Gelateria Del Teatro

Gelateria Del Teatro is a quaint gelateria located just before Ponte Garibaldi, right before crossing over to Trastevere. The service was lacking, as the lady behind the counter appeared unfriendly and distant. However, there are two benches outside the shop where you can sit and enjoy your gelato.

I decided to try the pistachio and ricotta cheese, as well as the almond and fig flavors. Unfortunately, the flavors were rather mild compared to what I’ve experienced elsewhere, and the texture was somewhat hard and brittle.

This gelato chain offers options tailored to various dietary restrictions, such as dairy, gluten, nuts, sugar, and eggs, with clear labeling for each. Their flavor range is extensive, featuring intriguing combinations like pineapple and ginger, avocado, lime, and wine.

On my visit, I tried the Basil, walnuts & honey, rose petals, violet flowers, and Sorrento walnuts flavors. Each flavor boasted a unique yet delicate profile, showcasing natural ingredients and a creamy texture.

Overall, it’s an excellent spot for those seeking healthier gelato choices.

The Gelatist

In contrast to my previous experiences at gelato shops where I would order first and then pay, I discovered that this particular establishment operated on a pay-first basis. Unfortunately, none of the servers informed me of this until it was my turn, forcing me to return to the back of the line.
Despite the need for better communication regarding the service, the gelato itself was exceptional! This was my favorite out of the gelatos I’ve tasted in Rome.  We indulged in hazelnuts with milk chocolate, hazelnuts with dark chocolate, and mangoes with cheesecake and strawberry.

The gelato was dense, creamy, and impeccably smooth, with flavors that were perfectly balanced in sweetness. Each flavor was distinct, delivering pure bliss with every bite.
