In the heart of San Giovanni in Rome, La Giudecca combines the elegance of a Parisian bistro with the warmth of a neighbourhood café. Ice cream, coffee, pastries and freshly made desserts, handmade every day.
La Giudecca is a dessert lounge: a unique space where artisan gelato meets speciality coffee, pastries and freshly prepared desserts. Carefully selected ingredients, an open-view kitchen and meticulous attention to aesthetics transform an everyday break into a truly special experience.
The People
Antonio and Marco
The Owners
Behind every batch of gelato churned at dawn and every coffee served with a smile, you will find them. Antonio and Marco are the faces and hands behind La Giudecca: they personally select every ingredient, keep the open-view kitchen alive and welcome everyone who walks through the door as they would welcome a guest into their home.
Their way of working behind the counter is simple and unwavering: obsessive attention to detail, respect for tradition and the desire to make everyone feel a little more at home. Because, to them, a sweet break is never just a break: it is a way of taking care of people.
