Adventures already wrote Gelarmony sells these wonders in Rome. The two gelaterie in Rome also provide a very high quality gelato. There are two of them one is in Via Marcantonio Colonna 34, the other being in Via Oderisi da Gubbio (close to Viale Marconi). I don't remeber the exact street number but it's close to another famous "sweet city feature": il Cornettone. I can't be sure about the ingredients used in the fruit flavours, but I bet the creams are pretty natural. Being a sicilan gelateria you should give a try to typical sicilian flavours: cassata and cannolo. Be warned they are pretty similar in base taste as they are both based on ricotta (a light cheese). That's also a good place to taste what a real 'Cannolo sicliano' could be, unless you are planning a trip to Sicily. @FinnyKnits: as ms.

I finally got to read and see all of your posts from our time in transition (we got DSL yesterday :)). The photos are ALWAYS amazing...the eggplants don't even look real!, beautiful urchin shot, and I love the mozz knot being held up by that man! I'm going to get on the Tour del Gelato train soon I promise :) Found some good ones so far in Florence! um, I’m not sure what even to say about this sandwich – AMAZING!!!

We've got these vendors on the streets hawking ice cream and you can have your choice of a cone or soft colorful bread to hold it up with. The ice cream's usually in a slab cut into rectangles though but some vendors have a giant tub which they scoop ice cream from with a mini scoop (the sort you'd scoop melon with).
