Founded in 1999 by Alberto Manassei, who brought gelato-making experience from Sardinia. Anthony Bourdain rated it as one of Rome's best. Everything is artisan, in-house, seasonal. The Prati original remains the destination; additional locations near Piazza del Popolo (Via di Ripetta 261), Piazza Navona (Via di San Pantaleo 61), and Trieste (Viale Regina Margherita 212) extend the reach. The dark chocolate with orange is the single most recommended flavour in Rome by food writers. No pretension — small, no seating, grab and go.
