It was the best ice cream we ever had! So many vegan flavors (peanut, cinnamon, dark chocolate, fruits, coffee, pistachio & nocciola…) it was to die for!! We are considering to get a second one right away! Definitely go! The nonna selling it is the cutest. Everything is without sugar. They even had amazing vegan cream!

Brivido Gelateria was a great little stop. The gelato was smooth and full of flavour, with plenty of options to choose from. Not the best I’ve had in Italy, but still really good

Stumbled upon this ice-cream shop on the last day of our trip by accident, and it turned out to be the best we found! The ice-cream is amazing and the service is even better! All the flavours tasted great, and we were offered free cream and chocolate dip! The woman who served us was very kind, enthusiastic about the ice-cream, and gave great suggestions! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Rome and will definitely come back here if I return to this area!

Bellisimo! Authentic. Great quality and flavour choice. Friendly. I’ll be back tomorrow. And they had choc mint which my 8 year old has been craving. Dipped in chocolate sauce and covered in whipped cream. What more could he want!

Amazing place! Super friendly owner, and they had 12 (!) vegan options, and a vegan whipped cream. Everything was so good!! Definitely one of the best vegan gelatos I have had in Italy. And Testaccio is such a lovely neighborhood!

This is a real local Testaccio spot, run by a sweet and friendly Nonna, and has exceptional flavours of gelato, including a case of vegan gelatos, ices, with a range of regular waffle and gluten free cones. Personally I love the cremolato (emacerated, frozen and shaved fruit ice) with Panna (traditional Roman whipped cream). It's a summer hit! The place is open late too!

Brivido Gelateria, nestled in the heart of Rome on Via Giovanni Battista Bodoni, offers an authentic gelato experience that captivates both locals and travelers alike. This charming gelateria is more than just a stop for a sweet treat—it's a celebration of flavor, quality, and genuine hospitality. As you step inside, you immediately sense the passion behind each scoop, evident not only in the texture and taste but also in the warm service that accompanies every order.

The standout feature of Brivido Gelateria lies in its diverse and thoughtfully curated menu, especially its impressive array of vegan options. From rich dark chocolate to aromatic cinnamon, peanut, and vibrant fruit flavors, every choice is a true delight. Offering options without added sugar and even vegan cream, the gelateria caters to health-conscious patrons and those with dietary restrictions without compromising on taste. This careful balance makes it a rare gem in Rome’s vast gelato scene.

What truly elevates Brivido is the smooth, creamy texture and the depth of flavor in each serving. Whether it's the classic pistachio or nocciola (hazelnut), every spoonful tells a story of quality ingredients and expert craftsmanship. The small touches—the delicious chocolate dips, whipped cream toppings, and friendly recommendations—transform a simple dessert into a memorable experience.

The atmosphere complements the artisanal quality of the gelato. The nonna who serves guests adds a heartfelt charm, making the visit feel personal and authentic. It’s a place not just to indulge but to savor, reflect, and enjoy a moment of genuine Italian dolce vita.

In my experience, Brivido Gelateria is a must-visit destination in Rome for gelato lovers seeking variety, authenticity, and exceptional taste. It’s clear that here, ice cream isn’t just a product—it’s an art. My visit was a symphony of rich flavors and warm smiles, making it impossible not to plan a return trip while still savoring the last spoonful.
