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.

GELATERIA alla SCALA in Trastevere is the kind of gelato stop that turns an ordinary walk through…read moreRome's most charming neighborhood into something unforgettable. 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.

If you don't know what real gelato should look like check my photos. First it shouldn't be piled high into mountains. Secondly the colors should be natural. The banana and pistachio gelato in my photos are perfect representations. On to the tasting! My tour included one cone and I got two scoops of pistachio and licorice. We said our goodbyes to the tour and the gelato was so good I wanted more. We ended up getting an affogato and a few more scoops in a bowl the second time. This was very close to where Julius Caesar was assassinated so we walked over and checked it out. When done I couldn't resist and had to go back a third time as I really wanted to try the orange gelato. The owner laughed as he couldn't believe we were back again. The orange was so good! There was bits of orange skin and it tasted really fresh. When I'm back in Rome I will visit my new friend here at the Gelateria!

It's even better than Giolotti which had a huge line in Rome Centre. A friend recommended Fior di Luna, and we're so happy we tried it!! There is a large banner up front saying Fior di Luna's chef is the world champion of gelato, and now I believe it. We got three flavors: mango, lemon basil, and chocolate chip. Just so good. The lemon basil is shocking like a cold pesto almost, the mango creamy but also tart, and the chocolate chip perfection. The choco chip actually was my favorite, so beautifully creamy without being too sweet. Will be making another trip back to the Trastevere district for this!!! Highly highly recommend, will not disappoint!!!
