    It was good but not amazing. This place came with the high recommendations and the long line to go with it. I got the pistachio, chocolate and cream, with some strawberry to try a variety of scoops. None of them were creamy. It's not that it wasn't good, rather it just wasn't the creamy texture you'd expect from a true Italian gelato.

    There was a huge line for this place and the inside is tiny. The staff was not very friendly in terms of helping suggest popular flavors. I got the espresso and salted pistachio - the espresso texture wasn't the best as it tasted a little too airy and not creamy enough. Additionally, the pistachio gave me an allergic reaction meaning there were other nuts in there other than pistachios. My friends also thought their lemon flavor was way to sour, but the kiwi was good. Overall, not the best experience here.

    Rome, Italy. First you notice the dark veneer and simple layout to this shop. Otaleg is a small one counter gelateria in the Trastevere hood. It's a small-batch, organic, business; what's there not to love!!! Our server was super helpful and informed us of the fresh options for the day. And he was on point. The flavors were authentic tasting and definitely tasted like a super good gelato not an ice cream. So we picked two recommendations for the day and I have to say I've not had gelato made this well that is unforgettably delicious. I loved it so, I came back 3 times. There are many other flavors on the menu. There are two locations in the city. This one has a 'lab' down the street and is sometimes open to visitors. Love Otaleg and hope to return next time I'm in the city. End of Yelp.

    A Bobby and Giada fav! Artisanal small batch high quality ingredients definitely make Otaleg a must visit. A weekday during my trip was easy, no line and friendly staff provide samples to try. It's a little off the beaten path and it's a very small shop but they definitely exceed with providing excellent unique flavors. Supposedly they are always experimenting with new flavors that change frequently so definitely sample before you make your final selection. Definitely worth the trek. I also didn't know celebrity chefs Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis were fans of Otaleg until after I returned home. I saw a video of Bobby saying he ate gelato from here daily which I suppose should add a little more evidence of Otaleg's greatness. LOL. Fun fact: Otaleg is gelato spelled backwards.

    Delicious innovative gelato. Natural fruits , ingredients like coconut, cocoa nibs, tea flavorings, and choice % darkness of chocolate offered including 100%. All ingredients densely found in the gelato which is a very healthy practice. Yum! We highly recommend ! Delicious

    Had the stracciatella and hazelnut ice cream. It was very creamy and delicious. Staff was very nice and allowed you to try the flavors you wanted.

    If you're on the search for some incredible gelato in Rome, look no further than Otaleg in the Trastevere neighborhood. Although it's outside of the city center, it's worth the short walk or public transport ride. The gelato is creamy, full of flavor, and not too sweet (prolly the best compliment). There always seems to be a line, but the staff are quick with orders and are friendly as well! Definitely worth a stop if you're in Rome.

    Very good gelato. The service staff is friendly and the place is clean. It's pretty small inside.

    I found amazing, unique flavors and awesome tasting gelato at this shop. They make rich, artisnal gelato with fresh, natural ingredients. This cute little shop located in the old town area of Trastevere is a wonderful place to eat delicious, flavorful gelato. It's a small shop and gets busy quickly. They have quite a good and interesting variety of flavors to choose from. There's something for everyone here, in my opinion. You are allowed to sample two flavors per person. I tried their White Chocolate Olive Oil w/ Orange Zest; Ice Cream with dried fruits, sesame seeds & nuts; Turkish Pistachio, and Cheesecake with red fruit and biscuit flavors. They were all great. The flavors were pronounced and popping in my mouth. My favorites were the Cheesecake and the White Chocolate ones. We had a good experience. The only negatives I would say were the scoop sizes, which were a bit too small, and the limit on the gelato samples you could try. But otherwise, this shop was well worth the visit, and I would go back here in a heartbeat. I loved it. I miss it. If you visit Rome, then make a point to go to the Trastevere area and check out this fine establishment.

    When in Rome, ignore the glossy gelato shops with neon signs and 47 flavors that taste like sweet…read moreregret. 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. We did try some other gelato places throughout Rome but couldn't stop comparing them to Regusto. The staff is so nice. Each time we stopped in we had such a fun interaction with the staff. 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.

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.

    Take the advice given on flavors to try. Delicious and classic gelato. The strawberry was delicious.read more

If you don't know what real gelato should look like check my photos. First it shouldn't be piled high into mountains. Secondly the colors should be natural. The banana and pistachio gelato in my photos are perfect representations. On to the tasting! My tour included one cone and I got two scoops of pistachio and licorice. We said our goodbyes to the tour and the gelato was so good I wanted more. We ended up getting an affogato and a few more scoops in a bowl the second time. This was very close to where Julius Caesar was assassinated so we walked over and checked it out. When done I couldn't resist and had to go back a third time as I really wanted to try the orange gelato. The owner laughed as he couldn't believe we were back again. The orange was so good! There was bits of orange skin and it tasted really fresh. When I'm back in Rome I will visit my new friend here at the Gelateria!
