Fatamorgana Chiavari

We had the pleasure of trying some excellent gelato at this cozy ice cream store, which offers both gelato and sorbet. I chose the basil walnut honey and spicy chocolate flavors, and both were delightful. The basil walnut honey was light and refreshing, with walnut bits adding a nice texture. The spicy chocolate had a deep flavor, though the hint of spiciness was very subtle—I wish it had been more pronounced. As an Asian, I really appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, making it perfect for those without a strong sweet tooth. At €3 for two scoops, the portions were smaller compared to other places I've tried in Rome. There's a good amount of seating available, as well as electrical sockets for charging devices, though note that there are no toilets.

Amazing place 100% gluten-free. I was so happy to actually have a cone instead of having ice cream in a tub. The flavour I had was milk cream, and my god, it was creamy and tasty. It reminded me of the milk lollies ice cream in the UK. My husband enjoyed it as well and said you would not be able to tell its gluten free

This place was recommended by a friend, and I can't thank her enough. We tested several other highly rated gelato places and this one was leagues above the rest ! In their dozens of flavor, not only do they nail the classic ones, their creations were amazing too, like that dragon fruit and ginger one Absolutely worth a detour ... each day of your trip ❤️

One of the best cups of gelato I had during my weeks-long trip to Italy in 2024. So good, I came back twice, and you have to because the inspired flavors change from day to day. Speak Italian con gusto, they really appreciate it. First visit, I had their 'dracarys' (dragonfire), which has peperoncino, dragonfruit, and fragole (strawberry), their basilico-lime (bright green with bits of real basil), and carrot cake (never seen this before... very tasty). For 4.50 euros, a very decent deal. Second visit, I had their 'prince's kiss' which is nocciolo and gianduja, and the Madagascar chocolate which was so rich and flavorful. Incredible gelato. Highly recommend you try their unique flavors, but if you must, yes you can get a vanilla or mango sorbet too. The accolades you'll see on the wall are proof positive of the quality and diversity of this place.

Serendipitous discovery while walking around the neighbourhood. The flavours are so very different from the usual ones we had in Rome. My absolute favourite has to be Salted Mou Milk which is classic milk chocolate with some hint of salty and great chunks of hazelnut chocolate that tastes like Ferrero, the Italian chocolate brand in supermarkets. Line gets long due to the famously delicious creamy ice cream that has many well accolades, however servers are speedy and efficient in their delivery of scoops and cashless payment options. It’s also a great place to sit while having ice cream as there is no additional charges for that.

Huge flavors selection. The ones I'd highly recommend are: Ricotta Blueberries and Walnut; Matcha (surprisingly strong and so good). I also tried Pistacchio (okay since Ive had better pistacchio); Lavender flower, coffee, and almond. The lady is generous with the scope. 3eur for a small cup with 2 flavors. There are a few seats in front of the store. Lovely place to sit and people watching.

I got pistachio and cheesecake with blueberries. The scoops were tiny and the pistachio flavour was not very strong unfortunately. 2 scoops were €3 in total though so that may be considered fair for the price.

I'm giving 3*** as portions are really small (especially after visiting south of Italy). Pistacchio and mint+chocolate ice cream were extremely sweet. Passion fruit was full of flavour - really enjoyed it. Very nice deep coffee flavour as well. Pineapple with ginger was pretty flat.
