Gelateria Valentino

I just tried capuccino which tasted more like caramel and dark chocolate which was absolute bliss. God was it good. What is very nice that the ice cream parlour feels rather authentic and is not one of these polished hipster places.

The owners are so helpful, they tell you all the dairy free options (I had chocolate and passion fruit), then they tell you which is best to try first. I enjoyed it more than the nearby trevi fountain, which was really overcrowded. Lovely place to escape for a vegan treat.

Sorbets are vegan as well as 2 creamy gelatos!

This is a family operation where the owners have their eye on everything. There is always a soy gelato available, like nocciolo or the current offering of Frutta di Bosco which is a light colored fruit gelato with real whole berries inside. The ingredients are local so when you bite into a peach in the peach gelato, know that it has come from this neighborhood. Since I can visit every week, I tend to choose one flavor at a time. If I'm looking for dessert, I choose the fondente which tastes like a chocolate truffle. If it's really hot out, I select a refreshing peach or melon. My friends all pick at least 2 flavors and can never decide which is the better one!The owner will tell you which flavor to eat first to lead you to tasting pleasure. The prices are reasonable and you can walk right up the street and enjoy your gelato at the historical Trevi Fountain. A friendly and gourmand experience, every time.
