]]> As one of the oldest cities in the world, Rome has a rich and fascinating history that can still be seen throughout its many museums and iconic landmarks. The Italian capital is also a hub of art, fashion, and, perhaps most notably—food. Along with traditional Roman dishes like spaghetti carbonara, visitors would be remiss not to indulge in a scoop of Italian ice cream for dessert. Known locally as ‘gelato,’ Italian ice cream differs from its American counterpart in that it contains more sugar and less fat. It’s a delicious and refreshing treat that makes for a perfect end to a day spent strolling through the city’s cobblestone streets. Keep reading for our recommendations for the best gelato in Rome.

Fassi

Palazzo del Freddo Fassi is a historic Roman gem that has been delighting locals and tourists with its artisanal gelato since 1880. As a small family-owned business, they’ve perfected the art of gelato-making over the generations and continue to offer a wide range of flavors crafted from high-quality ingredients. 

Venchi

In the heart of Rome, just a few minutes walk from the Trevi Fountain is Venchi, a legendary gelato shop with a history dating back to 1878. Along with ice cream, the shop also specializes in handcrafted chocolate candies and beverages. All Venchi products are made with natural ingredients using traditional methods, and, in recent years, a number of vegan options have been added to the menu.

Giolitti

Since 1900, Giolitti has been making artisanal gelato, Italian pastries, and mouthwatering hot chocolate using fresh, local ingredients. A visit to this shop, not far from the Pantheon, feels like a trip back in time thanks to its classic decor and elegantly-dressed servers.

]]> Italy is known for many things—its art, its history, and not to be overlooked, its food. While pasta and pizza certainly have their place, what we really look forward to enjoying in Italy is dessert, gelato in particular. Italian ice cream has much more sugar than American ice cream, but it’s also enjoyed in smaller portions. The Italian approach to dining is much slower than in America. Food is an experience meant to be savored and enjoyed. We’ve got a few favorite gelato spots that are totally worth checking out on your next trip to Italy.

Vivoli, Florence

This gelato shop is the oldest in Florence at almost 100 years old. Vivoli uses seasonal fruit and whole milk to create quality gelato from simple ingredients. They also have delicious coffee and pastries available—we recommend their affogato, which is a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a shot of espresso.

Suso, Venice

Suso is the go-to spot for anyone looking for dairy-free gelato. They offer both traditional and vegan options as well as gluten-free cone options. Stroll through the canals of Venice with a scoop of dark chocolate. Paradiso!

Latteneve, Milan

Using local, organic ingredients to create their gelato, Latteneve serves some of the best Italian ice cream you can find, in a variety of delicious flavors. They even have eight different kinds of chocolate!

]]> Let’s be real here: even though Italy is the home of countless beautiful landscapes, rich collections of art and architecture spanning many periods, and countless world-famous cities, one of the most important focuses of any trip to this peninsula should be sampling its food. Italian desserts are maybe the tastiest part of this country’s cuisine, and you cannot miss trying these three sweet treats the next time you visit Italy.

Tiramisu

Soaked in espresso and a little bit of rum, ladyfingers are the basis of this dessert which is made complete with a nice dose of mascarpone cheese and a little bit of cocoa powder. Nothing is a better way to end a dinner than a piece of this delicious treat.

Gelato

If you love ice cream, you must take time to stop at one of Italy’s many gelaterias which served up this rich, dense ice cream that you can find in all kinds of flavors. This dessert is especially popular during Italy’s scorching summer months.

Panna Cotta

Are you looking to try a unique dessert that is oh-so-Italian? Panna cotta is made with a base of sweetened cream which has been molded with gelatin. On top of the cream base, you can find everything from honey and nuts to berry sauces. It might seem strange at first look, but you are sure to love it.

]]> Italy is known for amazing food, and the best way to finish a delicious meal is with some of Italy’s signature ice cream—gelato, as they call it. There are gelato parlors in every city and town around the country, and here’s how you can find the best one available no matter where you are.

Watch the Color

To make sure the vendor is selling gelato with no artificial colors or flavors, pay attention to banana or pistachio gelato. If they are bright yellow/bright green, you’ll know that’s not the natural color bananas and pistachios come in so you’ll probably want to move on to the next place.

Check Consistency

Ice cream that can be stacked high is not what you want. If the vendor is able to make tall desserts with it it means that it has plenty of air and not an intense taste you want. Go for creamy, heavy textures that offer full flavor instead.

Go With Seasonal Flavors

If you’re getting fruit flavors and have made sure that the vendor makes fresh gelato, you’ll want to taste fruits that are actually in season and at their best flavor. Eat strawberry gelato in May, but skip it in November.
