Gelato in Rome
Gelato might be a dime in dozen in Italy, particularly in Rome, but a good gelateria is not. There are many tourist traps to be found where not only the quality of the gelato itself not up to par, but these places also use artificial ingredients. One way to start discerning the good from the bad is to always look for the ingredient list at any place you go! If the list is hidden from plain sight, be wary. Here are some of our favorite gelato places in Rome.
