ice cream in rome Hi ice cream lovers. Are you traveling to Rome and you think gelato is amongst top reason to make the trip? :-)

Find a great list of our favorites where you’ll find the best gelato in Roma.

GELATERIE:

Gelateria “Fassi”: via Principe Eugenio, 65/67
Near Termini station, amongst the biggest and most famous gelaterias of Rome.

Gelateria “San Crispino”: Via della Panetteria 42.
Near the Trevi Fountain, (there is also a location on Via Acaia, 56 outside the walls). Closed Tuesday. Some think this is the finest gelateria in Rome. Yes, it is wonderful, with intense flavors. No cones, only cups. Try the special favor zabaione (kind of like eggnog) made by 50-year barrel-aged Marsala … unmissable…. You may also want to try other San Crispino flavors such as fruits, nuts, or the licorice! The ultimate!

Gelateria “Da Giolitti”: Via Uffici dei Vicario 40. Near the Pantheon.
Excellent gelato but too many flavors to choose from cones and cups to go, or sit in a real ice cream parlor room in back for mountainous sundaes. Be ready to queue… as the place is always crowded, especially at night. Nice ice-cream parlor you can sit at and savor your gelato but be prepared to pay double. Wonderful the rich and creamy marron glacé (chestnut) flavor.

Gelateria “Pellacchia”: - Via Cola di Rienzo, 111

    Great, it’s 10 a.m. and now I’m craving ice cream. :)

    While there are a handful of great Italian gelato places in Toronto but Rome is clearly the mecca.

    Let’s not forget the delicious Gelateria dei Gracchi on Via dei Gracchi 27. This place ties with San Crispino for Best Gelato EVER.
