The best ice cream shops Route de la soie

A surprising and romantic story for this ice cream maker from the Dolomites, who arrived in Rome for love. His passion for ice cream has made him so famous that he has opened 3 outlets. A reputation wisely consolidated thanks to the quality of his controlled raw materials, most of which come from small-scale artisans. Careful selection of basic products, such as water from the Dolomites, organic milk and rigorously seasonal fruit, is the basis of his success. The flavors are many and distinctive - the choice is yours!

Born in Ardèche, working without artifice, Terre Adélice offers the best of a generous and tasty nature in real melting delights. Home-made organic ice creams and sorbets made from fresh seasonal fruit, especially fruit from the Ardèche where Terre Adélice finds its roots, but also touches of exoticism. Terrace in the heart of a tourist area sometimes overheated, sometimes waiting to take away, but these natural ice creams are really worth it. All the flavors can be taken home in a jar.

Just a stone's throw from the Trevi Fountain, a very good gelateria that competes fiercely with the historic Giolitti in the Pantheon. And with good reason: the ice creams here are also very good, all homemade, with unusual tastes and carefully selected quality ingredients (Sardinian honey, Amalfi lemon, fresh walnuts...). Gelati to discover. Another address in Rome's Prati district, via Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, 43.

Nardone rhymes with glacier and great pleasure on the terrace. Since 1899, from father to son and from father to daughter, the Nardone family has reigned over the ice and this corner of Old Lyon bordered by the Saône and a lively quay. Home-made ice creams for a high gustative quality. Plate, cup, cone, from Easter to the iced logs of the New Year, quality is always there and it is a joy to succumb to an ice cream cup - the Fruit Giant... - signed Nardone. Possibility to order in advance marvellous frozen desserts.

Frosted, you always have to be to start a greedy business. Old Lyon (and other places) is home to a completely frosty place imagined by chef Jérémie, creator of different ice creams, and Martin. Artisanal production in the Ardèche using seasonal fruit, preferably from the Rhone Valley. Bergeron apricots, fir shoots from the Vercors, Hermitage grapes... Perfumes and creations make our heads spin. Starting with the famous Kif, between ice cream and pastry. A massacre.

The Smart is demanding, especially when it comes to ice. Amorino is one of the specialists in Italian artisanales. Ice cream with tasty aromas, onctueuses ice cream that you enjoy tasting in pots of different sizes or in artistically shaped cones shaped in flower petals. Ice creams made exclusively from organic eggs, whole fresh milk and selected fruit, all without dyes or artificial aroma. A nice home and service of a man who never misses a good word to present us with the bacs containing the delights of the house: the famous 100% Amorino chocolate not to be missed in your mixture, a wonderful Bourbon vanilla in Madagascar but also Bronte pistachio, extra hazelnuts, strawberries, lemon of Sorrento, tiramisu, spéculoos or stracciatella. You will have to go back many times to taste all these wonders, including the perfume of the month, not forgetting that of organic yogurt 0% if you fear calories or a gideons ice. To accompany its ice, hot drinks, including excellent hot chocolate, but still some original sweets. Cool and refreshing address in the heart of Old Lyon.

With its vintage decor, it's a favorite of locals and tourists looking for a good ice cream and a break on the quays of Dorsoduro. It's not the trendiest place, but it's a treat! Now's the time to order the local delicacy: gianduiotto, a chocolate specialty swimming in whipped ice cream. Then, with the Zattere as your terrace, you can relax on a blue and aluminum chair and enjoy the sunset over Giudecca, for example.

Another mouth-watering ice cream shop. In a charming square of the same name, very lively in the evening, here's another good address not far from the Palazzo Ducale, where you can enjoy artisan gelati (prepared without colorants or preservatives). A fine range of chocolate (milk, dark, melting...), nocciola (hazelnut cream), gianduja, almond, macadamia nut or custard... But also refreshing Sicilian granitas. The welcome is warm and friendly, even late into the night on weekend evenings.

This great glacier in the modern garden also has its followers. It certainly offers the largest choice of perfumes from all over the city, including a dozen different chocolates, from ice to yoghurt, soy… But beware of the line, many are prepared for cream (not milk!).

It is the oldest glacier in the city, it has existed since 1880! A reason to get lost in this little tourist district around Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. The Romans love its homemade ice cream and many will tell you that it is one of the best glaciers in the city. In our opinion, Fassi's advantage lies more in its very large premises, which allow you to sit down and take a well-deserved break before heading for Termini!

Now a ubiquitous ice cream shop in Italy, Grom has not given in to the excesses of mass distribution. The principle is simple and rigorous: fresh and seasonal products for this establishment with a pure and modern design. The gelati, whose flavors change with the seasons, are simply exquisite. Its crema di Grom (custard with cookie chips and chocolate chips) has become its iconic flavor. In winter, don't miss the opportunity to try the creamy hot chocolate. Four addresses in the heart of the lagoon.

With two locations in Marseille, including the historic Panier, Glacier du Roi has built up a fine reputation over the years. With its production laboratory visible from the store, the emphasis is on the artisanal side of production, with inspiring flavours: turnip, apricot verbena, mango... Sorbets and ice creams are available in scoops and cups, as well as in large quantities with containers so you can take them home with you. The only snag, and not the least, is that the prices are not cheap, being higher than those of other artisanal producers in Marseille. And yet there's an explosion of flavors in these ice creams, which lack a little taste. As for the addition of Chantilly cream, billed at two euros, not to mention the plastic cups which, while attractive, are thrown away once the scoop is finished, it's all a bit clumsy and not too up to date ecologically speaking on the last point. A great success thanks to its location and the many tourists in the area.

This ice-cream parlour and patisserie delights the inhabitants of the Monti district with its Sicilian sweets. In addition to the ice creams, the island's cakes are also very popular:cassata siciliana, cioccolato di Modica, pasticini di mandorla... made with almonds and ricotta, this is a culinary voyage in itself! As all this is very sweet, and you can't always over-indulge in the good stuff (and in Italy, that's much harder than elsewhere!), miniature versions are also available. Another in Rome, via Labicana 126/128, not far from the Colosseum.

On the road to the station, the glacier il Gelatone is a compulsory step for those who are preparing to leave Venice. In this way, you will leave with the sweet memories of sesame, honey and pink grapefruit scents.
