This place is always packed, no matter what time of the day or what season of the year it is. You'll always see a line of crowds waiting to get their hands on a cone of Giolitt's delicious gelato. The Giolitti gelateria first started out as a creamery in 1890 when the family wanted to sell milk from their Roman pastures. Within a few years the family opened up their gelateria mothership on Via degli Uffici del Vicario, and soon it became the It-girl on the gelato scene in Rome. Today, the gelateria continues to be a landmark for both Romans and tourists. A small cone here is a bit higher than most places (2,50), but that's what you get when you pay for the name and the fame of a place!

- Ice Cream: "Make sure to try one of their granitas made with fresh fruit and/or coffee. One of the best is made with figs. Yum!"
