Ice Cream & Desserts in Rome

Gelaterie make up close to two-thirds of the 56, and pistachio is the flavour that comes up in reviews at more of them than any other. In the centre, Che Gelato on Via del Governo Vecchio draws reviews that mention basil, dark chocolate and vegan ice cream, and Limone, near the Trevi Fountain, builds its counter around lemon, from sorbet to limoncello. Gelateria Azzaro on Corso d'Italia serves Sicilian granita with brioche, plus flavours such as mulberry and Modica chocolate, and reviews of Gelateria I Caruso on Via Collina often mention zabaione; it opens only from 5 PM at weekends. Across the Tiber, Gelateria Regusto in Trastevere stays open until midnight every day, while Er chioschetto on Via Magnagrecia is an afternoon kiosk for grattachecca, Rome's shaved ice with syrup. By the sea in Ostia, reviews of The Sea Of Ice Cream mention choices for coeliacs, and What If on Via Val Santerno is devoted to tiramisu, with caramel and Nutella among the variations.
