An Ode to Gelato

Almond and Cinnamon

I knew before I came to Rome I knew I was going to fall in love with a lot of things... I fell hardest for gelato.

The first picture is some of the best gelato I've had in Italy. It was in San Giminano, they were world record holders for the best gelato. I got Almond and Cinnamon flavors and didn't want it to ever end. I can't even explain how delicious it was, goodness gracious.

My FIRST Gelato: Crema and Nutella

Raspberry and Champagne

Giolitti has some of the best flavors of gelato in the city. Italians almost never get one flavor of gelato, so part of the fun is trying out different flavor combinations. Giolitti has the best selection, there is so much! The Champagne litterally tastes like they froze a bottle and serve the ice, so good.

Frigdarium is literally the best gelato I've had in Rome. It's right between Piazza Navona and Campo di Fiori. Frigidarium is so delicious, it's so creamy and flavorful, and it's homemade, AND you can get chocolate on top... delish. "Frigidarium" is the name of the cold rooms and pools in the ancient Romans baths, so punny. It has become one of our favorite stops. We all  hop on the bus from school, grab our favorite flavors, and talk a walk through Piazza Navona, so woderful. My favorite flavors from Frigidarium are Mandorla and Frigidarium.

Canoli Cream



We have a gelato place right across the street from school. Its a Sicilian place and they have really cool Sicilian flavors. I don't go there often, but when I do I get the canoli flavor. It's great.

I can honestly say that I am going to miss gelato so much. But --  there is a place in Asbury Park that I will be frequenting for my Roman fix.
