Any tips on finding good gelato in Rome? Someone once told me to look for the gelato stored in a closed container.

That's like asking for recommendations on where to find a good pint of Guinness in Ireland.

Walk down the street. When you see some, buy some.

Most people will tell you Giolitti and Frigidarium and they are probably the most famous.

I prefer Il Gelato di San Crispino near the Trevi fountain. Be forewarned though they can go a little Seinfeld Soup Nazi on you if you try to put flavors together that they don't consider complimentary.

I also enjoyed Il Gelato di Claudio Torce, Fatamorgana, and Ciampini.

We just got back from Rome last week. We ate at Grom once (the place that had the closed lids) but our favorite was Giolitti's. They add homemade whip cream on top. We ate there every night in rome.

If you are using the bus to get around. GUARD YOUR PURSE/WALLET. My wife got pickpocketed it by a 7 year old girl on the bus, luckily I was able to catch her doing it and got our stuff back.

Cant remember any of the names of gelato places but highly recommend going to a restaurant called Hostaria Romana. Amazing places, it was recommended to me by a local.
