Giolitti Bar & Gelateria

Giolitti is probably one of the best "gelaterie" (ice-cream shop) in Rome, if not the best. Many Romans and also tourists pay a visit to this spectacular place, which is situated between the Pantheon and the Chamber of Deputies and it has been since 1900 the historic location. The ice-creams are delicious, nothing like you have ever tasted before. There are a lot of different types of flavors you can get: from chocolate, tiramisu, stracciatella, nocciola to semifreddo allo zabaione, fragola, panna, fior di latte and so much more. Giolitti is paradise for those of you who like gelato, its different and unique tastes are distinguished by the rest by the quality of the ingredients used, especially by the milk. When you enter Giolitti, you can either get in line and get an ice-cream cone or cup to take away, or you can sit down and enjoy whatever you ordered.
Apart from the historic location on Via Uffici del Vicario, there is another Giolitti located in Eur in the Laghetto called Casine dei 3 Laghi (viale oceania, 90). Enjoy.
