gelateria dell'angeletto — Restaurant in Rome

This tiny little shop has the best icecream in Rome. I almost missed it, so tiny shop it was.

Limone/basilic is my favorite - has an amazing refreshing taste. In general ice does not have very agressive and strong taste, neither too sweet. Of course, this is what you expect when the product is made from natural organic ingredients....

I highly recommend to try vegan chocolate (veggie nut cream) , which is also served as ice-cream in the cup. Life changing experience for me. I recommend. In my opinion it's a good ice-cream. Rum - Chokolate also one of my favorite.

I went there twice. Once at the counter was the owner. Very friendly and smiling person. Another time was a hired sales man, well, just order-pay-go.

Супер зачетное мороженое в Риме. Особенное. Вот оно для меня стало эталоном настоящего итальянского мороженое.

Моё мнение, что в этом крохотном магазинчике мороженое лучше, чем в магазинах с кучей сортов - ярких цветов и ядерных вкусов. Если за прилавком хозяин, то считай повезло - и дать попробовать, и угостить, и мило улыбнётся. Если просто продавец, то сервис будет заказал, заплатил, взял.

Помимо мороженого, там делают и шоколад. Если я не ошибаюсь, то производство находится прямо за прилавком. Веганский ореховый крем - vegan nut cream - это шоколад, который сервируется как мороженое.

Розмарин и лимон, шоколад и...

Stop whatever you’re doing and go directly to Gelateria Dell’Angeletto! There is no reason to keep trying to find the perfect Roman gelato!

Our hotel arranged for us to attend a free gelato tour in our area, but we arrived too late and missed the tour, so we set out to do our own thing. So, I searched for local gelateria and this one was the closest. So, off we went!

It was apparent from the line of locals that we were going to enjoy our treat. As our turn came, we asked for a cup of coconut gelato. The owner smiled and told us to select three flavors! So, we scrambled and chose pistachio and strawberry.

OMG! From the first bite, we were in heaven! I tasted the coconut and immediately told my wife, we’re coming back to this place!

And we did! We tried milk chocolate, banana, and caramel cream on our next visit. And there’s no way we can pick a favorite until we return to try again.

They also sell bottled water, Cokes, and Fanta for only 1.50 euros. Our cup of gelato was 3.50 euro. And worth every cent! See for yourself why they are recognized as the 2023 Travelers Choice award.

Make this your next...

We were soooo glad we stumbled upon this gem of a place. Ah, serendipity!

A cute little place on a cobblestone alley near our hotel, and not far from the Colosseum, there are many flavors to choose from, including a selection of about a dozen vegan varieties nicely identified by the blue spoon (all the cones are vegan, too).

Try the raspberry, wild mixed berries, lemon (or lemon-basil!), banana, chocolate, nutella, coconut, and more. I guarantee you will not be disappointed; quite the contrary. This was literally the BEST gelato I have ever had. Seriously.

And to up the ante, the guy who runs it is delightful. He's hard-working, fun-loving, and simply wants you to enjoy gelato and life.

When we asked him about a particular flavor combo, because he insists on giving 3 scoops into 1 cone for 2.5 euros, he got animated and declared that "The gelato is the most democratic food in the world", because every flavor goes with every flavor.

With that, we had absolutely no rebuttal and our only course of action was to carpe...
