Rome Reader Tip // Gelateria del Teatro

January 30, 2013

I thought I’d break up the huge batches of Rome photos by sharing a tip that a reader shared before our trip. Michelle suggested trying the gelato at Gelateria del Teatro. As it happened, it was about two blocks from our apartment – and tucked into a little nook so you wouldn’t see it unless you were on the look out.

I would absolutely second Michelle’s suggestion. It’s teeny and the gelato is delicious and tastes real (perhaps the real tip here is only eat gelato at places that are recommended – nearly every corner has a shop that sells it, but it’s not all great!). I tried Sicilian almond and pure chocolate. Delicious!

And I just had to share this artwork on the wall of the little shop – adorable, right?! They’re bouquets made with some different ingredients – see the coffee beans on the lower right?

    Gelateria del teatro was one of my favorite spots when I lived in Rome. There’s nothing quite like sitting at one of their tables outside and indulging in a cup of creamy gelato. I’m so glad you got to experience it!

      Me too! It’s definitely the one gelato place I would recommend to people – too cute!

    I love that gelato place! I found out about during my last trip to Rome from a Context Travel food tour (SO. GOOD.) and proceeded to go back there every day for the next 3 days. Their flavorfuls are incredible! And I love that they frequently change them up.

    Looks like your trip was a blast – I look forward to reading more about it!

    It was our favourite gelateria in Rome as well, but we actually found it on our own. We were just walking by and it looked so nice. The first chocolate ice-cream I loved in long time

      Your photos are beautiful, Magda! I can’t believe you found it on your own – I definitely would have overlooked it! It’s so hidden away!
