After a long day of walking around Rome, the only thing that can make it better is a delicious scoop of gelato. But with so many gelaterie to choose from, it can be hard to know which one has the best. While all gelaterie may look inviting, it’s important to remember that appearance is a key factor when it comes to finding the best gelato in Rome. Gelato that is piled high in the bins is likely to be of lower quality and may contain fillers or large batches that are not fresh. Furthermore, flavors like pistachio should be pale green in color, not a neon hue. This is a good rule of thumb to follow when looking for the best gelato experience. With that in mind, here are my favorite places to get a scoop of Rome’s best gelato:
