For the holiday season 2025, Dream of Italy is celebrating Advent by revealing one of our favorite travel treasures for each day. See list of all days.
Day 20: When in Rome, e ating gelato is a must but not all gelato is created equal. Avoid the places that display fluffy flavors in fake colors. Typically this gelato is filled with chemicals. Gelateria del Teatro ai Coronari at Via dei Coronari, 65-66 makes delicious and unusual natural flavors like sage and raspberry (the most popular flavor), pumpkin with chocolate and Amaretto and white chocolate with basil. Gelato, of course, is similar to ice cream but traditionally has more milk, no eggs and is churned at a slower rate, making it denser.
