The cream is excellent, though the vendors are stern and unfriendly. I do agree with the owners though, cones spoil a good ice cream. It might be worth coming if you are a Seinfeld fan. more

We tried so many gelaterias while in Italy. We think the best were in Florence, but this one is also excellent. We went twice. My husband had a melon sorbet that was like cantelope on steroids (in a good way) and I had a barolo wine, which sounds weird but was quite nice. My favorite was caramello.... more

I'm no gelato or ice cream aficionado and I only had a few guild cones before but nothing substantial. So when others say it's the best in the city, I have to take their word for it. As for me, it was very, very delicious, reasonably priced, and felt much more authentic than a lot of the places near Trevi... more

This small gelateria is easy to miss, but worth the search. Good gelato and not too sweet as many of them are. I recommend "Nocciola" with nice nutty flavour , their honey gelato "Miela?" and an amazing rhum/chocolate gelato whose name I can't remember. more

Stick to the flavours that can't go wrong. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Dark. Not the best ice cream in the world (i'm torn between Salted Caramel from Berthillion in Paris, Teh Halia (Ginger Tea) from The Ice Cream Gallery in Singapore and Bergamot from this square in Toulouse) but it's probably the most authentic and freshest you'll find in tourist trap... more

Honestly the best place for gelato and icecream in all of Rome. The combinations were amazing. Honey and ginger! That was the best! Perfect location. Stop by get some gelato and then sit by the trevi fountain. more

Another year has passed, time for another trip to Rome and a new review of San Crispino. Overall impression: San Crispino gelato is of a high quality, but definitely not the "best gelato in the world" and certainly overpriced. Positives: 1. many flavours have very good, extremely smooth and pleasant texture 2. basic gelato quality is consistently high, no ice... more

I've visited Italy well over a dozen times and have made it a point to have gelator as often as possible, regardless of time of year. Il Gelato di San Crispino came highly recommended and so we visited it twice on our last trip to Rome (February 2006). It was very good but perhaps because of my high expectations, it... more
