Organic gelato featuring fruit, chocolate, and pistachio flavors
"Trastevere is home to some of the best bars and restaurants in Rome. After a few drinks at Bar San Calisto, wander over to Fiordiluna for a scoop or two. The creamy mascarpone might surprise you with bits of chocolate and biscuit, and the pistachio packs a wonderfully nutty crunch. The classic yogurt flavor, meanwhile, could easily put your hometown froyo spot out of business. And if you still need to buy a souvenir for the person watching your dog at home, their homemade jams are easy to slip into your checked bag." - annie replogle, gillian mcguire

"Organic gelato in Trastevere Fair trade and high quality ingredients make this one of the best gelaterie in the center of town. They serve a delicious peanut butter gelato, inspired by requests from the American college students who study nearby. In the winter, Fior di Luna produces chocolate and serves thick, rich hot chocolate."
"At Fiordiluna, there's definitely a feeling that gelato is meant to be fun, from the jaunty wallpaper and orange bar stools to the cheerful, low-hanging lamps and fluorescent typography: “Fiordilatte." Aldo, the owner uses top-notch ingredients from local, small-scale producers and focuses on the classics like chocolate, coffee, crema, and lemon, but there are occasional twists. The ever-popular duetto, a mix of pistachio and hazelnut, was born when Aldo accidentally dropped a bag of Piemonte hazelnuts into the pistachio." - Maresa Manara
"Opened in 1993 in the heart of Trastevere, this small and colorful gelateria from the Pasquarella family — which replaced their earlier coffee and gelato shop — has always had a special focus on organic, fair-trade products and on innovative yet tradition-based processing. Fresh fruit sorbets are delicious, but be sure to try to the chocolate and the lovely pistachio-and-hazelnut duet. Fiordiluna also makes chocolate bars and pralines." - Luciana Squadrilli
