WHERE THE LOCALS GO…

There are so many gelaterie around town, but you want to make sure you try one of the best! Here you can find the best ice cream in Rome!
Rome is such an incredible city and every time we go there we can’t wait to explore its street while eating the most amazing ice cream.

I love all flavours but I think you can’t beat a creamy hazelnut or pistachio, although during the summer when the heat wraps the city, you might be tempted to go for a fruity and more refreshing sorbetto flavour.

There are so many good gelaterie around town you’ll be spoilt for choice, but you want to make sure you try one of the best!

If you are short on time, and you are not sure as to where to eat the best ice cream in Rome…

Here is your list:

1| Old Bridge

You can’t say you have eaten the proper ice cream in Rome if you haven’t tried eating ice cream at the Old Bridge. If you are planning a visit to Vatican City, or St Peter’s Basilica, you have to take a small diversion and have a gelato here!

There are now 3 Old Bridge gelaterie in Rome, but the first Old Bridge opened near the Vatican City 25 years ago, and it still uses the original recipes and best ingredients.

You can’t miss it! There is normally a huge queue of people standing outside, but we promise it’s worth the wait. You won’t be disappointed!

They make traditional flavours, made exclusively with the best quality products, following the old recipes from the past.  They can fill your cone with warm dark, milk or white chocolate: a must!

A historic gelateria in the heart of Rome close to Palazzo Montecitorio.

The original gelateria opened at the beginning of 1900 and it has been serving mouthwatering ice cream ever since. If you have time, sit in one of the small tables outside and enjoy one of the most amazing Giolitti gelato cups.

 4| Come Il Latte

“Come il Latte” means “like milk”, a proper 100% artisan local geleteria using only whole ingredients with no hydrogenated fats, additives or preservatives.

Milk and cream are the stars of the show here, as they make 60/70% of the ingredients in the creamiest gelato you will eat in Rome. You also have to try the sorbetto ice cream, made only with the best quality seasonal fruit, water and sugar.

Torroncino, coffee, salted caramel and pistachio are a must. And make sure you put cream on top!

    Omgosh! I loveeeee gelato and ice cream!! And I love pistachio and hazel nut flavours too (that’s probably why I love Nutella and Ferraro) haha. Even in the summer time, I don’t go for the fruity flavours. I always stick to hazel nut, dark chocolate, or pistachio. If I’m feeling more like my Asian side, I go for green tea or black sesame flavours lol.

    All those places on your list look like it’s to die for!! When I visit Rome I can refer to this ice cream guide! I can just refer back to your blog since it’s all about travel and yummy foods!
