Gelato in Rome
Gelateria della Palma though one of the most commercial gelaterie in Rome, has the widest range of gelato flavours available. Boasting 150 different flavors, it is one of the safest bets for eating gelato of a fairly high quality at some of the lowest prices in Rome.
One lovely spring afternoon the senior editor and I decided to take a breezy little trip on the scooter, to discover any new places which might be hiding along the cobbled stone streets of Rome. We discovered a charming gelateria with gelato so good it rivals our favorites in Rome.
San Crispino is well-known throughout Rome for its commitment to quality ingredients, rigorous production process and the absence of artificial flavors, additives and cones. With a specific range of flavors for gelato and sorbets, San Crispino is one of the best gelaterie in Rome according to many.
Another contender for the title of 'best gelato in Rome' is the lesser known Quintozzi. We only discovered this place a little over a year ago and some hot summer afternoons have found a few of our staff members there. Its a bit off the well worn tourist path but here at AdoreRome we are all about hidden gems.
One discussion which remains a continual bone of contention in Rome is who holds the title for best gelato. Locals defend their hot-spots fiercely while unsuspecting tourists are sometimes left with a poor version of true Italian gelato. Gelato and ice cream are different. Gelato has no air incorporated albeit that from the churning process and has more egg yolks and less fat. One of the best places for gelato in Rome in our opinion is Giolitti.
What does this mean?
The seal of approval means that an event, hotel, restaurant or anything else associated with the city of Rome meets our high standards and has actually been tried and tested by our team.
