Under their metal lids, the ice creams, with their many original flavors, are skilfully worked with a spatula, before being served, in large quantities, on small cookie cones. And, as with many gelaterias in Rome, don't hesitate to ask for the extra whipped cream(panna)! Flor is also a master in the art of fresh yoghurt, with fruit or plain. You'll also find pastries(tiramisù, crostata...). An ice cream parlour to discover, conveniently close to the forums and the Colosseum.

You have to look hard to find this tiny pastry shop, whose front is hard to notice, between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. But it is well worth the detour.

Martinucci is the king of pasticciotto, an irresistible pastry from Puglia. Good news: the brand has opened a counter in Rome's main railway station!

An amazing and romantic story for this glacier that came from the Dolomites and arrived in Rome for love. His passion for ice cream made him so famous that he opened 3 points of sale. A reputation wisely consolidated thanks to the quality of its controlled raw materials, most of which come from small craftsmen. A careful selection of its basic products such as water from the Dolomites, organic milk and strictly seasonal fruits is the basis of its success. The flavors are multiple and particular, just choose!

There's an air of French bakery-pastry here... And no wonder, since Giuseppe Solfrizzi, Le Levain's pastry chef, is one of Rome's leading exponents of French craftsmanship. Here, you'll find macarons, éclairs, galettes des rois and bûches, as well as a clever blend of French and Italian flavors, such as this irresistible croissant with gianduia or the cropizza, halfway between croissant and pizza! You can also sample typical Italian pastries, such as pasticciotto.

Neve di latte is one of our favorite ice cream parlors in Rome. The ice cream is creamy, the flavors are tasty and seasonal. As an added bonus, the brand makes a point of reducing its sugar content to a minimum, and offers vegan and gluten-free alternatives. We particularly recommend the chocolate-based flavors, which are to die for, as well as peanut and salted caramel. Many fruit sorbets are also available. And, as in every Roman gelateria , don't forget to ask for panna (whipped cream) on your ice cream!

The temple of chocolate and gelati. Vencchi, which has been in business since 1878, delivers justly mastered sweets. Its Roman store is a pleasant stop to sweeten your mouth between two visits. If you have to choose, we advise you to first give in to the call of chocolate: the chocolate candies or the spread (with IGP Piedmont hazelnuts and olive oil!) are a success. As for ice cream, the choice is impressive, with many flavors available, including the delicious pistachio ice cream from Bronte.

A very good gelateria of Rome, where it is very difficult to choose its favorite taste! Caramelized peanuts, chocolate, raspberry ricotta... the choice is vast and the quality is there. The main ingredient here is fresh milk, which makes up 60% or even 70% of the creamiest flavors. The artisanal cone is made in front of you and, as a bonus, you can add melted chocolate inside. Of course, we won't forget to ask for whipped cream to top it all off! A delicacy that we can't get enough of.

In one of the narrow streets in the heart of Trastevere, this biscottificio doesn't look like much at first glance. However,is over one hundred years old and produces over fifty different types of cookie by hand. There's no cream here, just the dry cookies Italians love: Frappe and castagnole during Carnival, brutti ma buoni, tozzetti con le mandorle all year round...
