Best Gelato in Rome for a photoshoot

June 1, 2022

Where to try the best gelato in Rome? Another great idea for your photoshoot in Rome.

Ask any Roman where to find the best gelato, and prepare for a tirade on the topic. Even beyond the ingredients, texture, or ambiance of the shop where it’s served, what constitutes “the best” is also a sum of neighbourhood pride, openness to innovation, and backstory. These 5 shops both inside the city’s center and beyond are worth seeking out.

1. Hedera Geleteria

Try one of the best gelato in the city after your visit of Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Observe how gelato is made and enjoy an outstanding interior and exterior design of the place.

Borgo Pio, 1792.

2. L’Arena del Gelato

Most amazing home-made ice-cream cones and brioche con gelato! In close proximity to Vatican City and Castel Sant’Angelo.

Via di Porta Castello, 8, Borgo Pio, 13.

2. La Gourmandise

Your Gelato tour of Rome won’t be the same without this Gelateria. It is located in Monteverde, on the border with Trastevere. Maker Dario Benelli uses the very specific Maltese goat milk as a canvas for his gelati, infusing it with herbs and spices to form one-of-a-kind flavors.

Via Felice Cavallotti, 36b4.

3. Al Settimo Gelo

During your walking tour around Rome, make sure after visiting the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese to cross the Tiber river and have one of the best gelato in eternal city. This place has an astounding sense for sourcing: Iranian saffron, organic orange blossom honey, raisins from Pantelleria, and Verdelli Siciliani lemons from a family-owned farm all make an appearance in the flavors.

Via Vodice, 215.

4. Giolitti

Once in the historical centre of Ancient Rome, make sure that you not only visit Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Roman Forum and Piazza Navona, but you treat yourself with a gelato in one of the oldest gelaterias in the city. Giolitti is Rome’s gelato centurion. The 120-year-old caffe has its original 1940s decor, including the wrap-around bar, parlour tables, and its unforgettable lighted lettering fanning out above the entrance.

Once you are in Italy and you visit Rome treat yourself not only with a delicious gelato, but also organise yourself an unforgettable photo shoot in Rome. In summer period I advise all of my clients to start the private photo tour in early morning. In order to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera we will make a stop for a coffee to have an opportunity to get to know each other, walk around historical centre of Rome. During your photography tour we will make high resolution vacation photos that will help you to relive all the amazing moments of your trip to Rome Italy.
