An American couple, Nicole Ann and her partner, were shocked to receive a €44 bill for two ice creams at the Don Nino gelateria in Piazza Navona, Rome. They ordered two scoops priced at €12 each but were charged for three scoops per ice cream, along with additional costs for whipped cream, a macaron, and a cannolo, totaling €22 per ice cream. Frustrated, Nicole shared their experience in a Facebook group, describing the ice cream as the worst she had ever tasted and labeling the shop a 'tourist trap.' Many other tourists echoed her sentiments, recounting similar experiences of being overcharged in popular tourist areas. In a related incident, a couple from Lower Austria faced an unexpected 'glass surcharge' for their ice cream, which they claimed was not communicated when they ordered. The parlour owner stated that the surcharge was displayed outside but the couple insisted they did not see it. This highlights a growing concern over transparency and fairness in pricing for tourists in busy locales.
