Lei, senza alcuna prova, ci muove accuse pesantissime che danneggiano la nostra immagine. Pertanto, se entro 7 giorni a partire da oggi, non apporterà delle modifiche sostanziali alla sua recensione, rimuovendo la parte diffamatoria, saremo costretti a ricorrere alle vie legali" in quanto nell'unica giornata in cui ho preso il gelato lì (se così può chiamarsi) oltre ai dipendenti con voglia di lavorare sotto le scarpe c'è il fatto che dopo due bocconi ho buttato il gelato ho iniziato ad avere forti dolori e sudare freddo ho dovuto far guidare la mia macchina a mia madre di corsa per andare al primo autogrill perché ho pensato sinceramente di morire dai dolori provocati e mi spiace che il proprietario pensi di essere l'unico a fare il gelato su Roma e non saper ricevere critiche ma quel giorno non avevo mangiato altro se non appunto quei pochi bocconi del "gelato". Non dimenticherò mai quella sensazione ringraziasse che io non abbia fatto nulla giuridicamente parlando. Ma poi seriamente si minacciano le persone senza alcuna conoscenza giuridica per una stella su Google? Auguri per chi andrà a mangiare lì ma sinceramente anche fosse stato l'errore di quel giorno io con un proprietario che minaccia le di denunce non vorrei averci niente a che fare mai nella vita. Nei confronti per altro di una donna anzi una mamma che ha solo raccontato come sono andati i fatti preoccupata anche per tutto ciò che mi è successo. Rabbrividisco davanti a tutto ciò. Si preoccupasse meno del gelato e più di curare l'empatia e la sua umanità perché è così che si perde la reputazione essendo cattive persone.

Their cream flavor was SOO light and had a nice lemon taste to it. The pecan flavor was also amazing and had a good mix of sweet and a bit savory. Honestly would go back to this place every night!

Located in a more residential area of Rome, La Romana feels like a step above your average gelato…read moreshop, with a polished storefront and plenty of cute outdoor seating. Inside, the design is clean and modern, and it's bright, organized, and efficient even when crowded. The vibe is lively and indulgent, with a constant stream of customers, even when we arrived at around 9pm on a Thursday night. I've been told that the telltale sign of a touristy gelateria is when the gelato is piled-high and laden with toppings; this often means that it isn't replaced often, so it isn't fresh. There's none of that here; the gelato is tucked away beneath lids, most likely to retain the fluffiest, creamiest texture. There's menus in both Italian and English, with a variety of upscale, unique flavors, such as Coffee & Cardamom, Zabaglione, and even frozen yogurt! They're more than happy to let you sample, and there's plenty of options for your gelato, including cups, cones, and brioche rolls; there's also other items, such as crepes, coffee drinks, and more. We all ordered different flavors; even a small scoop (€4) comes with two flavors. I truly enjoyed my combination of flavors: Zabaglione (an Italian dessert with egg yolks, sugar, and a sweet wine) and Yogurt Miele e Noci (yogurt with honey and wanluts); the former was just boozy enough with a rich, custardy flavor, and the latter was tart yet herbal from the honey, and earth walnuts adding textural contrast. My friends also loved their flavors, particularly the fruity ones such as Lemon and Raspberry. Pricing is moderate for gelato, but nowhere near tourist traps in the more crowded areas of Rome; I think it's justified. Yes, it's a chain, but I can truly taste the high quality of the ingredients that they use, and their unique flavors that you can't find elsewhere. A great stop if you're in the area!

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.

As with most things in Italy, when it comes to gelato, quality is EVERYTHING. Italians are masters…read moreof food and are very particular in the way things are done. For starters, 'gelato' is not the Italian word for 'ice cream.' It translates to "frozen" or "freeze". It traces its roots all the way back to 1565, and its invention is attributed to a Florentine, Bernardo Buontalenti. It differs from a North American version in that it has more milk and less cream than we are used to and no egg yolks. It is also churned at a slower rate and served at a slightly higher temperature. This all makes gelato denser and smoother than hand-dipped ice cream. Because there is less milk fat, the flavors coat one's mouth and seem brighter and more intense. Located in the San Giovanni district of Rome, my partner, our friends, family member, and I decided to go to Freddo, meaning "cold" in Italian, for some local gelato. The first step to finding top-quality gelato is where many tourists fall victim. Any gelato one's eating should not be piled up so high that it resembles a mountain. Look for flat metal tins, which may have lids on them. This establishment uses only selected ingredients to elaborate their classic flavors and unique combinations. In order to obtain a natural product, they don't use emulsifiers, preservatives, dyes, industrial flavors, or hydrogenated or refined vegetable fats, which some of us got some frozen treats. They were so creamy with many delicious flavors and the best around. Portions were healthy, and the price was comparable to the area. The staff was friendly. As one plans an Italian trip, remember that gelato is more than just a treat: it's an experience.

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.
