    We love him ask for  Francisco

    On our honeymoon, me and My Husband come back here every single day. The waiter Francisco is amazing. The bartender Nikolai is amazing. Haley suggest you come here for dis regarding. The reviews, these people are amazing and the drinks are so good. I highly suggest the espresso martini and the whiskey sour.

    Extremely good pizza very fresh sauce with a crunchy crust with every bite. Very welcoming staff made sure we liked everything we ordered. And didn't mind that we only spoke a little bit of Italian. Very clean bathrooms. The decor was exactly what you would expect eating in a street side Restaurant will absolutely go back

    Very expansive for small portions. 12 dollars for a Caesar salad that was 5 bites and also did not taste good. The good thing is it's close to the Vatican.

    Incredible gelato with Hugh servings and great choices just 2 blocks from St Peters square!

    This casual restaurant is located a couple blocks away from the Vatican and surprises with some delicious plates. We were walking the area with the intent of finding a taxi back to our hotel and saw this place and decided to stop for a bite to eat (and perhaps a glass of wine...or two). There was a sidewalk table available which we pounced on. Our multilingual waiter first took our drink order (a liter of water and a liter of wine) and soon returned to take my lunch order of lasagna. He let me know I wouldn't be disappointed. I wasn't. I admittedly had better elsewhere in Italy but this still topped anything I've ever had in the U.S. It will come as no surprise that I then decided to have dessert and was handed a large dessert menu full of gelato treats. I chose the "After Eight" which consisted of dark chocolate gelato, whipped cream, chocolate chunks (both white and dark), chocolate sauce, strawberries, mint topping and cookies. Our waiter was delighted that I ordered this decadent treat and I received envious stares from nearby tables when it arrived. Or maybe they felt embarrassed for me, a grown man acting like a kid. Regardless, it was even better than it looks or sounds. I loved every bite. Prices were excellent, food was delicious, and service was superb. I highly recommend this place as a casual place to dine.

    We stopped at this place after leaving the Vatican tour. We were hot and hungry and this was the perfect spot. Roberto welcomed us in and was very attentive the entire time. We started with big beers for the men, a cocktail for my friend and I had an aperol spritz. For food we started with a couple of their bruschetta trios. The olive bruschetta was my personal favorite, but the fresh tomato and artichoke were also so tasty! The ham and mushroom pizza was a great choice; the crust was nice and crispy and the ingredients so fresh; especially the tomato sauce. The Caesar salad was delicious. Highly recommend this place both for friendly service and delicious food.

    We came here from our visit to the Vatican and St. Peter's square. I was drawn in from the delicious smell of the gelato! When walking in, you notice all of the colorful gelato and other treats. I walked up to try a sample and was asked to pay first then being the receipt over. I noticed this is a standard practice around most take away places in Rome. I got the cookies and cream with the chocolate. The small portion is a nice portion. That gelato was so delicious and fluffy! It is hard to describe. I have tried other gelatos where is is more watery than creamy. This seemed more creamy based. I really enjoyed the flavor, and it hit the spot!

    Food quality mediocre at best. Service stinks. And they add a service charge for each person. Highly recommend against.

Your best bet is to get strategically lost down an alley that looks like it might lead to an ancient curse, and sniff out the smallest gelato joint imaginable. Like, if you can spot it without squinting, it's probably too big. Enter: Gelateria Regusto. No signs, no crowd, just a tiny counter and a couple of flavors that look like they were made by someone's Italian grandma who's been perfecting the recipe since the Roman Empire fell. I went rogue with caramel and pistachio, and let me tell you, this was gelato that whispered, not screamed. Creamy, subtle, and suspiciously low on sugar, like it trusted you to taste actual ingredients instead of just corn syrup. The pistachio didn't taste like a candle, and the caramel didn't slap you with sweetness. It was chill. 10/10 would stumble upon again while pretending not to need Google Maps.

Sure, they don't have as many flavors to choose from as other gelato places in the area but the flavors they do have are impeccable. We did try some other gelato places throughout Rome but couldn't stop comparing them to Regusto. The staff is so nice. Each time we stopped in we had such a fun interaction with the staff. Our final night he told us about Vlad the Impaler since my friend was wearing a Dracula shirt lol. Only complaint would be that there is no where to sit to enjoy your gelato.

Tucked along the lively streets of Trastevere, this little spot delivers gelato with genuine craftsmanship and flavors that taste as authentic as the city around you. The first thing you notice is the freshness. Each flavor looks vibrant--not overly piled or artificially glossy--and you can tell everything is made with real ingredients. One spoonful confirms it: the gelato is creamy, smooth, and beautifully balanced. The fruit flavors burst with natural sweetness, especially the mango and strawberry, while the classics like pistachio, hazelnut, and chocolate showcase that rich, deep, true-to-ingredient taste that only well-made gelato can achieve. Their specialty flavors are equally impressive--unique without feeling gimmicky--and everything is served at the perfect temperature so the texture stays silky, not icy. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the cones have that fresh baked aroma that adds an extra layer of enjoyment. The staff is warm and welcoming, happy to offer suggestions, and patient even when you're debating between ten flavors that all look incredible. The atmosphere reflects Trastevere itself--relaxed, friendly, and full of character. Whether you're ending a meal, cooling off on a sunny Roman afternoon, or simply exploring one of the city's most spirited neighborhoods, GELATERIA alla SCALA is a sweet stop worth seeking out. A delicious reminder that some of Rome's best moments come in a cup--or a cone.

    tl;dr the classic yet sophisticated gelato comes at a premium, but nonetheless is worth a visit in…read morea pinch Among the most popular gelato brands is Gunther Gelato Italiano, the namesake of creamer Gunther Rohregger. Originally a carpenter and ski instructor, Rohregger followed his partner to Rome to establish his eponymous gelateria. While the most adventurous flavors have gradually been toned down, Gunther still promises the freshest seasonal ingredients in every scoop. I visited the shop just across the Tiber from Trastevere. Bright lights and electronic dance music poured from the storefront into the evening alleyway. The interior feels clean and modern. The whitewashed walls are decorated with Gunther-specific branding. The gelato display cuts diagonally through the room. A large mirror and minimal barstool seating are pressed into the corner. Generally, the flavors were sophisticated but traditional (although the fragrant Mugo Pine was an ambitious option), and the gelato was extra creamy but not overly sweet. The Morogoro Extra Chocolate was the gelato incarnation of the darkest chocolate imaginable, while the Ricotta Stregata was a masterclass in creamy simplicity. The Cafe Espresso leaned heavily into the espresso with crunchy espresso beans mixed in, while the deeply flavorful Pistachio was in need of chopped bits. The complementary waffle chip and wafer straw were a nice bit of texture, if not forgettable. Service was friendly; servers scooped countless samples without batting an eye. A 4-scoop Grander will set you back $7 for a total volume slightly larger than the size of your fist. While the gelato is certainly worth waiting for over the countless nondescript Roman gelaterias, Gunther doesn't quite measure up to the best-of-the-best.

    Take the advice given on flavors to try. Delicious and classic gelato. The strawberry was delicious.read more

In that review I warned gelato keeps melting even though it is covered in a chocolate shell. This time when I received my Black Cherry with a chocolate shell, I quickly took my photo and broke into my treat. Still got a little messy on a particularly hot day, but not totally out of control. Even eating quickly I really enjoyed my gelato with those broken pieces of chocolate shell. This previously very popular spot had no line this time, good timing for us. There is no seating so expect to be eating on your feet. We looked forward to a return visit and they did not disappoint.

Frigidarium had a small storefront with room for a few guests at a time. Our timing was lucky, because we had arrived ahead of a big crowd. When I ordered and looked over my shoulder I saw that the line was snaking around the corner. Service was fast though, so people were in and out considerably quickly. I ordered the Frigidarium flavor and one that looked like a berry vanilla swirl with chocolate bits. I'm sure my mouth dropped when they asked if I wanted white chocolate, milk chocolate, or whipped cream at no additional charge. Based on the flavor palate I got white chocolate that becomes a hard shell when poured on. Loved everything about my gelato. I enjoyed both flavors with the white chocolate, and I got a bonus chocolate cookie from the Frigidarium flavor.
