Grom

Wer von euch gerne Sorbet isst, dem wird auch das Eis von Grom, vor allem die Fruchtsorten, besonders gut schmecken!
Bei Grom werden die diversen Eissorten in silbernen Kesseln aufbewahrt sowie gekühlt und bevor sie in euren Eisbecher gelangen, wird darin noch einmal kräftig umgerührt.
Das ganze Jahr über könnt ihr die klassischen Sorten bestellen, zusätzlich gibt es jedoch auch saisonale Sorten wie zurzeit zum Beispiel Pfirsich (Pesca), Himbeere (Lamponi) oder Bitterschokolade (Cioccolato fondente).
Ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass ich das Eis von Grom sehr gerne mag, allerdings muss ich dazu sagen, dass es weniger cremig (auch wegen der Sorbet-​Eissorten) als in anderen Eisdielen ist.

After searching Campo de’ Fiori for gelato places, my mother and I decided on Grom. I immediately felt comfortable here with the hip vibe and nice blue and white color scheme. After surveying the multitude of flavors, I opted for the melon and raspberry gelatos in a cone which were both refreshing and delicious. This is truly Roman gelato at its finest!

Decided to try the granita at Grom, which is good for hot, sticky days. Like an upscale slushie, granita here comes in two flavors: lemon and berry, both good. The lemon flavored was mouth-​puckeringly tart. The berry was less so, and had some texture from small berry seeds. In the high-​90s, they quickly turned to juice, so the cooling effect is short-​lived. Lots of tourists come here, so there may be a bit of a wait and the line may be nonexistant. Despite the heat and crowds, the employees were patient and helpful. Prices are comparable to other gelaterias.

We went during an off time so the line was short but, apparently, word has spread about the delish factor because the line was huge just a few hours prior to our actual visit. Delicious lemon granita and espresso gelato! The stratiacelli and nougat were just okay. Intense, yummy chocolate! I didn’t like that you couldn’t see the gelato — they were all stored in covered containers and we did not see any English translations so it was a bit of a crap shoot. I may go again to try the mango & mulberry granitas.

I had the equivalent of vanilla and a scoop of pistachio. Vanilla was soon awesome. Keep in mind that all the flavors are much more intense than in the states. So I didn’t like the pistachio or chocolate as much since it was super intense. But since the vanilla was plain, just crème flavored, I liked it. Super creamy. Also liked the lemon granita.

Location: Right off Campo dei Fiori
The goods: Pretty good gelato but I still prefer Fatamorgana. I tried the cream, pistachio and Bacio gelato here. Loved the Bacio — it had bits of hazelnut in it and the chocolate tasted of the 70% variety. The cream version had sort of a smoky taste to it — I liked it bit it wasn’t my favorite. The pistachio was good with real pistachios thrown in for good measure.
Price point: 3.50 € for 3 scoops so it’s in line with other shops.
Definitely a good place to stop by if you’re in the area.

Truly «Old Fashioned Gelato»… it is in their tagline: «Gelato come una volta». GROM is a chain of gelato shops that started about 10 years ago in Turin, and has been spreading like wildfire all over the country. They even have some international shops now in Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo & Paris. This one is right off of Campo dei Fiori in Rome, of course.
So what makes them so special. I mean, we are in Italy! Gelato everywhere, right? Well, yeah… but most places nowadays use powdered artificial flavors. Gelato, even in Italy, has really become a mass-​market product that is no longer, for the most part, made in the artisinal tradition. Rarely do you get that gelato made with fresh ingredients anymore.
GROM began with the idea of Slow Food in mind. Their gelato is made with the best, freshest ingredients, and you can really taste it. It is absolutely fantastic, to the point that you will often see a line out the door.
Just about any flavor you get here is going to be fantastic, but my preference is simple «Fior di Latte»
YUM!

Pretty solid gelato. I didn’t realize that they’re actually a chain and present in the US so I’m really excited to get back home and get my Grom on. But anyways, I ordered the salted caramel and the coffee and they went together very well. Grom is actually authentic gelato which is always nice since sometimes a lot of gelato places end up actually being ice cream places. Gelato is very cream and smooth texture – flavors are on the strong side, but delicious nonetheless. I believe my small was a 2.50 euro so good deal!

man oh man oh man oh man.
This was hands down the best Gelato I had during our short stay in Rome.
They have limited flavors but I got the classic Stracciatella and dark chocolate. The dark chocolate was SUPERB and both were very fresh and creamy. Any time we walked past this place, it was packed with people. It’s worth the wait!
