We stayed in the neighborhood and just happened upon Teatro. The man behind the counter recommended the tartufo gelato, which was a delicious dark chocolate concoction. We subsequently tried the amazing pistachio, hazelnut, and chestnut gelato on other visits. If only I had had enough time to taste them all. Definitely seek this place out, and it's open late! more

We found this place thanks to trip advisor and it was well worth the time to search it out. We walked in circles but finally found it. A must when in Rome. more

This was our first gelato of many during our 10 day tour of northern Italy. My husband got pistachio at each location (Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence, and Venice), and he said none compared to Gelato del Teatro. I got the dark (pure) chocolate and almond, he got the pistachio and pear. We recommend all 4 flavors and only wish we... more

This place is a little bit tucked away but is well worth finding because the gelato is delicious. They had about 5 types of chocolate icecream including one that was 80% chocolate (which was really, really good), and a number of other interesting flavour combinations (such as raspberry and sage). more

I have visited several of the gelateria's that are written up here on TripAdvisor and to me...this one was the best. The gelato just seemed to be the creamiest....thought it was better than San Crispino more

We went to all the highly recommended gelaterias, and Gelateria del Teatro won hands down. The gelato was delicious, and as an extra bonus the owners were very nice and showed and explained how they make the ice cream - in this case a mango sorbet made from ripe Pakistani mangoes. The surroundings are very nice as well. more

My wife and I have lived in Rome for the past 9 months and Gelateria del Teatro is still our favorite. They only use natural, seasonal ingredients and make everything on site. Recommended flavors include tartufo (chocolate truffle) and torta di limone (lemon cake). We go here at least twice a week. And it's so delicious that we occasionally buy... more

Just got back from The Eternal City and had a wonderful time exploring the sights and visiting as many gelaterias as possible. There is a lot of excellent gelato to be had in Rome, but by far the best of the best is Gelateria del Teatro. Their pure chocolate, almond, and thyme-raspberry gelatos and their passionfruit sorbetto were so excellent.... more

I've been traveling through Italy the last 10 days, and by chance I found Gelateria del Teatro. I had a pear with vino rosso gelato - the best I ever had. more

We went to Rome and of course wanted to eat our body's weight in sorbet and gelato. We used TripAdvisor as a source of information about the best of the best... went to all the top 10 listed sites, however Gelateria del Teatro was gorgeous. It's located in this lovely less-touristy side cobble stoned street, near a beautiful church, close-ish... more
