Best Gelaterias in Rome

While Italy might best be known for delicious pasta and wine, it too has one more treat that tickles the taste buds quite like no other. We’re talking, of course, about its delectable gelato. This creamier form of ice cream has flavors much more rich than you might be used to and shops selling it can be found on nearly every street corner in Rome.

Ciampini

For excellent old-school gelato look no further than one of the oldest gelaterias in all of Rome, Ciampini. You won’t find flashy flavors in this joint, but all the traditional ones are here including chocolate and pistachio. It’s located right near the Pantheon, so perfect for visitors.

Gelateria del Teatro

Teatro expanded in recent years but the delicious flavors still taste the same. It’s known for its creative flavors like white chocolate and basil so come here for something creative.

I Caruso

At I Caruso, all of the gelato is made on the spot. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors a little quirky. Their fruit gelatos are by far the best around and it’s located just a short walk from the Termini.

Gelarmony

Most people don’t realize that even within Italy there are different types of gelato, with one of the most delectable being Sicilian. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Gelarmony and with more than 60 flavors and other excellent treats like cannoli and cassata siciliane it’s a must-have.
