AUTHENTIC TASTE IS BORN FROM THE ESSENCE OF THINGS:
ESSENTIA IS GELATO IN ITS TRUEST FORM
At Essentia, every gelato is the result of passionate research, where the quality of the ingredients and artisanal mastery come together to create a unique sensory experience. We select only the finest raw materials: milk, seasonal fruit, premium chocolate, Bourbon vanilla, Bronte pistachios, and hazelnuts from the Langhe.
Each ingredient is carefully selected, processed without compromise, and transformed using techniques that respect its purest essence.
ESSENTIA'S CREAM FLAVORS
Our passion is to create the perfect balance between creaminess, intensity, and lightness, to offer you a gelato that is not just a pleasure, but an emotion.
Each flavor tells a story, a journey between tradition and innovation, able to surprise you with every bite.
ESSENTIA FRUIT'S SELECTION
Alongside our most indulgent creations, you'll also find lactose-free flavors—light yet intense—designed to deliver authentic emotions to every palate.
Mango, berries, strawberry, lemon, and banana: the freshest side of pleasure.
ESSENTIA IS NOT JUST GELATO:
A WORLD OF SWEET TEMPTATIONS THAT ELEVATE THE PLEASURE OF EVERY MOMENT

ESSENTIA IS A RETURN TO THE ESSENTIAL:
THE TRUE SOUL OF GELATO
At Essentia, we believe gelato is much more than just a dessert: it is an art, a passion, a story told through authentic ingredients and skilled hands.
Our name is inspired by the Aristotelian concept of essence, that which defines the deep and unchanging nature of things.
And just like in philosophy, our gelato is the purest expression of quality and artisanal excellence.
We are convinced that beauty and taste go hand in hand with simplicity, which is why every one of our creations begins with a rigorous selection of raw materials, transformed with care and without artifices.
ESSENTIA IS YOUR PERFECT BREAK BETWEEN HISTORY AND SWEETNESS
In the heart of Rome, just steps away from the Trevi Fountain, you'll find Essentia, Naturalmente Gelato, a place where history meets flavor. Here, amid the sound of flowing water and the charm of one of the world’s most iconic squares, time seems to slow down to make room for true pleasure.
Our shop is nestled within the historic building owned by the Cremonini family, a long-standing symbol of warmth and hospitality. With Essentia, we carry on this tradition, creating an ideal space for those seeking a refined break, wrapped in a truly unique atmosphere.
Located in the heart of the “Bistrot”, Essentia is a corner of sweetness overlooking one of Rome’s most enchanting views, just steps from the entrance of the Vicus Caprarius – The City of Water Museum, an underground archaeological site that tells the millennia-old story of the Eternal City.
