    We stopped by Frigidarium while in Italy, and it was easily one of the best gelato spots we've tried. The texture was perfectly creamy but still light, and the flavors were so fresh and vibrant. I'm usually all about fruit flavors, and the strawberry was a standout--sweet, tangy, and tasted just like biting into the real thing. Unlike some gelato places that just feel like overly sweet ice cream, this actually had that authentic, high-quality taste. You can tell they use real ingredients, not artificial syrups. Didn't try the chocolate dip that everyone talks about, but honestly, the fruit flavors alone were more than enough to make this a new favorite. If you're in Rome and love fresh, real gelato, this spot is a must!

    The Frigidarium ice cream is probably one of the most popular gelato stores in the area. The line is usually long although moving fast, and you have to pick up your flavors very fast as every one working here is rushing you, then pick the choice of either chocolate coat or wiped cream as toppings. I've tried their flavors of Frigidarium (very sweet), Stracciatella (creamy), Tiramisu (balanced rum taste), Pistachio Cheesecake (a must try here), and Cioccoarancia (dense texture and orange taste). Overall good quality but not worth the hassle if waiting line is really long.

    Overrated tourist trap... The gelato is really sweet, maybe a bit too much. I tried the bacio here, and still prefer the one from Gelateria Cremilla. You can choose to get the ice cream dipped in white or black chocolate.

    There is a reason why people waiting in line to buy gelato here and not across the street or other places on the same street. It's very good and original taste without any artificial add ons .

    The mango gelato taste just like fresh mango! The lemon gelato is too sour. The chocolate fudge is so thick and rich. The line was long when i was there. Service is good. They gave you sample to try before we decided. It is a cute 'come and go' ice cream shop, no chair and table.

    Good value gelato, but more on the sweet side. I thought it was overhyped. There is always such a long line, we came around 8pm and waited 15 min to get to the front. For 5€ for two gelatos with 2 flavors each, this is good value. Because of the long line, I was hesitant to sample any flavors but they did offer that. We tried the pistachio and hazelnut gelato. The pistachio was good and creamy, the hazelnut was too sweet for my taste. I also got them dipped in chocolate in a waffle cone, which topped the dessert off nicely but made it messy to eat.

    Yum!

    Have to try their famous flavor Frigidarium which I've not seen else where! There was a line but they moved fast.

    Mango, and Frigidarium (their own flavor) and white chocolate (with Gianduja which is blend of chocolate and 30% hazelnut paste)

    Very solid gelato. There was a line at night around 11:30 pm when I went to get some before leaving Rome in the morning. I got 3 types to taste which were mango (good), frigidarium (good), and white chocolate with gianduja (my fav of the three). The guy taking my order was patient and nice even though there was a line which I appreciate. And it's a little shop so the ambiance was, get your gelato, and now leave lol. Would def come back to try their other flavors.

    It was our first time in Rome so thanks to Yelp for all the recommendations. Frigidarium was one of the highest ratings for gelato so we made it a point to taste it and it did not disappoint. The coffee had a kick on it and the chocolate flavor was a hit too. There's a long line but the service is fast. The ambiance is casual and it's like a grab and go thing. Everyone was just eating their gelato in front and on the side of the store. No table and chairs for customers but they say that's normal in Rome for gelato stores.

    It's a funny old world. There we were newly arrived in Rome from Trieste via 6 other countries, and surrounded by living signs of ancient history that gave us so much today. Even Monty Python posed on what have the Romans ever done for us - all right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Brought peace? So luggage deposited our friends got a reply text from their daughter in Scotland essentially ya gotta get to this place as it's the best ice cream ever and they coat the ice cream in choccy. Dutiful doting parents instantly did as instructed. Enter google (I guess) and location found I think he said pinned, so off we went past the tomb of the unknown solider - Tomba del Milite Ignoto - past the statue of the goddess Roma, the Basilica Ulpia, Trajan's Column, Basilica Papale di Santa Marie just to name a few for bloody ice cream. Yeesh. So the ice cream was very good indeed and fairly priced but the servings weren't over generous. There are no seats and you literally stand in a small space for cheerful service. I always have a cone never a tub. I mean a tub? I can't eat a tub. A tub usually brings a plastic spoon and our planet could forgo more plastic. The chocolate ice cream coating was thin. It slowed melting and was tasty. It wasn't the best ice cream ever. But we did each eat our weight in ice cream when we were in Rome and Trieste. Now where did we put those ancient monuments?

    a small shop but with plenty of fun flavors, from your traditional chocolate and coconut, to fruit sorbets, to specials like the frigidarium and the bacio. I got four scoops: frigidarium (caramel and chocolate--sooo good), bacio (hazelnut and chocolate, also quite good), coconut (perfectly light) and pistachio (more savory but not as flavorful). You get the option of whipped cream or chocolate (white or dark) coating.

    Best in the world. Unbelievably good. We are gelato addicts and tried over a dozen places during our time in Italy, this one took the cake. It was very cheap, paid €3.50 for a medium cone (3 flavors, and the dipping in chocolate is free). Genuinely heaven eating this. Beyond satisfied.

    See all

    Delicious ice cream. Must try the bacio, had friends around the world commenting that it was their favorite from here.

    Outstanding gelato and vibe. Always a line, but it moves quickly. Get the Frigidarium flavor. You won't be disappointed.
