On a nice warm day, who can pass up a really good gelato? Service was good, they had a nice variety of flavors. We first thought this was going to be our go to for gelato every night, but there hours weren't correct on there door, everyone we passed this place it was closed and weird hours, so we at least got to try them once and have no complaints. Hopefully the owner can update there hours. read more

The service was ok, and most of the ice cream was just pretty average. But. The flavor "snow white". Get it. If you are anywhere in the area, stop here and get Snow White. Vanilla with raspberry sauce and apple chunks. It is unbelievable how good this is. It won this place a whole two extra stars. I am begging you. GET SNOW WHITE. read more

The long line confirms that Fatamogana is the best Gelato in Rome. I at it every day in the city--3 times and so much better than other gelatos I had at other companies throughout the metropolitan area. I liked the Oreo Creme, sweet milk cream and the sherbet. Enjoy, the lines move fast and the price is right. read more

Delicious gelato with some unusual flavors, but not being able to taste them made me stick with known flavors. I had passion fruit and melon and both were very good, but I've had a more intense melon gelato before and this one didn't measure up. Serving was a bit smaller, too, but for 3 euros I won't complain! read more

My partner and I visited a few different Fatamorgana locations during our time in Rome because they had a huge range of non-dairy, no-egg options for gelato and sorbet to choose from. Each location offered a slightly different variety of flavors but every single flavor we tried was fantastic and super unique. The staff was friendly at each location, patiently waiting for us to make our decision for which flavors we wanted to try. Each flavor is also labeled clearly with what ingredients it contains as well as an Italian and English description. 12/10 would recommend to everyone I know. read more

The location is quaint not too large like most places here . The staff was kind and worked fast to provide my items . I indulged in the cheese cake gelato and omg it was beyond amazing . I probably visited this place a total of 3 times on my trip . Absolutely cannot wait to return read more

Re: Giarda Multiple locations https://giadzy.com/travel/giadas-guide-to-rome-italy/ one of the first gelaterias in Rome to create truly artisanal gelato, made only with fresh, natural, seasonal ingredients among the very few that played with unusual flavors like Kentucky tobacco and Seadas (a Sardinian dessert made of cheese, orange peel, and fried dough) read more

Easily my favorite gelato in Rome, but also because it was the only gelato I tried in Rome, and only wanted to go back here every single time ! We ate here 4 times in three days, and I loved every single scoop. My favorite flavors were banana and black sesame crisp (the shards of black sesame make me soon!), pistachio which were different than other versions I've had in Italy because it featured chunky bits of nuts, and the pineapple and ginger sorbet - so freakishly refreshing and delightful. My friend couldn't stop raving about the orange and dark chocolate flavor as well. Must go! read more

We lived in Rome for 3 months and did a lot of gelato tasting, and this ended up being one of our favorites. Locally-sourced, organic, seasonal flavors made daily. My favorite was cilegia and birra (cherries and beer). Located on an amazing small piazza in the heart of Rione Monte, one of the most interesting districts with great local businesses. Short striking distance, but mentally a world away, from the craziness and heat at the Coliseum and the Forum. Small fountain in the piazza is great for fresh, cold water, and even some splashing for small children. A great stop on your late afternoon/early evening passeggiata or after dinner stroll through Rome. It is custom to ask to taste flavors before ordering: Posso assaggiare = can I have a taste. Con panna=with cream. Due gusti=two flavors, Coppa=cup, Cono=cone. Don't forget grazie=thank you. Learning Italian fruit flavors is a great way to teach kids a little Italian. Tip: If visiting in summer, walk up to and over the Campidoglio at night after having your gelato. Late evening summer events are sometimes programmed in this space and it is amazing! We stumbled across the Italian national fencing team performing in the Campidoglio on live national TV after getting gelato at midnight during the week. read more

Now with a location in Los Angeles, Gelateria Fatamorgana first expanded inside Rome itself, and although both scoops and storefront in Monti are small the Gelateria that hashtagged #naturallygood has become a destination for both freshness as well as purity. The brainchild of Chef Maria Agnese, her dedication to the art of flavors dating to a childhood in the kitchen with mom, it is inside the shop at Piazza degli Zingari 5 that guests will find ideas built on "No Tricks, Just Nature," novelties like Almond Flower set adjacent standards such as Stracciatella for €1.50 a scoop. "Motivated by curiosity," and seasonally focused on the globe's bounty, it is after perusing some 36 flavors that guests are encouraged to choose, Lactose-free Amarena Cherry vibrant atop Sicilian Pistachio without any added sweetness while Stracciatella and Dark Chocolate "Estasi" both focused on textural contrast, the latter by way of bitter Coffee Beans and toasted Hazelnuts. read more

I was not impressed w the vegan options, it was my first gelato place in Rome and yes the dietary needs are clearly stated but there are limited options for vegans. I ordered the chocolate and the pumpkin flavor, both tasted watered down with not much intense flavor to them. There was no line but I visited the establishment at 830pm. read more

4.5 stars Delicious gelato! There is no seating available inside. There are a few benches in front of the shop. Service was friendly and quick. The prices are great and they have a wide variety of flavors. The flavors we tried were all very flavorful. The consistency is just right, smooth, creamy, well blended and light. Naturally flavored and made with quality ingredients. Yum!! read more

They have lots of flavors, some of which aren't often found. I chose two flavors: basil and pineapple with ginger. I really like that they write the main ingredients and have labels for intolerance for each flavor: gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, nut-free and sugar-free. The tastes are very good. I was about to have another gelato to try different flavors until... I saw that when serving another customer, they used the same scoop for two flavors which were next to each other. I did not notice that when they served my gelato because my two flavors were quite far from each other so they use different scoops. I prefer having a dedicated scoop for each flavor so that the flavors do not potentially mix into each other (even slightly). That is why I give them 4 stars. It is a very small gelateria. However, the outside is a small piazza with some benches and a drinking fountain. The piazza is located in a quiet area. All the people sitting there came for the gelato. Nice atmosphere. read more

Fatamorgana - This is half of all gelato flavors - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

A quaint little gelato shop with all kinds of flavors. I tried, their guinia( I think that's how you spell it), it tastes like chocolate and hazelnut, sorta like nutella, but better; the wasabi chocolate and the peach mixed with port wine and raspberry(?). Sorry wasn't really paying much attention to the exact ingredients, the amount of ice cream offered a kind of distracted me. So... In the end, we decided on getting.... None of what we tried... Loooool, I'm sure the gelaterian was like wth... But the flavors we tried just weren't all that too my liking, the wasabi chocolate was really weird, it was literally it's name, a first punch of wasabi then the chocolate flavors slowly crept up. So anyhow, not going to go into why I didn't choose those flavors.... I ended up getting the white almond and dark chocolate. Omg, I was so glad I ditched those previous flavors. These weren't that sweet, and there were little shreds of almond in the white almond ice cream, not to mention these were the none American almonds, which tastes better in dessert. The sweetness from the almonds mixed with the bitterness of the dark chocolate was amazing! The dark chocolate was real dark, and really good. So to wrap things up, this place is amazing, if I find my way back here, I hope I will be able to come back! read more

Natural, small production (although they've gotten bigger over the years) gelato. They were one of the first to be strict with their quality control and even though they have several locations, the quality remains high. Fatamorgana has not just a lot of flavor options but unique ones as well. But rest assured you will always find your cafe, fragole, Nocciola in addition to figs, cake and many more! This location has a couple of benches and a fountain outside the small shop. read more

Definitely gourmet gelato. Sure they advertise gluten-free, healthy, wholesome etc etc, but don't be deceived. This is tasty stuff! I was doing my happy food dance and didn't want to stop eating it to even put on my jacket though it was cool outside! Incredibly creative flavors that go well even though they may give you pause. The most amazing gelato flavors. The ones I tried... Thought: pink grapefruit, ginger root, horseradish, caramelized lemon. YUM! My fav Thumbelina: Sorrento walnuts, rose petals, violets. Punch Paradise: strawberries of Terracina, white wine, lemon. Sacripante: coffee with Amaretti and rum. There are several locations around Rome. And you can buy gelato by the KILO for 23€! 5 scoops for 5€ seemed like the best deal bc I got 4 scoops for 4.50€ and was sad when it was over, wishing I had gotten a fifth flavor! #regret read more

My favorite gelato in Rome using the freshest ingredients. Hard to believe that their gelato is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free. Truly unique flavors ranging from basil with walnuts to peaches and wine. Employees are kind and portions generous. The bonus? Free water fountain located right outside the shop. Very accessible from the train too. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rome, especially after a visit to the Colosseum or Roman Forum! read more

Fatamorgana - Melon + Basil with walnuts! - Gelato Near Me - Rome, RM

The tastiest, most unique and fun gelato flavors in all of Rome. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy going to Fatamorgana every time I'm lucky enough to visit the Monti area. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the brash flavors and always leave wanting more. If I had one negative to add, it would be to avoid getting a frappe, very little gelato was included and as a result, almost no flavor other than frothy milk. But if you're lucky enough to be there when there's cherry tobacco or Thumbelina (with rose petals!), go for it and let your tastebuds have their vacation too. read more

We were turned on to this place by the YouTube channel The Roman Guy. So glad we did. Truly unique among all of the handmade gelato we tried in Italy. The flavors are fantastic and you can taste the excellence and craftsmanship. The service was friendly and efficient. My fiancé couldn't decide on her last flavor so she asked the server what his favorite was and he smiled and added it. Nice touch. Do yourself a favor, do not miss this gem while in The Monti or even make a trip over after seeing the Colosseo. It's worth the short walk. Update, the review above was yesterday. We came back again and I tried the black cherry, Madagascar chocolate and banana ginger. Even better than yesterday. Tasty, complex and not too sweet. Love this place. read more

Ugh this was literally just such a disappointment. The first thing that my friend and I wanted to do when we landed in Rome was eat gelato. We arrived in Piazza Venetia and immediately Yelped for a place to eat. Even though this one was .5 miles away, we decided to take the journey. It's a struggle to find because if you go to the exact address on Yelp.. it's not the right place. And it's not that the address is wrong because even Fatamorgana says that that's its address. You need to walk about 2 more minutes down the street to a small square area where the road splits off. Unfortunately for us, the place wasn't open until 1pm so we opted to go again given how good the reviews are. So let me make my disclaimer. This place serves good ice cream. But not gelato. Gelato is differentiated by its creamy texture. One easy way you can tell if ice cream is gelato is the way that it's being scooped. Ice cream tends to be scooped in circular balls whereas if you go to good gelaterias, you'll notice that the gelato is packed in and out with a flat utensil to make the gelato slightly more compact while retaining its creamy flavor. That was the first sign. I got the banana cream with seasame, tiramisu, and the estasi (chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut.) The flavors were great and there certainly were quite a number of flavors, but this isn't gelato. This is where I was disappointed and have my problem--if Fatamorgana didn't advertise itself as gelato and simply said they had good ice cream, I'd rate the place higher. But instead, it's calling its product gelato, tourists who don't really know gelato come and rate this place and believe that this is authentic gelato. No.. this is not gelato at all. It's just good ice cream. Please don't waste your time going out of the way for this if you're looking for gelato. Also, having gone to so many gelato places after this, this place is actually quite expensive given how small the scoops are. Each scoop is one euro but easily devourable in seconds. tldr; good ICE CREAM. not gelato. go elsewhere. if you just want yummy flavors, you're fine, but don't go here if you came to Italy for gelato. read more

Not the biggest fan, but decent! They have a lot of very original flavors which is pretty cool. I got the pistachio, pineapple ginger, and mint chocolate flavors. First of all, they don't even fill up the cups all the way like other places and the gelato wasn't as soft as normal gelato and they actually used ice cream scoops to serve-not very authentic. The flavors were okay but not the best. The pineapple ginger had a weird after taste, as did the mint chocolate. And, they all had very chunky bits of the mix ins which I found kind of tasted like sand in the gelato that ruins the beautiful texture of gelato. Also! Why so expensive!? €3.5 for the medium size with theee flavors and the cup was barely half way filled! read more

I got ice cream here three times while I was visiting Rome for 4 nights. They have a huge selection of flavors and ordering is quite easy even if you don't speak Italian. They have a good selection of different chocolate ice creams which is pretty cool. Their Wasabi Chocolate sounded interesting and it was actually good! My favorite flavor is Banana and Lime. You can definitely taste both flavors and the like gives it a good tart citrusy flavor. I love that there is an area outside where you can enjoy your ice cream with everyone else. read more
