Otaleg

Master gelatiere Marco Radicioni (Otaleg = gelato backwards) produces Rome's most discussed artisan gelato using an intentionally slow, small-batch process — only 6 litres at a time. 60+ rotating flavours based on seasonal produce, some infused with alcohol. The daring flavour combinations — cacio e pepe, mustard, fava bean + Pecorino — are unlike anything in Rome. Fruit flavours are always dairy-free. Located between Trastevere's two main piazzas, perfect for an evening stroll. Locals and food writers consistently name it as their top pick.
