GROM in Province of Padua

"One of the best gelaterias in Padova; the staff was very friendly."

"I lived Padua for about 6 months, it was a terribly difficult time with not much good happening, however my apartment was a two minute walk from this gelateria. It legitimately brought me a lot of comfort. Even in the dead of winter I would go out just to get a copetta and sit outside to eat it. The kindest staff and wonderful gelato. Their stracciatella is amazing. I don't miss this town but i do miss this ice cream."

"If there is something I have learned from my time in gastronomy school is that good, natural ingredients are the very cornerstone of good food. You can't expect great results if the base of your recipe is sub-standard. I find this to be particularly evident in the case of gelato. How many times did I enter a new gelateria to have my heart broken by the sight of that horrid blue "puffo" gelato, or the equally horrible and unnatural shade of green food coloring (among other things) many shop owners add to pistachio to make it look more appealing to some. Before we met, my husband believed all gelato was a mixture of a premade powders and milk. He is italian and once had a job making gelato in a very popular shop. This is a cheap, very shelf- stable product that any teen in a summer job (as he was at the time) can easily do. But true artisan gelato is an entire different breed. It doesn't rely (or at least it shouldn't) on any chemical flavors or texturizers. It requires art and patience to create a treat out of seasonal ingredients, and that's the promise you get from a committed company like Grom: all ingredients are natural, either locally grown in their own farms or fairly sourced. Never an additive, only fresh stuff that makes something truly decadent, natural and a thousand times better for your health too. My favorite flavors are Crema di Grom and fresh fruit sorbets that are so creamy it's hard to believe they don't contain any milk. Extra kudos for their socially and ecologically responsible practices and good service. Tip: if waiting in line for half an hour for your gelato doesn't seem that appealing, try the second location on Via Roma. It's usually less busy."

"One of the best ice creams I've ever had! The person behind the counter was also extremely friendly. If I get the opportunity to come back to Padova I will be coming back to Grom. :) Highly recommend"

"One of the best Italian Gelato’s I’ve ever had."

"Their pistachio Gellato is one of the best I have had and watershake is so good."

"20251111 - authentic gelato restuarant that serves gelato in metal tins. Has many flavours. Ordered large cup with 4 servings, including limone, tiramisu, caffe and pistacchio. Limone is refreshing, and the rest is rich in taste. Recommended to try during winter where it will not melt."

"After a pleasant stroll through the old part of Padua, my wife and I stopped at this promising ice cream shop. The desire for good ice cream and refreshment was great, so we took large pots. My wife took tiramisu, and I ordered pistachio. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the flavors. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was not even close to the expected taste."
