If you are in the Monti region (Romans say “zona”), some blocks from the Forum and Coliseum, refresh yourself in this tiny hidden gelateria. The chocolate flavors are some of the best we had in town (madagascar was incredible), as well the stracciatela. Other more creative flavors were equally tempting, like basil walnuts and honey, coffee chocolate, banana and sesame brittle, peach with wine… but fruit flavors like mango, passion fruit and blueberry are on display as well. One block from this gelateria is the Cavour subway station, so take the opportunity to travel by subway (only 4 stops) to Saint Paul Basilica (Basilica di San Paolo Fuori le Mura). It is one of the most stunning churches in town and cherished by the Romans (we find it difficult to believe travelers do not make a point of visiting this basilica, one of the few papal basilicas in Rome).
