Best ice cream parlours in Rome? Here are the ones we recommend

Yes, with the arrival of summer and the heat that makes us gasp in the city, eating ice cream in one of the best ice cream parlours in Rome can be the solution to “lower” temperatures, at least for a while, as well as be a tradition that is part of Roman life, which tourists from all over the world hardly give up.

The city of Rome is the custodian of top quality artisan ice cream parlours. How can you be sure of the quality of an ice cream? Certainly taking the color of the pistachio flavor as a yardstick: if it’s bright green, well, stay away from it. If it is, however, as it should be, grayish in color, tending to olive green, then you can go easy.
