The cappuccino was delicious... this is really how it should taste so if and when In Italy this is the place to do a sit down cappuccino. Of course you can grab and go at the bar located in the lobby of the cafe or just stand at the bar and enjoy your cappuccino. Seems like the locals go here too. We felt like locals!!!

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 friends and I came here for a nice little nightcap after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. You know that they had good gelato when there was a crowd on a somewhat chilly night! I ordered a small cone with caffé, tiramisu, and nocciola (hazelnut) for 3,00€. Deliciously good stuff!

A bit on the sweet side but not as much as other gelato locations near by. Service is quick and friendly. Long lines on occasion but moves quickly.

Many people have a favorite gelato place in Rome, and this is mine. There's this location in…read moreTrastevere, one in Centro Storico, and one in Monti. A decent gelato place has fresh, standard flavors like chocolate, pistachio, or stracciatella. A good gelato place has interesting flavors like lavender, basil, or pear. A superb gelato place, like Fatamorgana, combines multiple interesting flavors in *one* flavor. My favorite Fatamorgana flavors at the moment are: * Rose petals, violet flowers, and walnuts * Lavender flowers and wood strawberries * Carrot cake * Chestnut and myrtle ...I don't even know what myrtle is, but I know I like it.

Our guide said this is his favorite gelato spot, owing to the creativity of flavors and rotating menu offerings. We liked it so much we went back once on our own. They were busy both times, with a line out the door, but the people working were friendly and patient (which was especially noticeable on our first visit, when a group of 10 tourists wandered in after a few hours drinking, eating and drinking our way through the town.) The did have some interesting flavor combos lined up for us to try, but I went with the flavors I craved. Everything was tasty and creamy, and the serving sizes were generous. They offered whipped cream on top of each portion as well, which we passed on, the gelato was yummy and creamy enough without the added cream. The shop is tiny (explains the line) but clean, and they do a good job of labeling each of the vats of gelato they have on display. Definitely a winner, and seemed to be quite popular with locals.

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.
