Il Gelatone is one of MANY places that sells gelatto in Rome. This one is off the beaten path and is frequented by locals. It is about 2 blocks off of Via Cavour.
There are MANY flavours to choose from. All of the names of the flavours are in Italian, however the if it is a fruit or vegetable, there is a piece of the corresponding item in the corner of the container. They also have sherbert in the far corner.
You can get the gelatto in a cone or in a cup. Be careful when asking for the size, as the 3 Euro size is about twice the size of the 2 Euro. I always ordered in the price range I wanted versus saying small or medium as they have a large variety of cup sizes.
We liked this place so much we went there almost daily. They are very busy but they work fast so there usually is not a long wait. They don't close for the afternoon.
