During our stay in Rome, we were on a two-gelato per day pace but none of the shops we tried was impressive enough for us to return for a second time until we ran into Fatamorgana.
Fatamorgana serves all natural gluten-free gelatos. They are dedicated to using the best natural ingredients without any thickeners, coagulants, preservatives and food colouring. And if that's not enough for you, they offer 20-30 different flavors, from the "old school" pistachio to funky ones like basilico, noci e miele (Basil, walnuts and honey) and panacea (mint, ginseng and almond milk).
If you are a tourist like us, then there's more good news for you. This top artisanal gelato brand has opened a new outlet near the Spanish Steps on via Laurina.
Rumors had "Basil, walnuts and honey" as their best seller but after my conversation with the staff here, I was having second thoughts.
I was told that it tasted more like pesto sauce and after sampling a small spoonful of it, I concurred.
If you are into more creamy and milky gelatos like me, then you would love the pere belle helene (belle helene pear) and Bacio del Principe (“kiss of the prince”) which is a mix of gianduja and hazelnut.
