I remember this place being number 1 amongst 1000+ restaurants in Budapest on TA for the longest time ever, so I was curious to go see it. Yes indeed the flower shape is pretty, especially if you choose the colors so that it makes a beautiful combination, and take a pic. As for the rest - the place is so...

Description: Located in the center of Budapest (Basilica), Gelarto Rosa is THE BEST ice cream in this town! Owner, the charismatic Niki Szokron studied the secrets of old Italian family recipes straight from the source in Italy and brought it back to her city. The philosophy behind it: fresh and true quality ingredients, old Italian traditions, modern technic and as final touch, add artistic creativity.The pretty ice cream girls at Niki's shop "create" each and every portion or cone as a unique artwork using ice cream as art material. It's simply amazing! Dont't miss Peti (the barista) great Italian style coffee, and have real French macaroon from Juliette McAron.

I came here three times in one day, not to mention every day on my trip. Obviously the presentation is beautiful, but the gelato and the flavors they have to offer were amazing. Basil-Lemon--are you kidding me? I could eat this all day. It was amazing and the staff was so friendly. The location is also great.

The flower designs are nice, lets you know they care about what they are doing which is a nice tip, but the highlight is the taste of the different flavors, my favorite is Basil and Lemon, try it, you will be surprised, then the Ginger is wonderful also! We stood in line for 15 minutes, which was not so enjoyable.

A great little ice cream shop, right by the basilica. Great service with happy and friendly staff. Loved the ice creams and being made into a rose just adds an extra uniqueness.

The flavour of the ice is not really special. We had much better. But the concept is really nice! Beautiful flower en wonderful location of course.

The place is as good as all the other reviews. A small size was still quite a large portion. If in Budapest just go! Four stars because the service was so rushed.

Gelarto Rosa is definitely delicious! They had many flavours (I had chili chocolate, pistachio, and ginger) for very reasonable prices. There was a line out the door but the staff dealt with it quickly and efficiently. If I had more days in Budapest I would definitely be back.

Had seen this place on TripAdvisor and looked forward to trying it. It did not disappoint! Fun watching the flower being created - suggest three flavours for a great bloom. There are many unusual flavours to choose from. Ask for your favourite first - it will make up the main part of your ice cream, and the next flavours make...

Last week it was sweltering in Budapest. Walk down the steps from the front of St. Steven's Basilica and at the first building off the square on the right you will find this cute place. Lines out the door. Pistachio with vanilla in the center--I thought I was quite creative. Love the roses, I mean where else will you see...
