times and 2 out of the 3 times there was a 15-20 line. It is pretty entertaining to watch the people( as well as nuns and preists) while you... More

Great, delicious, yummy yummy gelato. Great texture, great flavour. I had the cream cheese pistachio and peach, hubby had chocolate... all divine! Busy place so not much time to ponder your selection. No place to sit so fend for yourself or eat real fast. Near the Vatican area so we only had a chance to go once as our hotel... More

Recommended flavors: chocolate, coffee, Nocciola (hazelnut with chocolate, like nutella), stracciatella (close to chocolate chip), amaretto. Good value for Rome - medium size is 3 scoops for EU 2.50 We went here after the Easter Vigil -- best way to break the Lenten fast -- and several times thereafter.

Stayed near here for a week. Took a nightly stroll and had a generous 3-flavor cone each night. Prices are low and the gelato is as good as those other 2 places everyone raves about Friendly staff.

The line out the door and around the block is a good indication of how tasty the gelato at Old Bridge is! It's worth the wait. In fact, I made sure to visit here twice on my recent trip to Rome. Tried the banana, cookies, nutella, blueberry, and caffe...and I'd get all of them again. If you're looking for a... More
