Everyone's favorite "secret gelateria"—which is code for "not (yet) crammed with tourists"—is, in point of fact, a pretty poorly kept secret.
To look at San Crispino, you'd never even realize that this long, narrow shop sells ice cream—unless you knew that, before a gelateria in Florence invented the glass display case, traditional Italian ice cream parlors looked just like this: a long marble counters set with a row of tin lids. Lift any lid, and underneath, sunk into the counter, is a tub of gelato.
Their honey-kissed signature flavor is called simply "San Crispino," though they feature many other velvety varieties made with fresh fruits or nuts and sinful delights laced with liqueurs.
The Gelato Gods have smiled upon San Crispino (as well they should), and it has now opened several more branches around Rome. All, sadly, are closed in winter, and on Tuesdays in fall:
- Via della Panetteria 42, tel. +39-06-679-3924, www.ilgelatodisancrispino.com (this original San Crispino is a bit hidden; once you've found the the Trevi Fountain, head away from it on Via del Lavoratore, then take your second left)
- Piazza della Maddalena 3, tel. +39-06-9760-1190 (easiest outlet to find; just a block north of the Pantheon)
- Terminal A, Fiumicino airport, tel. +39-06-6501-9911 (follow signs to McDonald's in the upstairs food court; it's just past that).
- Via Acaia 56, tel. +39-06-7045-0412 (between San Giovanni in Laterano cathedral and the start of the Appian Way)
