Petrini was a good spot for some quick gelato. I went with the pistachio and biscotti flavors. The…read morepistachio was on par with the other gelatos I've tried. I will say the biscotti was the main hero, as it had more flavor to it than your average cookie gelato. The cone was also delicious, the perfect vehicle for the gelato. I wish the scoops were a bit bigger, but the quality was there. Can't go wrong with this place!

The first time I went to Petrini was in May 2016 with my mom. It was at the end of our Europe trip,…read moreso we had had our fair share of great gelato and ice cream. At least, that's what we thought until we tried Petrini's gelato. Basically, their gelato has ruined me for any other gelato and ice cream. I dreamed about coming back for YEARS. I finally did that just last week while I was in Rome for three days. In fact, I went twice during my short stay! This time, we brought my sister and dad along. They agreed: Petrini's gelato is the best one we've had, overall. They have a great selection of flavors, from your standard pistachio to moringa. Their fruit-flavored gelatos are AMAZING. Also, the prices are so reasonable - anywhere from €2 to €4 (and that's for an obscene amount of gelato). It's definitely cheaper than the prices I paid for gelato in the center of the city. The cone for the first three sizes has the perfect taste and thickness - you don't have to worry about your cone getting too soggy. They use a different cone for the largest size, but I didn't like that as much. You also have the option to have your gelato topped with whipped cream, which I've only encountered in one other gelateria. My favorite flavors are the pistachio, crocante, and strawberry. I've had moringa, mango, and raspberry as well, and they were also great! I wouldn't say that Petrini has the most innovative flavors, but they nail all of the flavors they do offer. If the store isn't too busy, you can also try samples. If the store is busy, then you have to queue up to pay first before you can order your gelato. All in all, you can't go wrong by going to Petrini. The only wrong you can do is by NOT going to Petrini! I will continue to go back every time I'm in Rome, regardless of how far away I am. It's THAT good.

Enter and pay for your order at the cashier on the left first, then line up to make your choice(s). Our kids wanted to go because Zendaya and Tom Holland love it here. They have good taste! We had the following flavours: dark chocolate and sour cherry (vegan), pistacchio, nocciola (hazelnut), gianduja (hazelnut & chocolate), raspberry, coffee. All were delicious!

I had a regular cup of mango and coconut gelato with some whip cream on top. The flavors for both were so rich and fresh! Your taste buds will most definitely thank you. Nothing tasted fake from these two flavors and that goes for the other flavors they have here. I went the more fruity route and was not disappointed. If you want a sweeter flavor, you cannot go wrong. Just try a flavor out! The place is clean, casual, and comfortable. There is also a nice outdoor seating area to enjoy your gelato in the sun. The staff are so nice and respectful. Even if you do not speak Italian, you can get by with English as the staff can understand a little. Fresh, rich, and tasty gelato is definitely at Gelatario! Spoil yourself here and even have a sweet time with friends or family.

We left pizza forum and walked right next door to Costanza, not very large place. Line was out the door but moved swiftly. I'm not big on sweets but when in Rome... u know the rest.

It was very good highly recommend you try this place.

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.

Unfortunately, the three or four times I have tried it, I have been underwhelmed. Most egregiously, this is one of the few places in Rome I have ever been served by someone who has forgotten what it means to be hospitable. If you like your gelato with a side of bad attitude, come here. On top of that, flavors are too strong, the gelato lacks richness, and it melts immediately - not kept at cold enough temperature? Better off walking a little further to Otaleg - I found it far more satisfying.
