  • Name of Shop: Discoteca Laziale

    It's my favourite shop in Rome, but maybe just because music is such a big part of my life. This shop is great because you can find anything you are looking for and for a very good price. Very very well specialized in alternative music. You can find pop music everywhere, this is absolutely the best shop to buy any other kind.

    What To Buy: This is not something about Rome in particular. Just it's a good chance to buy music for a good price. Pay attention to special prices, discounts are very common here.

    What To Pay: It depends on what you are buying and if it's special price or not, but you will surely pay less here than in other shops.

    Food or beverage: An Ice Cream To Change Your Life
  • Tip Rating:

  • Name of Shop: Pellacchia

    It's a small but famous bar. It's ice cream can really change your life. Absolutely the best ice cream you can ever eat. It won't give you a wide range of flavours options, but you can be sure that those ones they have, oh brother, they will make you think that life is wonderful.

    What To Buy: My favourite flavour is lemmon cream, but I have to admit that the best they do is dark chocolate. Don't eat them together because lemmon cream's taste is very delicate and it would disappear with that strong flavour of chocolate. Juste eat two ice creams!

    What To Pay: From € 1,30 on.

  • Name of Shop: Fassi - Palazzo del Ghiaccio

    A whole building dedicated to ice cream? You are not dreaming, it's true! Fassi is this fantastic ice cream shop inside the Ice Building. It's a piece of history of Rome, and absolutely one of the best ice cream shops ever! Many options about flavours, cones and everything else. Can't leaved Rome without going there before!

    What To Buy: Ice cream, ANY

    What To Pay: from € 1,40 on

  • Name of Shop: Giolitti

    The ice cream shop Giolitti is a piece of history too. You can choose between two locations.

    CENTRAL: if you are in the center of Rome, maybe in the area where Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and Via del Corso are, you can go to the main shop that is in Via Uffici del Vicario 40. It's just by the Italian Parliament building.

    SOUTH: if you are going to, or coming back from, the beach, if if you are visiting the EUR district, or if you have gone for a walk by the lakes of Eur, go to the Giolitti shop named "Casina Tre Laghi". Address is Viale Oceania 90. Subway line B Eur Palasport stop.

    What To Buy: Ice cream is excellent in both shops, but I prefer the main shop one.

    What To Pay: From € 1,50 on

     Wonderful Roma page! I love the Pellacchia bar on Via Cola di Rienzo for their ice cream too! Each time I am in Roma I make sure I go there at least two times!

     Beh, che scrivessero male dei romani... poi sta alla gente vedere da che parte sta la ragione

     Se fossi un onesto "immigrato" napoletano mi darebbe parecchio fastidio esser messo nel mucchio...
    Maurizioago Wed Jul 20, 2005 09:28 UTC
     Hai scritto dei buoni tips. Non mi piace però il commento sui napoletani. Non bisogna fare di tutta l'erba un fascio. Se fossi napoletano mi sentirei molto offeso.
