I am assuming that lots of tourists go to Da baffetto to eat"legendary pizza" and end up for desert at their neighbour, Gelateria Frigidarium. You can skip the pizza and go right there have your gelato. It's sooo good! The best we had in 25 days! The best in Italy!!

I had just finished a tour around Rome as part of an opera program, and we were finding a place for good gelato! We stumbled across this gelateria, and after 2 weeks of gelato, I felt that I was having it for the first time. It is so refreshing, and I will definitely be going back in the fall!!!!!

Its really THAT good. Theres always a line outside and you can see why. We walk 2km from our place to get our daily gelato fix in Rome! I've become somewhat a gelato connosieur!! I have to say, I don't even try other gelato places because a) I don't want to be disappointed b) waste calories on other sub-par gelatos!!... More

So many people walked past with icecream we had to go in! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. We had 2 scoops plus chocolate on top for €3. All the flavours were incredible. So much so that after trying somewhere else which didn't compare we visited this place every day for the remainder of our trip!

Great and big ice creams, that you can mix flavours and have free cream and cookies. Its is located in a street not so full of turists.

We had gelato here. We got mango, lemon, Frigedaria (most popular), and stracciatella. All the flavors were excellent. I liked their house special the best. Kind of tasted like butterfinger but without the sweetness. The gelato was very smooth and not overly sweet. I would recommend this place over Ai Tre Tartufi. I would definitely come here again. VERY limited... More

Forget the other gelato places. We tried the #1 ranked and it doesn't compare to the freshness, taste and variety of flavors. It is also a great value for the amount of servings you get. My favorite was their home made brand "frigidarium". Yum! Expect long lines but it moves very quickly. The servers are friendly and helpful in explaining... More

I was suggested having the frozen yogurt with Nutella and it was gorgeous. My husband has the magnificent mango gelato and it was like having an actual juicy cold mango. It was heaven! Happy we stumbled across this lil place :-) after the heat of the walk down St. Peter's basilica and the Sistine chapel.
