Hazelnut with fructose is SUCH good vegan gelato. Usually the only vegan option at gelato places is sorbet, so this was really awesome. Convenient how every flavor is marked with allergy info. read more

Fatamorgana - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

I mean like... I knew Italy would be the best spot for gelato but DAYUUUUUUMM... The gelato from Fatamorgana was amazing. I came here on a food tour and this was one of our dessert stops. I honestly forgot the name of this place. Fat was the only word that sticked and it was the fat gelato place for a long time. If you're a fan of simple, few and quality ingredients in your gelato, then you need to stop reading this review, hop on a plane and head straight to Rome. My gelato peeps... This place will put Amorino to shame... And I like Amorino gelato. Honestly the key to my soul was finding a WHOLE chunk of hazelnut in their hazelnut gelato. Like I know there is like a shortage of hazelnuts pero like, damn... A triple plus for delivery. read more

Fatamorgana - Yo look at that hazelnut!!! Have you ever seen one before it becomes cocoa blood for Nutella?! NUM. - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

See all

Extremely unique flavors and a great price - 2.50/ small cone with two flavors. It's also located very close to Cavour, so it is pretty central. We went there at least twice during our time in Roma. Highly recommend! read more

Hands down my favorite ice cream/gelato place in the ENTIRE WORLD. My boyfriend and I stayed closeby for 5 days or so and we went here literally EVERY DAY. Most times twice a day. We always see this very friendly ice cream man and he remembers us and always says hi. He was prob thinking "Here comes those regularly scheduled fat Americans," but whatever, the gelato is delicious. I recommend getting their Thumbelina flavor, it is made with walnuts and rose. My boyfriend loves the pistachio, very chunky and flavorful. We tried most of the flavors here and did not find a single one that we did not like. They also have a basil and honey flavor, oddly delicious. Apricot is also tasty. If you are craving gelato after visiting the Colosseum, or if you are in Monti, this place is definitely worth the visit. There is also a nasoni right in front for drinking/washing your sticky face after face planting into some tasty af gelato. read more

I like to think the best things in life are simple and uncomplicated, that these moments are so pure, none of the bullshit of everyday life could possibly contaminate. This is how I feel about Gelateria Fatamorgana. It was by far the best gelato I had during my two months in Italy. I liked Giolitti. I loved Corona. Old Bridge was alright. But Fatamorgana won me over with its amazing flavors, fresh flavors and its beautiful location in Monti. I tried the basil with honey and walnuts and the Syrian pistachio, enjoyed along the stone wall in Piazza degli Zingari. The lamps of Monti illuminated the warm Roman night as a couple sat to my left, a family with children to my right. I enjoyed those two flavors as slowly as possible. A dream. I could not have picked a better final gelato moment in Rome. read more

Had gelato here after dinner! They have tons of flavors at this place! I got the baklava and ricotta in a cup! Those flavors were super delish!!! I do not like chocolate gelato and they sure did have several options of those, wish places had more sorbets, but they had a huge selection! :) read more

Fatamorgana - Baklava and ricotta gelato - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

Really great gelato! Had the basil walnut honey flavour mixed with Prince's kiss (whole walnuts with fudge). Highly recommend it!! read more

I tried several gelaterias during our stay in Rome. But Fatmorgana topped them all. It is conveniently located across the street from our apartment in Monti. How cool is that??? The flavors are all interesting and unique. ZABAIONE MOSCATO E FRAGOLINE and the ZABAIONE ALLO SHERRY-BRANDY E ARANCIA were my favorite. The staff was friendly and helpful. The reasonable pricing was a plus as well. read more

Holy Fataorgasma Batman! Location: I think the neighborhood is still considered to be Monti but really, with all these tiny, winding streets, who the hell knows. The place: Tiny. More like a storefront, really, with no organized line. Take your spot and stand firm - Italians have no issues with bypassing you if you let them! Gelato: Fatamorgana is one if the top places to check out if you want authentic gelato sourced from local and organic ingredients. They have a few locations around town. I ordered the strawberry with almonds and Estasie. The strawberry/almond was amazing, with real strawberries and plenty of almonds. The Estasie was a combo of chocolate and coffee and other stuff that I cannot recall because I was too absorbed in the awesomeness of my gelato. They do offer many flavors so I'll have to go back often. Note: Gelato shouldn't be piled high in the displays - this means there's a lot of air in there to make it all poofy. As well, if the mint or pistachio are bright green and the banana is yellow, that gelato ain't authentic so go elsewhere. Price: 1€ pet scoop. I took off a star because the guy demanded 'money' - apparently the 5€ note is Monopoly money to him. Check it! read more

Truly great. This was our second favorite gelato place. A little hard to find, but the flavors were worth it! So many to choose from, I had a little trouble deciding, but eventually got mint, milk and cookies and peanuts. The mint, milk and cookies tasted fresh and could see the small specks of mint. The peanuts was also good. My mom got blueberry which I tried and enjoyed. I would recommend this place read more

Fatamorgana - Mint, milk and cookies; peanuts both very good. - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

This place is the goods! Some of the best gelato in Rome, if not the world, and I've eaten enough gelato recently to be an authority on the matter! My partner had the soft fruit, which sounds boring, but tastes exactly like extremely ripe red fruit and was such an intense flavour. His second scoop (of which I tried also) was horseradish, which again was delicious and so exactly like horseradish it was quite bizarre. Gelato never usually tastes so much like what they're supposed to be based on, but these ones do. I had a scoop of hazelnut and pistachio and it was again incredible. Pistachio has to be up there with the best flavours of all time. They appear to run out of flavours in the late afternoon. We witnessed one Roman have almost a total breakdown as her favourite flavour wasn't there when she arrived, so get in early. 2.50 Euros for two small scoops in a waffle cone, then chill outside at the piazza afterwards with the locals. read more

There are a few things we missed while in Rome, like nachos and temperatures fit for life on Earth. But some things are ubiquitous, including gelato. Between Venice, Verona, and Rome we had gelato about a dozen times at maybe 10 different places, and Fatamorgana was my favorite. One example best demonstrates how good their gelato is; the mint chip had tiny bits of mint in it. Real mint. The green stuff. I've never seen that in gelato before; it's usually an extract. I know it's become a "foodie" cliche (God I hate that word), but this place uses fresh ingredients, and the result is an artisanal delight (that sounded pretentious too, sorry!). We visited the shop in the Monti neighborhood, and that was a bonus. Great location, great vibe to the neighborhood. We were amongst mainly locals, rather than a throng of tourists which was a nice change. So wherever you're staying in Rome, it's worth the short walk or cab ride to visit one of their shops. read more

On the first day of a thirteen day tour of Italy with fifteen art students and four adults, this was our first gelato stop of many to come. It was the best we had all trip! Creative flavors and local atmosphere made our visit here a great tone setter for the whole time we were in Italy. All my students agree, it was the best! read more

Having tried Giolitti (all hype and touristy but very average flavors- I had to throw half of it away), Gracchi (decently good Gelato), Grom (my 2nd favorite- I liked the flavors and texture- although perhaps a little more fatty than Fatamorgana) ... I think the Fatamorgana gelato flavors are the best! The Location closer to Spagna is a tiny one, and not too busy, but it delivers in terms of quality! I loved the basil-walnut-honey and the superb orange flavors. Wish I could try all of them !! read more

Fatamorgana - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

By far the best gelato I had in Italy. It was a little difficult to find but was so glad that I didn't just give up half way! The gelato flavors were so unique and were just so fresh! Don't be intimidated by the amount of ingredients listed in some flavors, try ad many as you'd like before deciding. There isn't any place to sit, but most stand/sit outside and the atmosphere is just fantastic. They have franchises in the US, though I'm not sure how they compare. read more

Very good gelato. But the server taking our order was oblivious of what we asked him, which was a MEDIO, Medium, not a PICCOLO, which he gave us. It wasn't a language thing, just kind of unconscious or distracted. read more

I've been to 3 different gelato places and this one was my favorite. It was recommended by our waitress at tre scalini. I got the cheesecake and tiramisu, Aubs got chocolate and cookie and cream. You really can't go wrong here, there were pieces of tiramisu cake and cheesecake in my gelato, so good. read more

Delicious, fresh gelato from natural ingredients. We loved it!

Was directly across from our hotel and fortunately we only went once, otherwise i would have just eaten every meal here, even though it's only gelato. BEST GELATO IN MY LIFE! GO! Staf was very friendly and spoke English very well. read more

If you want to try something other than the basic flavors of gelato, this is the place to go! Basil, honey and walnut gelato - your taste buds will go crazy. Apple, cinnamon and almond - yummy! Fennel, honey & licorice - believe it or not, very tasty. The woman that worked ther read more

Fatamorgana can easily hold its own weight in a fight against the trendiest ice cream joints in the US. There are some pretty interesting gelato flavors here, and the flavors are incredibly potent - I was able to sample my family's gelatos from lavender to coffee to chocolate/lapsang souchong, and it's as if you're eating the actual food in gelato form. Some of them were a little perfume-y (especially the floral ones), but the coffee gelato is seriously too good to not try. I accidentally ordered sorbetto (I was confused as to why it was so icy until it dawned on me...), but the fruity blends were a perfect way to enjoy the cool Roman night breeze. I was pleasantly surprised at how nuanced all of the flavors were - you can taste the hints of ginger, basil - just really pleasantly refreshing. Fatamorgana is quite affordable, and the employees were kind enough to humor my butchered Italian. Definitely worth stopping by for some great gelato and sorbetto! read more

When in Rome, get gelato at Fatamorgana! We had a lot of gelato during our Europe trip, but no other shop had such unique and delicious flavors. The flavors were intense (all local/organic ingredients - you can taste the difference), and the gelato was just the right consistency. Even after tasting the first few that caught my eye, it was hard to narrow down my choices. I seriously just wanted to try them all! The rose petal with black rice and pistachio gelatos were my top two. I loved the texture that the black rice and pistachio pieces gave. There is no seating inside, but there are a few benches outside. The tiny shop is also a bit off the beaten path, but it is SO worth it when you find it! read more

I had the pistachio and fiordilatte and my husband had the pistachio and the coconut. All 3 flavors were divine. Fatamorgana lives up to its reputation! read more

This place has a great assortment of super inventive flavors! Ask for a few tastes before buying! read more

Some very unique flavors. "Thought, chocolate and orange , ginger hazelnut. All 3 very unique and widely different. Thought was grapefruit and although it was a tad bitter from the grapefruit, you couldn't help go back for more. read more

Fatamorgana - Heaven in a cup. - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

Definitely not my favorite gelato place in Rome but worth trying! As it was fairly close to where we were staying, my family and I decided to walked here after dinner to try it out. I didn't realize that it was a "healthy" gelato store (gluten, egg, sugar, etc. -free) and so my expectations were pretty low (how can something sugar-free ever taste good?). The workers were friendly and there was an outside seating area in front of the store. I ended up getting a small cup (€2.50) which allowed for two flavors. I'm basic so I got vanilla and hazelnut. Like I said, it wasn't anything spectacular but still pretty tasty. I'd come back since it was so close by but I think you can get more for a better price elsewhere. read more

I bookmarked this place before heading to Italy and i did not realize how close it was from the Air bnb I stayed at on my last night in Rome. This place was the best gelato spot that I went to in Rome! They had so many flavors, I could not wrap my head around how it could be gelato! From carrot cake to blueberry cheesecake! The gelato is freshly made everyday with the freshest ingredients. The worker was very nice and laughed as we made it back a 2nd time in a matter of minutes. As she presented us with our last cup of gelato, she smiled and said, "See you tomorrow!" I wish that were the case. If I had found that spot my first day in Rome I would probably have gone there every single day. It is a must try! read more

Great gelato and both the pistachio and Madagascar chocolate are really tasty. Grab a few flavors and then go wander the streets people watching and eating your gelato as there are no seats inside. read more

Amazing selection of unique flavors you cannot find elsewhere. Rosebuds, violets, and walnuts? I'm in!

The gelatos here are very refreshing and delicious! This was my first time visiting this shop but I went back because there were so many flavors and all were so good read more

Wooow!!! Never had any better ice cream than here. Went here twice. Go for any flavor, it's all exceptional!

This is where you go for creative, rather than traditional flavors, including basil, walnuts & honey; ricotta cheese & citrus; baklava (walnuts, almonds & spicy caramel) and even capers --or black olives! They are very patient here, so taste away with the exotic flavors til you find your fave indulgence. They have a number of locations in Rome. read more
