Frigidarium & assorted gelato places
Rome
Rome
Needless to say, at a reasonable price of two Euros a cone, gelato became a big part of our staple diet in Rome, along with plates of hearty pasta & pizza. I dare say we ate it everyday; even twice on some. Hey, it was hot!
Thanks to our friendly hotel concierge's tourist tip, we walked across Central Rome to find the so-called, 'secretly' best gelato the city, Frigidarium! Located along Via del Governo Vecchio (which is one of Rome's many tiny, cobbled streets), we found a quaint Gelateria at the corner of an intersection, right next to a family-run pizza place and an Irish bar.
Like any other gelato store in Italy, the store front hasthin wafer cones stacked on top of each other and tubs of creamy galore: pistachio, kiwi, straciatella, mint, strawberry swirl, peach... and let's not forget their signature namesake Frigidarium flavour, made of a combination of caramel, chocolate and cookies! Lastly, have it your way with either a squirt of fresh cream or a generous Viennese chocolate dip.
Well, it's safe to say that it's impossible to count calories in a city with such excellent ice-cream. Live a little, have a cone! Or two.
