130 Years of History and Celebrity
A journey among the big names who have paid tribute to our ice cream.
Over the decades, our restaurant has welcomed prominent figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment and sports. Among the many illustrious names who have enjoyed our specialties we find political leaders such as Saragat, Fanfani, Almirante, Berlinguer, Conte, Napolitano, Andreotti, Berlusconi, Prodi, Alemanno, Fini, Rutelli and many others who still frequent Giolitti assiduously.
The world of cinema, music and sports has also left its mark on our halls.
In the famous film “Roman Holiday,” Gregory Peck, our longtime customer, demanded that Giolitti provide the ice cream for the legendary scene on the Spanish Steps.
Today we are also a Hollywood “celebrity,” attracting world-class clientele.

Giolitti is not only an institution of taste, but a meeting place that has made the history of the Roman dolce vita. Many Italian and international celebrities have enjoyed our products, and some wanted to get behind the counter and serve customers.
