Gelateria dei Gracchi

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati

LoginSave

This is the original location of a small and highly regarded local chain of artisanal gelaterie. The proprietors here only use fresh fruit in season, so flavours vary. What stays constant is the quality of their icy delights. Other branches include one at Via di Ripetta 261, near Piazza del Popolo, and at Via di San Pantaleo 61, just off Piazza Navona.
