Gelato in Rome is unlike any ice cream you\u2019ve had before, with fresh and natural ingredients, seasonal flavours, and daily in-house creations. No trip to Rome is complete without a stop (or three!) at a traditional gelateria for this famous Italian dessert – and you don\u2019t need to wait for the temperatures to heat up to enjoy it. The locals know that gelato is a year-round love affair. Whether you like to indulge in this sweet treat for morning tea or during an evening stroll, there are a few gelaterias in Rome that stand out from the rest. From the first gourmet gelateria to historic shops dishing it up for decades, here is our guide to the best gelato in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FataMorgana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FataMorgana<\/a>\u2019s motto is \u201cno tricks, just nature\u201d, and that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll get at this beloved gelato shop. Created by Maria Agnese Spagnuolo, the shop uses natural and organic ingredients. They also dream up fairytale flavours that you won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out the charming Thumbelina with Sorrento walnuts, rose petals and violet flowers, or the Snow White with vanilla, apple and raspberry. There\u2019s even the Kiss of the Prince with decadent lashings of hazelnut and chocolate. We also love the whimsical flavours like Thought with ginger, horseradish, lemon peel and pink grapefruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FataMorgana also has vegan, nut, dairy and gluten-free options, so everyone can tuck into their delicious gelato. With nine locations across Rome, you\u2019ll never be far from FataMorgana\u2019s charming delights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come Il Latte<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tucked away on a side street in the Sallustiano quarter, Come Il Latte<\/a> serves up one the best gelato experiences in our guide to Rome. Chef Nicoletta Chiacchiari has carefully designed a beautiful interior and you\u2019ll first be awed by your gorgeous surroundings before checking out the incredible gelato flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s all kinds of infusions like ricotta with caramelised figs and hazelnut, mascarpone with Gentilini cookies, and brie, blueberry and caramelised hazelnuts. You’ll also find classic flavours like rich chocolate, creamy lemon sorbet and even gelato tiramisu. Best of all, everything from the gelato to the wafers is made onsite, with milk from grass-fed cows and local farm produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also sugar-free and vegan flavours. Plus, if you want a flavour combo not already available, the chef will whip it up for you on the spot! Don\u2019t miss the special fountain which flows with dark and white chocolate into the crisp wafer cones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiordiluna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located in the heart of the historic Trastevere neighbourhood, Fiordiluna<\/a> has been serving up delicious gelato for almost 30 years. This small, colourful shop takes a minimalist approach to their gelato. There are only a few special ingredients in each flavour and they use little sugar. The result is fresh, high-quality gelato and incredible flavours like black cherry ripples and custard and cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aldo, the owner, ensures his shop only uses ingredients from small producers and local, fair-trade farmers. While he focuses on classic flavours like chocolate, coffee and lemon, you\u2019ll come across the occasional twist. One of the beloved favourites is duetto, a mix of pistachio and hazelnut. It was created when Aldo accidentally dropped a bag of Piemonte hazelnuts into the pistachios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiordiluna is a family business with a truly authentic touch. You’ll find stone-ground pistachios, speciality machines that produce gelato onsite, and unique, local ingredients like donkey\u2019s milk. The shop also creates bean-to-bar chocolates for the perfect souvenir to take home – you’ll never forget Fiordulina!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otaleg<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Otaleg<\/a> – gelato spelt backwards – has quickly become a crowd favourite in Rome, thanks to its incredible gelato and open-view workshop. With a slow-making process and high-quality ingredients, you’ll adore this smooth and incredibly fresh gelato. You\u2019ll also find different flavour combinations every day, based on seasonal produce and revered artisan Marco Radicioni\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most outstanding flavours are the eggnog with Marsala wine, the cacio e pepe with Pecorino cheese and fava beans, and the beetroot sorbet. We also love mango with dark chocolate chips, passionfruit with cocoa beans, and gorgonzola with blond chocolate and hazelnut. If you\u2019re after something more classic, you\u2019ll also find flavours like strawberry and pistachio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelateria dei Gracchi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This famous gelateria was one of Rome\u2019s first gourmet gelaterias, opened by Alberto Manassei, a renowned gelato guru. Its first location was in the Prati neighbourhood, close to the Vatican. Today Gelateria dei Gracchi<\/a> has three branches across Rome, so you\u2019re never far from this incredible gelato experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lines regularly run out the door, but it\u2019s always worth the wait. Everything is made in house, from roasting nuts to peeling fresh fruit. You won\u2019t find any artificial colours or preservatives here, and there\u2019s even lactose-free and gluten-free options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out the traditional, seasonal flavours like apple and cinnamon, dark chocolate and orange, or zabaglione, made with egg yolks and Marsala wine. The locals also come here for their addictive bonbons. These are tiny balls of gelato dipped in dark chocolate and covered in chopped nuts. Delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il Gelato di Claudio Torc\u00e8<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pioneer of all-natural gelato and daring flavours, Claudio Torc\u00e8<\/a> is always a winner for best gelato in Rome. There are eight branches and over 100 flavours, ranging from traditional sweet flavours to savoury, bold creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose from classics like pistachio and eggnog or try something bold like wasabi and capsicum, habanero and gorgonzola cheese. Founder Claudio Torc\u00e8 is a master of flavour experimentation, so you can\u2019t go wrong, whatever you choose! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Italian Holiday<\/a> tour isn\u2019t complete without a scoop of fresh gelato from Claudio Torce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelateria del Teatro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything about Gelateria del Teatro<\/a> is the real deal, from the stacks of fresh fruit in the window, to the trays of chocolates on the counter and the draws spilling over with almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios. You can even watch the magic happen in the onsite laboratory where everything is handmade from the crunchy cones to the creamy gelato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative flavours are seasonal and you\u2019ll find dreamy delights like rosemary, honey and lemon. We also love lavender and white peach, and sage and raspberry. The traditional way to enjoy gelato here is in a cone with olive oil and fresh, sugar-free cream on top. There\u2019s also dairy, egg and gluten-free flavours available, so everyone can dig in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelateria Fassi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step off of the train at Roma Termini and head due south for the delicious scoops at Gelateria Fassi<\/a>. Opened in 1880, five generations of gelato craftsmen have made Gelateria Fassi a landmark in the Eternal City. They even offer tasting tours every weekend, which includes a tour of their museum and plenty of samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

G\u00fcnther Gelato Italiano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bringing the sweetest treats from the mountains of South Tyrol to the Eternal City, G\u00fcnther Gelato Italiano<\/a>\u2019s Mr. G takes his artisanal gelato seriously. Raw ingredients take center stage, with Sicilian oranges and the chocolate-hazelnut blend among the stars. He also makes a dreamy zabaglione gelato – one of the few that use egg yolks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giolitti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hardly aged after 125 years, Giolitti has served Rome\u2019s sweet tooths since 1900. Take a tartufo al cioccolato fondente (dark chocolate truffle) or tartufo al cioccolato bianco (white chocolate truffle) by the scoop, throw them in the bowl with a banana for a split, or try the chocolate and vanilla \u201cbikini\u201d, an interesting ice-cream-sandwich-like handheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il Gelato di San Crispino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve got a well-read copy of Eat, Pray, Love<\/em> in your backpack, then you already know about Il Gelato di San Crispino<\/a>. An essential stop for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert\u2019s memoir, Il Gelato di San Crispino has locations around hot-spots like the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, making it effortless to step into and difficult to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frigidarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frigidarium<\/a> is the place you go to for the obligatory \u201chand holding gelato\u201d pic with Piazza Navona as the backdrop. It\u2019s a take-out joint, making it an easy sell to those who need a quick cool down as they walk through Rome\u2019s sweltering summer season. We recommend the Frigidarium classic: caramel, gianduia<\/em>, and pan di stelle<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neve di Latte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While others are spooning scoops in the center of the city, Neve di Latte<\/a> is the go-to for travelers staying near sites like Villa Borghese, Castel Sant\u2019Angelo, and Campo de\u2019 Fiori. 28 gourmet flavors are yours for the licking including stracciatella, Sicilian ricotta, Sorrento walnut, and the eponymous scoop made with Madagascar vanilla, organic Alta Baviera milk, and grape sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is gelato made of\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The basic gelato is made of milk, cream, and sugar, but not in the same quantities that ice cream uses. Gelato flavors may include anything from nuts and fruits to chocolate, whipped cream, and caramel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the difference between gelato and ice cream\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gelato is not simply \u201cItalian ice cream\u201d. It is<\/em> a frozen Italian treat very similar to ice cream, but there are important differences. Gelato uses more milk than cream, while ice cream uses more cream which yields a higher fat content. Gelato is also slow-churned, which makes it smoother and less dense \u2014 meaning it won\u2019t melt as quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is gelato healthier than ice cream\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, ice cream and gelato are both sugary desserts that don\u2019t sit next to apples and carrots on the healthy-snack scale. However, gelato does tend to have fewer calories than ice cream, thanks to its lower fat content from using more milk and less cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is gelato gluten-free\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, gelato is gluten-free and it\u2019s rare to find a scoop that contains gluten ingredients. The exception would be an artisanal gelateria that features gelato with something like birthday cake bits or cookies added in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does gelato have eggs\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes and no, gelato may or may not have eggs or egg yolks, depending on who you visit. Traditionally, egg yolk has been used to make gelato to help bind the cream together, but many gelato makers nix the eggs. No eggs is one of the reasons the composition of the gelato is different from ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does gelato have dairy\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, like ice cream, gelato is traditionally made with dairy milk and cream. However, you can find non-dairy or vegan gelato that use plant-based ingredients to substitute for milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is stracciatella gelato\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stracciatella gelato is a flavor of gelato made when warm, melted chocolate is drizzled onto the cold gelato. The inconsistent striping effect makes it resemble \u201clittle rags\u201d or \u201clittle shards\u201d which is where it gets its name. Stracciatella is also a type of fresh curd Italian cheese and a type of almost egg-drop-like soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
