Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Not good value. Super small serves - like SMALL! Got medium 3 scoops for 5euro and the gelato didn’t even come above the lip of the cup. Literally a third of what you usually get. Staying in area for a week - Won’t be going...back. Plenty of other gelato options on same street. Staff were pretty rude as well. Shame because gelato isn’t too bad !More

Good flavors but small portions compared to the three other gelato places we tried in Rome. Probably expensive real estate near the Vatican.

My wife had the big black gelato. It was like someone dropped a box of cocoa in chocolate gelato. So super chocolately. Very excellent. I had straiticella and caffe, both very good. I thought the gelato was the best we had, until we got to...the end of the street. Sorry Sublime you are 2nd best in RomeMore

Great gelato - we had dark chocolate and lime flavors. Delicious and very reasonable. We went there so much that they recognized us.

We were staying right next door to Sublime so we decided we would pop in for a gelato one afternoon. There was a nice range of flavours, I had a chocolate orange one which was really tasty. Staff were friendly and helped with understanding what...the flavours were. Plenty of choice.More

Don’t look any further for the best gelato in Rome! Homemade gelato made fresh daily. Patrizio makes small batches to ensure the freshest gelato. Fior di latte is a must!! Great stop nearby St. Peter’s Basilica!! Awesome ending after having dinner at Ristorante Venerina

Of all the gelato we ate in Rome...and we ate A LOT...my favorite was Le Big Dark from Sublime. I hope I am remembering the name correctly. It was the most amazing, creamy dark chocolate gelato. I’ve never tasted anything like it. Aside from that,...the staff was friendly and the shop is adorable, on a small cobblestone street lined with lots of restaurants. Perfect for a stroll while eating the most delicious gelato.More

There is a big variety of flavours. I tried more than six flavours and I enjoyed all of them. My favourite was the watermelon.

Sublime Gelateria was a great stop off after hours in line in the sun at the Vatican. They had a sign up saying "gluten free, milk free, vegan ok" so I went straight in!
