What people say
Thomas Hill
"Fassi is an iconic ice cream shop in the Esquilino district of Rome.
Open since 1880, it is an institution here in the city, and for me serves the best ice cream in town.
Here you will find the most incredible ice cream, without any strange or diabolical combinations and flavour profiles, but rather the classic, traditional flavours executed to perfection with quality ingredients.
Another staple here, which I highly recommend you try, is the Sanpietrino, an ice cream square covered in dark chocolate. These come in various flavours, and if you're greedy like me, a 12 piece box is perfect."

"Gelateria Fassi is a classic and enduring gelateria in Rome. In 1880 Giacomo and Giuseppina Fassi opened a shop selling ice and beer, meanwhile experimenting with sorbets.
Giovanni Fassi became an apprentice pastry chef and ice cream maker at the royal house, immediately gaining the reputation of "sovereign ice cream maker".
This gelateria has many flavors that you can try, but I suggest the rice (riso). I was actually blown away by how much I loved this gelato. You also can't go wrong with lemon or tiramisù. "

"This ice cream shop is one of the oldest in Rome and is in an actual palazzo called "Palazzo de Freddo" which is "the frozen palace." Great for kids!
It has an old-school ice cream parlor vibe with lots of inside seating which is great when the weather gets cooler.
You can get more than just regular scoops of gelato, like ice cream sandwiches and their specialty, sanpietrini – which are little nuggets of gelato covered in chocolate and perfect for popping one after another"
