Giolitti

In my opinion, this is hands-down the best gelateria in Rome and probably in all of Italy. Pay at the cash register, then fight your way through the crowd (no waiting in lines--this is Italy at its best) and pick two or three flavors. The selection is huge, with some specialty flavors (like giandoia chocolate - incredible!) that are next to impossible to find anywhere else. In addition to gelato, there are also great pastries and coffee. And to top it all off, it's cheap - three or four euros for a huge cone.

'I had gelato at least twice a day!' was the most common phrase I heard from everyone who returned from Italy. I didn't believe how addictive gelato could be until I tried my first scoop at Giolitti, Rome's oldest gelato shop. The gelato here definitely melts in your mouth and there is quite a selection to choose from. They also sell some pastries, frulatti, and granita, but I only sampled to gelato. I liked the hazelnut and tiramisu gelato, but the rice gelato was also worth trying. Also heard that the watermelon with chocolate chips was very tasty.
