Mo's Gelaterie

Vatican City, Borgo & Prati


Chocoholics should make a beeline for Mo's, a small gelateria nestled between shops. The choice of flavours is limited, but the artisanal gelato really hits the mark. The dark chocolate is wonderful, and the banana has a lot of appeal. Insiders go nuts for the pistachio.
