In the past, I knew of Gelateria Navona, just a few doors up from the actual piazza, and that was…read moremy go-to place for gelato in Rome. Expecting it to be there one year, I walked over to Piazza Navona and Gelateria Navona had evidently closed. I would then get gelato here and there. I then learned that Giolitti is a long standing gelateria and it's also in the historic center. I filed the name away in my head. Then, one day, I happened to walk right in front of it without even looking for it, so I went in. Giolitti is popular and it can be crowded. I'm going to say that I waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You pay at a counter first, deciding on what you want and how much of it, such as scoops and whether it will be in a cup or a cone. Once up at the counter, they don't rush you, which surprised me. I don't take that much time since I don't experiment much, but I still appreciate the courtesy. The price is roughly what everyone else in the historic center is charging. I always opt for the gelato it in a cup so you can "control" the dripping. The gelato - a mix of dark chocolate and two citrus flavors - was "molto buono." That said, just because it's so popular, I'm not going to downgrade Giolitti for it and complain about the crowds. You downgrade gourmet donut places in the U.S. where their fame has gone to their heads. There is also a spacious salon with nicer decor in which you can eat inside. At this point, Giolitti is really the only gelateria in Rome whose name I remember. I would gladly go back and I recommend it.

My first brush with Neve di Latte was when we went to the MAXI, the Zaha Hadid designed modern art…read moremuseum. Their store was just around the corner--and perfect for a post-museum pick-me-up. Neve di Latte sells the best sorbetto we had in the entirety of Italy. (I'm non-dairy, but my husband felt the same way about the gelato flavors!) Their flavors are innovative and rely entirely on seasonal and local ingredients. I had pomegranate and blackberry on one visit, and coconut and mandarin on the second visit. Always say yes to a spoonful of homemade whipped cream on top. Both locations have space for perching while you eat, but just be sure to clean up the space behind you!

Really yummy tiramisu. Again the same lining system we've been seeing...pay at the counter, show…read morereceipt to get your goods. Quicky and easier than usual as it's more just pay, grab, and go. It's very rich, so I felt one order was good to share with a friend.

Also, coincidentally, my friend and I had just gone to Pompei earlier that day, and I thought it was cool the name of this place was similar =) Pompi's great because it has a large variety of goodies outside of traditional gelato on a cone. They have some yummy looking pastries and also have tiramisu cakes as well. However, decided to be safe and stuck with the pistachio and noccioloto flavors on a peanut-covered, chocolate-coated waffle cone. Cone was fresh and crunchy, and the ice cream was very rich - absolutely delicious! Furthermore, loved the service because they busted out the pistachio jar after I asked for extra nuts on my ice cream =) Awesome place to come back to!

Legendary Roman Ice Cream…read more * * * La Romana has been around since 1947. That does not make it the oldest gelateria by a long shot. But 1947 puts La Romana in the "senior class" for sure. That means almost 50 years of driving thousands of people insane with pleasure from utterly amazing ice cream. That is a good way to spend 50 years. * * * Most Italian Gelato places are very consistent. If one flavor is good, they all are good. If one flavor is fake or artificial, they all are fake and artificial. That said - despite La Romana's full range, The establishment is known for one distinctive flavor that is very much their signature. Crema dal 1947. Crema dal 1947 is absolutely and utterly insane. It is an eggnog custard gelato subtly flavored with lemon zest. It is the most creamy dreamy lemon cloud dessert every made by any human being. Just to get an appropriate placement within the lemon family, I paired it with a plain lemon gelato. Rome has absolutely amazing lemons. Plain lemon gelato almost anywhere is die-and-go-to-heaven good. Putting eggnog custard creamy dream Crema dal 1947 With bracing in-your-face screaming lemon-lemon-lemon traditional gelato Was like pairing Margot Robbie as Barbie with Amy Winehouse singing her soul out. Both were absolutely perfect for what they are. I want to have that ice cream cone tonight, tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that and every other consecutive day for the next consecutive 50 years. When La Romana becomes 100 years old, I can think about changing flavors. But it is hard to argue with perfect perfection.

If you've had gelato in Rome, you already know the standard is different--and Gelateria La Romana…read moreis one of those places that actually lives up to it. Everything tastes super fresh and creamy, and the flavors feel really authentic without being overly sweet or artificial. What I liked most is how consistent it is--whether you go for classics like pistachio or something more indulgent, it always tastes rich and high quality. It's the kind of spot where you can tell they really care about what they're making. The vibe is simple and focused on the gelato itself, not anything flashy, which honestly fits perfectly for a place like this. Always worth stopping by if you're in Rome and want proper gelato.

After visiting the Vatican Museum, we were going to dinner at Cacio e Pepe, but unfortunately they…read morewere closed so we instead went to a pizzeria nearby and had some amazing pizza! Then, we came here for dessert. This gelato was sooooooooo good! And the gentleman at the register was so sweet. He didn't speak much English, but he did his best and was very patient with us. I got the regular vanilla gelato dipped in white chocolate and was in heaven. It was a really hot day and we got the gelato in I cream stick form so things got a little messy, but so worth it! I'd definitely come back here, and they have free wifi :)
