    Average gelato place in Rome/Italy... I'm sure you will find better gelato places in Rome. But if you're dying to eat a gelato STAT this place will serve that purpose.

    Blue Ice had a variety of flavors that I thoroughly enjoyed and sampled. I ended up getting three flavors in a cup: nutella mix with cream (not full on nutella, but they offer that too!), banana, and melon! As weird as it sounds, it kind of all went together. It was about 4.50 euros for three scoops in a fairly moderate sized cup (I would not call it a large). My only complaint is that the workers would serve most of the Italian speakers before me and my friends, even if we arrived earlier.

    I came here more times than I care to admit! My favorite. Combo of lemon, yogurt and strawberry gelato - soooo yummy! Love Rome!

    Tiramisu and Chocolate with chips!

    Wasn't sure about the place until we saw the variety and decided to give it a go! The gelato was excellent! One of the side streets from the piazza Navona.

    Baileys ice cream!

    This place is great. The gelato is fresh made and just delicious! The customer service is always friendly and very personable. This place is inexpensive and stays open LATE. Like, past 12am. Very cool. So if you got the munchies late night, drop by this place. Good gelato, good pricing, great service ;)

The gelato was good too, though I had better during my brief trip to Rome, and also at a few gelato shops back home. I believe Otaleg is quite popular, but it was empty when we went on a chilly Monday afternoon in November. Service was fast and polite, and we took our gelato to the little piazza nearby, the Piazza di San Calisto. I got three scoops in a cup: hazelnut, pistachio, and the gelato of the day, ricotta cheese with almonds and grapes' reduction. The flavors were good. A nice hazelnut and I liked the slightly salty pistachio--there was another pistachio flavor, too, which was supposed to be sweeter. I didn't totally get the grape in the ricotta cheese flavor, but it was mild and pleasant. My husband got the coffee, which was excellent. I'm willing to allow that I may be used to a different style of gelato, but I wasn't totally sold on Otaleg's texture. It wasn't as lush and creamy as I like, and the ricotta flavor was borderline icy. That said, I inhaled my cup in about five minutes. I wouldn't go out of my way to check out Otaleg, but it's a solid place for a sweet treat while walking around Trastevere.

Your best bet is to get strategically lost down an alley that looks like it might lead to an ancient curse, and sniff out the smallest gelato joint imaginable. Like, if you can spot it without squinting, it's probably too big. Enter: Gelateria Regusto. No signs, no crowd, just a tiny counter and a couple of flavors that look like they were made by someone's Italian grandma who's been perfecting the recipe since the Roman Empire fell. I went rogue with caramel and pistachio, and let me tell you, this was gelato that whispered, not screamed. Creamy, subtle, and suspiciously low on sugar, like it trusted you to taste actual ingredients instead of just corn syrup. The pistachio didn't taste like a candle, and the caramel didn't slap you with sweetness. It was chill. 10/10 would stumble upon again while pretending not to need Google Maps.

Sure, they don't have as many flavors to choose from as other gelato places in the area but the flavors they do have are impeccable.

Our final night he told us about Vlad the Impaler since my friend was wearing a Dracula shirt lol. Only complaint would be that there is no where to sit to enjoy your gelato.

    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.

    tl;dr the classic yet sophisticated gelato comes at a premium, but nonetheless is worth a visit in…read morea pinch Among the most popular gelato brands is Gunther Gelato Italiano, the namesake of creamer Gunther Rohregger. Originally a carpenter and ski instructor, Rohregger followed his partner to Rome to establish his eponymous gelateria. While the most adventurous flavors have gradually been toned down, Gunther still promises the freshest seasonal ingredients in every scoop. I visited the shop just across the Tiber from Trastevere. Bright lights and electronic dance music poured from the storefront into the evening alleyway. The interior feels clean and modern. The whitewashed walls are decorated with Gunther-specific branding. The gelato display cuts diagonally through the room. A large mirror and minimal barstool seating are pressed into the corner. Generally, the flavors were sophisticated but traditional (although the fragrant Mugo Pine was an ambitious option), and the gelato was extra creamy but not overly sweet. The Morogoro Extra Chocolate was the gelato incarnation of the darkest chocolate imaginable, while the Ricotta Stregata was a masterclass in creamy simplicity. The Cafe Espresso leaned heavily into the espresso with crunchy espresso beans mixed in, while the deeply flavorful Pistachio was in need of chopped bits. The complementary waffle chip and wafer straw were a nice bit of texture, if not forgettable. Service was friendly; servers scooped countless samples without batting an eye. A 4-scoop Grander will set you back $7 for a total volume slightly larger than the size of your fist. While the gelato is certainly worth waiting for over the countless nondescript Roman gelaterias, Gunther doesn't quite measure up to the best-of-the-best.

With flavors like blue cheese chocolate, pine, kiwi, peppermint, wine, and others, this place is especially unique. Don't fret, though. If you're not down with those flavors they also have the normal flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and more. The best part of all is that they provide you with as many sample taste as you want. On that note, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Plus, they are very passionate about their creations of gelato. Go, and check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

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.
