This was our second visit to Frigidarium, our first was on a previous visit to Rome several years…read moreago. 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.

My husband and I had dinner at a pizza spot adjacent to Frigidarium, so we couldn't help stop by…read morefor dessert. I remembered it also being highly recommended to me by one of my friends. 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.

I found it to be one of the better places when it comes to scoop to price ratio. We got 2 cones each with 3 flavors: coconut, pistachio, salted caramel were my favorite of the bunch. They also add whipped cream on top if you want.

I came for breakfast, so I had to purposely prevent myself from indulging on the sweets, and ordered a strawberry banana nutella crepe and strawberry kiwi pancake. Both were solid, and I enjoyed the service by the cook to take in any requests we had while he was cooking our food. Orange juice is also freshly squeezed, and one cup is approximately 5 oranges, so it was a good deal and a tasty drink.

Their flavors were so intense, they had a lot of fruity sherbet like flavors, not just the creamier ones that every other shop carried like tiramisu, coffee, Nutella etc. and you also got more for your buck. They are banana gelato was hands-down my favorite of all the ones I tried. Every time we went employees were very nice and attentive, I am not sure if they are a chain or a one off store, but we enjoyed it tremendously. The only drawback if I have to mention one is that they did not have outside seating, but they are in a busy street with no view, so he really doesn't matter. This ice cream is definitely wonderful!

Right beside our hotel…read more Lots of gelato options, granita, crepes, etc. I wouldn't say this is my ultimate favorite place to get gelato in Italy, but it was incredibly convenient. The gelato was still tasty and the employees here are very sweet and helpful. The Mango gelato was my favorite, tasted just like Mango Lassi. Yum! Their granita was a cool and refreshing treat on a hot summers day. After a full day of sight seeing, it was nice to grab a granita before going back to the hotel. The melon and strawberry granita had real pieces of fruit mixed within, which was delicious. Their Nutella crepe was awesome. The crepe had a perfect consistency and was prepared fresh. Filled with a generous serving of Nutella and topped off with powdered sugar. Excellent! There is counter seating inside and a TV. It's nice and cool in here too.
