It would be so hard to choose, especially since some of those flavors are not things I would typically see here in the U.S. I’d want to try all of them.
10 years ago, as I was visiting a small town in Spain, there was a Spanish-Italian place selling Gelato. The best cold thing I had ever tasted in my life ! And since I would go there once a day, I recall my two favourite flavours were Mojito and Berries. Thank you Vincenzo and your team for reminding me of those sweet memories. ❤
One thing about gelato in Italy : It's rare to ever buy bad gelato, no matter where you go. The worst gelato in Italy is similar to average ice cream everywhere else. Almost every gelato you'll ever buy in Italy is much better than the best of most other countries, there really is no comparison. I'll give a shout-out to 'Voglia di gelato' in Domodossola (Piemonte), one of the best I've ever come across!
"Gelato is the pleasure of life", SO TRUE. Pistachio is my favorite gelato flavor, followed by dark chocolate, and living in the tropics, I have a reason to go searching for gelato every day...
Vincenzo needs his own TV show on Food Network or something and these fake chefs off the air! It’s amazing to see his love for food and flavors, just absolutely incredible in awe. Need to visit Italy before I die for sure! Long live Vincenzo bringing authentic Italian fare to the masses! ❤ Thank you so much for what you do sir! 🙏
@@aris1956 it's a big city with lots and lots of food options so tips are always good... But yes, we do have our list of regular places I look forward to visit again :)
On a recent visit to Sicily (Trapani to be precise), there was always a big queue for a certain gelateria. I asked a local friend if it was really that good, and which was the best one in town. She said that there were all good ones because a bad one would go out of business very quickly. I would say that is true for most of Italy, outside of the tourist traps.
Thanks for sharing your experience in Sicily! It's true, Italy has so many amazing gelaterias and restaurants, and it's hard to go wrong. But that just means we have more delicious options to try 😉🇮🇹
In my mind I like to blieve that Vicenzo does all the eating in 1 day. And just changes shirts to avoid questions lol! Great video though! I'm now actually excited to go to rome!! ✨
I lived in Viterbo one time, Don Vincenzo, and this one gelateria by the central shopping area had a *triple Nutella* that was to die for! Another gelateria near a church had this *gelato shake* with extra gelato and Nutella, with a biscuit…amazing!!! Too bad I didn’t spend much time in Roma. But you are very correct: gelato italiano, il maggiore!!
Can you please have authentic Italian gelato tutorial on your channel from one of these best gelateria in Rome! We love espresso coffee, pistachio bronte, lemon with mascarpone !! Yummy. Perfect for spring summer here in SoCal! Grazie Mille Ciao🍦
I tried Venchi in Rome 4 years ago… it was outstanding. You’re right the chocolate is absolutely amazing. Personality I usually don’t eat chocolate gelato but this one is the exception. By the way the make beautiful chocolates… the „chocoviar“ are my favourites. I made homemade semifreddo al torrone with Torrone from Venchi… just wow. 😋
Hey, I also love Venchi! Their chocolates and gelato are amazing 😋 Homemade semifreddo al torrone with their torrone sounds divine! Glad you enjoyed it. 🍫🍦👨🍳
Love the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing UA-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest watching your videos allways bring a smile to my face all the gelatos looks very yummy
❤❤❤ I had the honor and great pleasure to have visited Roma once for 2-3 weeks when I was 24/25 years old Now I am 60 and remember that ancient architecture, good food, expresso café, gelati and fruits How I tried to find a job but failed and went back to Germany via Carrara , Pisa and Riva I remember many foods and the ice-cream was bombastic and Pizza Patata with potatoes and Rosemary, so tasty 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Sounds like you had an amazing time in Roma! Those memories must be something special. Gelato, pizza, and the sights of Italy-it doesn't get much better than that! Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful experience.
We visited Gelateria La Romana during our visit to Rome. We've been eating ice cream in Italy for 10 days and by far this one is the best. We tried 5 flavors and I must say the pistachio ice cream is amazing. Thanks for the video.
The best hands down is the Crema at Gelateria La Romana. The silky “pull” is like no other texture I’ve had. I discovered it by happenstance in 2016 and just got back from Rome 2 weeks ago. It’s even better than I remember
Thanks for sharing your experience! Gelato in Rome is definitely a must-try, especially in the summertime 🍋🍉 Have you ever tried making your own gelato at home? It's a fun way to experiment with different flavors!
I love the creamy versions that you had like the dark chocolate, pistachio and fior di latte is wonderful. But in Rome I also love to have the lemon and pompelmo rosa at Giolitti for the freshness, especially on a hot day! Thanks for the tips on more places if I ever get back for a fourth visit.
@Vincenzo's Plate It had been 9 years since we were last in Rome, so I only remember Giolitti by name. A year and a half ago we were in Firenze, and I remember Eduardo's there being very good and one or two others. I guess I need to go back to Rome! Different subject. In Rome I highly recommend La Fiametta as a restaurant, a few blocks from Piazza Navona. Best amatriciana I've had, even better than my own.
In Rome now on my honeymoon and went to gelateria la romana today. I had watched this video a while back, forgot about which places you recommended and our hotel (Alpi) recommended the gelateria up the street which was that one. Went and absolutely loved it. Who knows, tomorrow I’ll try another one of your recommendations! Grazie Mille Vincenzo. A la prossima.
That's fantastic to hear! 🍦😄 So glad you enjoyed Gelateria La Romana. Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon and enjoy exploring more of the recommended spots. Grazie mille! A la prossima! 🇮🇹🥰✨
Gelato nerd here who traveled many times to various parts of Italy just for the gelato... I've visited many gelateria's in Rome and perhaps because it was so hot that day that you didn't feel like walking a lot :) as all the places you visited are relatively close to each other in touristy city centre. Places like Martinucci and Venchi I consider tourist traps. Martinucci (and Grom also these days), is a nation wide chain brand which puts pressure on artisanal principles. From Venchi I clearly remember the fluorescent looking Mango and other so called "artistanal" gelato there with over the top colours. Artificial colouring is an absolute no no for anyone passionate about (artisanal) gelato. Walked by it a bunch of times and only saw tourists there who are clueless in general. All of these don't compare to the really great stuff slightly out of city centre, like Fata Morgana or Dei Gracchi. As a tourist it can be a bit of a maze to navigate which gelato place to go to for the best quality, but simple tricks often work: don't go to places which locals ignore. Cross-reference TripAdvisor with Google reviews and disable auto-translate to pick out the Italian reviews. Check what they say. Talk to locals outside the city centre. In the end you'll end up with 5-6 gelateria's to choose from. Visting 3 a day and you won't miss out during your road trip.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and that it gave you a greater appreciation for Europe. Rome is a beautiful city with a rich history and culture, and it's definitely worth a visit. I hope you have the opportunity to return soon and explore all that the city has to offer.
Omg, you went to Venchi!! I weent there in 2019. 41 DEGREES OUT THERE, we were urgently needing a Gelato to make our mouths more fresher. Luckily, Venchi was the solution and we loved the gelato there. Loved the video, Vincenzo, cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇮🇹🍦🍝🍕
Woah that's so amazing! I went on to try their gelato as it was recommend by you guys too and they did not disappoint. I was so amazed by how delicious their Gelato where, definitely a must try!
Vincenzo! When I go to Pantheon I always go to Gelateria Della Palma. So many flavors, a treat for the eyes not just the tastebuds. Also I really enjoyed Old Bridge Gelateria outside the north walls of the Vatican.
Thanks for sharing your gelato recommendations, they are both great places! 😍 Have you tried any other gelato shops in Rome? Let me know if you have any other favorites! 🍦
Have to say with the Pantheon, water will come through the top when it rains, but the floors have an excellent built in filtration system so it won’t flood. Excellent video though!!
It's definitely a favorite among many gelato lovers. If you ever get the chance to visit Italy again, there are many other amazing gelaterias to try as well.
My favourite is Fata Morgana, particularly if you pick one at their place close to Piazza del Popolo and then you enjoy it there is quite an experience. Or in Piazza dei Zingari at Monti, those are great evenings with people seating around. And is most gluten free for a celiac like me.
In Rome now and tried many gelateria around the city. Venchi and Gelateria Romana were very good. But the best we found by far was Fior Di Luna in Trestevere! So good!!!

Hello Vincenzo. How are you? I'm glad to see that your channel has grown so much. I've been away for a while, but we exchanged some comments in the beginning. Congratulations! Best of luck!
Thanks for sharing your favorite flavor! Gelato is a must-try in Rome 🍦 If you like Italian food, check out my channel for more traditional recipes 😉👨🍳
Thanks Vincenzo for this video :) I look forward to trying several of these gelatos! You have to try Rivareno in San Giovanni! It's my all time favorite! Their gelato is super creamy and delicious! Their pistacchio flavor is amazing and I always pair it with Cremino Rivareno which is Divine!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Venchi gelato! It's always great to hear about delicious food. 😋 Do you have any favorite Italian food dishes besides gelato?
I was at a very fancy mall in Orange County and there was a new store that said "Authentic Italian Gelato". I thought "that sounds promsing". The gelato was uncovered, massively puffed up In bright neon colors and I thought "I don't think this is authentic, according to Vincenzo", and I passed it by.
Oh man I miss italian gelatto. I'm originally from Uruguay which has some Italian influence (think of a smaller version of Buenos Aires). So ice cream was Italian ice cream! Nom nom!
@@vincenzosplate Hmm I like lasagna but I think my go-to dish is gnocci. I'm always happy with pasta. The thing is in Uruguay and Argentina pasta and some sauces are the usual stuff that your mom or nonna would do now and then. Tuco (not sure if it's exactly ragu or not), pesto, getting fresh pasta from a nearby shop/factory on Sundays, and gnocci on the 29th each month. My family comes from Spain, but I would get acquainted quickly with my friends.
This is too much! 40°c??? I guess that I am living in the fridge in Switzerland. I have survived the heat of -11°c last winter…… In Japan they have a ベツバラ (betsubara) for the dessert. Do you also have one special stomach for the dessert? Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your wonderful icecream video with us.
That's wonderful to hear! 😄 It's fantastic that you've had the opportunity to try different places, and I'm thrilled that they all tasted amazing. Keep exploring and enjoying delicious food!
Hey there! Prices for food in Rome can vary depending on the location and the restaurant, but typically a dish of cacio e pepe ranges from €10-€15. Gelato is usually around €3-€5 per scoop. Hope that helps! 😊🍝🍦
Thank you for your suggestion! While I respect all dietary choices, I prefer to stick to traditional Italian cuisine. Hope you still enjoy my recipes 😊🇮🇹
So happy to hear that you enjoyed making the focaccia! It's always worth the wait for that perfect rise. 😋 Keep trying new recipes and let me know how they turn out!
when you get back to Sydney, you should do a comparison by visiting Cow and Moon Gelato - a few years ago they beat all the Italian teams to be named best gelato in the World at the Gelato World Tour in Rimini. Would be a very interesting video
Hey there! Pine nuts ice cream is definitely a rarity, but you never know what you might find in a good Italian deli 😉 Keep your eyes peeled and your taste buds ready! 🍦👀
Probably a dumb question on my part. ..Never had Gelato in my entire life. Is there a big difference between Gelato and Ice Cream or are they both basically the same thing ? I'm from The Maritimes East Coast of Canada and to my knowledge I've never seen Gelato here
You can't expect to find the best Gelato in Italy, by only visiting the most touristic places in the city. Next time try Otaleg and Gutiella, bot are exceptional expecialy Otaleg in Trastevere.
Initially, I was wondering if there really is such a thing as bad gelato. Barring perhaps a few odd flavors, I couldn’t think of a time I had bad gelato, or even ice cream.
Thanks for the clarification 🤝 Gelato and ice cream may have different ingredients and methods, but both are delicious 😋 Have you tried making gelato before?
My step-granny made me gelato birthday cake a few times because one time my dad got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for my 14th birthday (I also got a drum kit that year) and she was angry that he didn't ask her to make it, she was all "I can make it better than Dairy Queen" y'know, like Eddie Murphy's mom and her better than McDonald's welfare green pepper burgers, but my granny's were awesome and didn't drip grease everywhere. She passed in the 2000s, I miss her gelato cakes.
Your step-granny's gelato cake sounds like a true masterpiece 🍦🎂 It's amazing how food can bring back such fond memories of loved ones. Thanks for sharing your story! 😊
@@vincenzosplate They were different every time, the best one was the first one, it looked like a Black Forest cake, chocolate and cherries with raspberries because I love them. That was my favourite, she made that twice.
Hey there! 🙋♂️ Well, I have to say I respect everyone's preferences, but when it comes to pizza, I'm totally with you on this one! 🍕🍍😅 Thanks for your comment!
@@vincenzosplate I'm going to have a Pizza oven next month. But i promise than i WON'T put Pineapple on the pizzas i'm making. I will use Pineapple as an ingredient for Gelato and Juice
I’d love you and David from Bologna to react to Jamie Oliver Bolognese. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, because I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I believe you will find at least one criticism.
@@vincenzosplate sorry I don’t have enough money for Rome😔 but I do have another Italian dish to recommend you try on this channel. Venetian shrimp scampi. Honestly I don’t know a whole lot about where the food in Italy comes from
Gelato is italian for icecream. There are actually a few differences, like in ice cream you have more cream and in gelato more milk, gelato has less fat, in gelato are no eggs, in ice cream you often have egg yolk. In ice cream you have much more air than in gelato, also the production of gelato takes longer than ice cream, the stiring speed is slower when you make gelato.
Thanks for the comment! Gelato and ice cream are both delicious in their own way 🍦🍨 but I must say that I prefer the creamy texture of gelato. Have a great day! 😊
Which Roman Gelato will you try First?
I would absolutely go for Provami from Martinucci!
All of them !!!!
Old Bridge Gelateria in Piazza Risorgimento!!
It would be so hard to choose, especially since some of those flavors are not things I would typically see here in the U.S. I’d want to try all of them.
Pistachio

Giolitti was my personal favorite in Rome, but can never have too many gelato recommendations for the next trip!
Same here!!! 🍦 🍧 🍨
I love Gelato, you can never go wrong with it.
Going to Rome (with my Roman wife) in a couple of weeks for the first time since spring 2020. These tips come at a mighty fine timing. Thank you!
Have fun!
@@aris1956 it's a big city with lots and lots of food options so tips are always good... But yes, we do have our list of regular places I look forward to visit again :)
You should also go to Ostia Antica, it's a old preserved city like Pompeï, but near Rome! (I went there in 2008, it was fantastic!)
@@stephanewantiez164 interesting. thanks for the tip!

@@vincenzosplate I'm doing well. Always creating with food. Looking forward to your next videos. 😄
Buona Pasqua Vincenzo! Having carbonara as a main course and gelato as the dessert is surely the best experience!
Thanks for sharing your delicious Easter menu idea! Carbonara and gelato is truly a match made in heaven 🍝🍨 Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
In my mind I like to blieve that Vicenzo does all the eating in 1 day. And just changes shirts to avoid questions lol! Great video though! I'm now actually excited to go to rome!! ✨
Haha, you got me! But don't worry, I don't eat all the food in one day 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video though! Have an amazing time in Rome 🇮🇹✨
The passion from you is incredible! You are a gift Vincenzo!
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me! 😊 Let me know if you have any recipe requests or suggestions for future videos!
I lived in Viterbo one time, Don Vincenzo, and this one gelateria by the central shopping area had a *triple Nutella* that was to die for! Another gelateria near a church had this *gelato shake* with extra gelato and Nutella, with a biscuit…amazing!!!
Too bad I didn’t spend much time in Roma. But you are very correct: gelato italiano, il maggiore!!
Wow, those gelaterias sound amazing! I'll definitely have to check them out next time I'm in Viterbo 😉 Thanks for the insider tips! 🍦🍨🇮🇹
Man Italy is so cool. I hope I'll be in Roma some day. So much to do and see.

Thanks for your feedback! The fruit gelato recipe is one of my favorites, too 🍨👌
❤❤❤ I had the honor and great pleasure to have visited Roma once for 2-3 weeks when I was 24/25 years old
Now I am 60 and remember that ancient architecture, good food, expresso café, gelati and fruits

These are all fantastico. Last week I had gelato twice at Gelateria Fassi… founded in 1880 on Via Principio Eugenio. È buonissimo

@@vincenzosplate Great!I'll be curious to know how you like it ;)
I had a Venchi gelato in Florence and it was the best I’ve ever tasted! ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience with Venchi gelato! It's always great to hear about delicious food. 😋 Do you have any favorite Italian food dishes besides gelato?
Only one Gelato shop near me, Francesco's Gelato in San Antonio, TX. Haven't been, but as it sits on the River Walk near The Alamo, we will try it.
Oh nice! That gelato shop is definitely worth a visit. But don't forget to come back to my channel for more traditional Italian recipes 😉🍝🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate Oh I do. I have to cook for an Italian wife after all. :D
I don’t think I’d say no to any of those. But I love figs, so I would definitely want to try that one!
That gelato flavours is extraordinary 🤤 I absolutely love figs!
I was at a very fancy mall in Orange County and there was a new store that said "Authentic Italian Gelato". I thought "that sounds promsing". The gelato was uncovered, massively puffed up In bright neon colors and I thought "I don't think this is authentic, according to Vincenzo", and I passed it by.
I had the best gelato of my Italy trip at Old Bridge Gelateria by the Vatican. Supposed to be the pope’s favorite too!
Wonderful , I think it's time to visit Roma 😁
Thanks for your comment! Hope you enjoy your time in Rome 🇮🇹🍝🍷
La Romana is simply the best😋
Venchi too.
Last time in Liguria I got addicted to Amarena gelato 😋
Wish i could find a good recipe on how to make it like they do in Italy
to make ice cream you need the special machine
The creaminess of Italian gelato is unique! It is similar to Neapolitan pizza: art to perfection.
I couldn't agree more! Italian gelato and Neapolitan pizza are true culinary art forms. 🍦🍕 Keep enjoying those delicious Italian flavors!
Oh man I miss italian gelatto. I'm originally from Uruguay which has some Italian influence (think of a smaller version of Buenos Aires). So ice cream was Italian ice cream! Nom nom!
In fact, when I moved to Spain I realized how much Italian influence we had :D
Oh, I see! Gelato is amazing and it's always great to hear from people with Italian heritage. What's your favorite Italian dish? 😊🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate Hmm I like lasagna but I think my go-to dish is gnocci. I'm always happy with pasta. The thing is in Uruguay and Argentina pasta and some sauces are the usual stuff that your mom or nonna would do now and then. Tuco (not sure if it's exactly ragu or not), pesto, getting fresh pasta from a nearby shop/factory on Sundays, and gnocci on the 29th each month. My family comes from Spain, but I would get acquainted quickly with my friends.
This is too much! 40°c??? I guess that I am living in the fridge in Switzerland. I have survived the heat of -11°c last winter……
In Japan they have a ベツバラ (betsubara) for the dessert. Do you also have one special stomach for the dessert?
Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your wonderful icecream video with us.
Hey there! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I don't have a special stomach for desserts, but I do love them! 😍
went to all of them except martinucci and have to say all of them tasted amazing
That's wonderful to hear! 😄 It's fantastic that you've had the opportunity to try different places, and I'm thrilled that they all tasted amazing. Keep exploring and enjoying delicious food!
Those all looked magnificent, personally I'd go for Frigidarium first given I'm a slow eater.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Frigidarium is definitely a must-try. 👌🏻
Can u please do a cooking tutorial on how to make our own gelato? I wanna make some
Can you say a bit about the prices, Not only gelato but also the cacio pepe or other foods in rome
Hey there! Prices for food in Rome can vary depending on the location and the restaurant, but typically a dish of cacio e pepe ranges from €10-€15. Gelato is usually around €3-€5 per scoop. Hope that helps! 😊🍝🍦
La devo provare l’anno prossimo quando sono a Roma. Per me, preferisco Gelateria Della Palma vicino al Panteo via della maddalena
Non ci sono mai passato, anch'io devo provarla!
Gelateria Mamo in Via Tripoli is the best for me. Pistacchione e cioccolato fondente the win!
Thanks for sharing your favorite gelateria with us! I'll have to try it out next time I'm in Via Tripoli 🍦👌
I now really wanna do it myself. Please teach me how to do ice cream like a real Italian ice chef 😮
To make ice cream you need the special machine
@vincenzosplate this won't stop me 😄
The maschine is just a tool you can buy, but I need a recipe 😋
🤣🤣🤣 mama mia vincenzo my taste glands got an electric shock, miss Rome ❤ I go vegan gelato Grezzo or Angelletto
Thank you for your suggestion! While I respect all dietary choices, I prefer to stick to traditional Italian cuisine. Hope you still enjoy my recipes 😊🇮🇹
Food must try in rome pleaaaseee ❤
Giolitti is the best! ❤
So happy to hear that you enjoyed making the focaccia! It's always worth the wait for that perfect rise. 😋 Keep trying new recipes and let me know how they turn out!
when you get back to Sydney, you should do a comparison by visiting Cow and Moon Gelato - a few years ago they beat all the Italian teams to be named best gelato in the World at the Gelato World Tour in Rimini. Would be a very interesting video
Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion, can’t wait to try the gelato 🍦👌
@@vincenzosplate Make sure you try the Mandorla Affogato flavour - that's the one that won them the title
Next video needed: how to make some good Italian gelato at home :P
Thanks for the suggestion! Gelato is definitely on my list of recipes to share soon 😉🍦
My ever favourite ice cream is Pinoli (pine nuts). But it’s sooo hard to find outside of Rome!
Hey there! Pine nuts ice cream is definitely a rarity, but you never know what you might find in a good Italian deli 😉 Keep your eyes peeled and your taste buds ready! 🍦👀
@@vincenzosplate will do 😊
Oh lovely 🙂
Thank you! 😊
Pistachio is also my favourite.
Thanks for sharing your love for pistachio ice cream! 😄 Have you tried making any of my Italian recipes? Let me know if you do! 🍝👨🍳
Great.
many thanks!
Probably a dumb question on my part. ..Never had Gelato in my entire life. Is there a big difference between Gelato and Ice Cream or are they both basically the same thing ? I'm from The Maritimes East Coast of Canada and to my knowledge I've never seen Gelato here
You can't expect to find the best Gelato in Italy, by only visiting the most touristic places in the city. Next time try Otaleg and Gutiella, bot are exceptional expecialy Otaleg in Trastevere.
Thanks for the tips! 😍
For my fellow Americans, 40 Celsius is 104 F.
🙏🙏🙏
Initially, I was wondering if there really is such a thing as bad gelato. Barring perhaps a few odd flavors, I couldn’t think of a time I had bad gelato, or even ice cream.
Glad to hear that you've never had bad gelato, but trust me, it exists. I've had some pretty terrible ones in my time! 😅 Thanks for your comment!
All these beautiful gelati, I can smell the cornetti. And all that beautiful italian girls! :)
Hey there! We're here for the food, not the girls 😜 But glad you're enjoying the recipes! 🍝🍦
Gelato & ice cream are two different things the way they are made and ingredients. Ice cream is made with guess what cream and gelato with more milk.😋
Thanks for the clarification 🤝 Gelato and ice cream may have different ingredients and methods, but both are delicious 😋 Have you tried making gelato before?
Pizza and gelato are the best food
Pizza, and then for dessert a Gelato
Oh yes, they are! No doubts 😍
My step-granny made me gelato birthday cake a few times because one time my dad got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for my 14th birthday (I also got a drum kit that year) and she was angry that he didn't ask her to make it, she was all "I can make it better than Dairy Queen" y'know, like Eddie Murphy's mom and her better than McDonald's welfare green pepper burgers, but my granny's were awesome and didn't drip grease everywhere. She passed in the 2000s, I miss her gelato cakes.
Your step-granny's gelato cake sounds like a true masterpiece 🍦🎂 It's amazing how food can bring back such fond memories of loved ones. Thanks for sharing your story! 😊
@@vincenzosplate They were different every time, the best one was the first one, it looked like a Black Forest cake, chocolate and cherries with raspberries because I love them. That was my favourite, she made that twice.
I strongly agree that pineapple does not go on a pizza. It only goes as a flavour for Gelato and be drunk as juice, right Vicenzo?
Hey there! 🙋♂️ Well, I have to say I respect everyone's preferences, but when it comes to pizza, I'm totally with you on this one! 🍕🍍😅 Thanks for your comment!
@@vincenzosplate you're more than welcome, Vicenzo.
@@vincenzosplate I'm going to have a Pizza oven next month. But i promise than i WON'T put Pineapple on the pizzas i'm making. I will use Pineapple as an ingredient for Gelato and Juice
I’d love you and David from Bologna to react to Jamie Oliver Bolognese. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, because I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I believe you will find at least one criticism.
Maybe I will! Thank you !
Is it as good as Italian ice?
Italian ice is delicious, but this recipe is a different culinary experience! 😋 Give it a try and let me know how you like it! 🍽️👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate sorry I don’t have enough money for Rome😔 but I do have another Italian dish to recommend you try on this channel. Venetian shrimp scampi. Honestly I don’t know a whole lot about where the food in Italy comes from
Go to Gelateria Valentino. Right next to Fontana di Trevi.
I will try that gelateria for sure next time I'll be in Rome
Hello my brother 😊
Hello 👋
So what is the difference between gelato and ice cream?
Gelato is italian for icecream. There are actually a few differences, like in ice cream you have more cream and in gelato more milk, gelato has less fat, in gelato are no eggs, in ice cream you often have egg yolk. In ice cream you have much more air than in gelato, also the production of gelato takes longer than ice cream, the stiring speed is slower when you make gelato.
@@lolno8406 thank you! I've never had a gelato.
@lolno8406 Thank you so much for your super accurate reply 🙏🏻
What about Giovanni Fassi?
I believe they have a great selection too!
A gelato can make all the ice cream and frozen dessert (adulterated ice cream) a run for money.
Thanks for the comment! Gelato and ice cream are both delicious in their own way 🍦🍨 but I must say that I prefer the creamy texture of gelato. Have a great day! 😊
How could you miss Come il Latte?
How does their gelato taste?
@@vincenzosplate One of the best in Rome. Always fresh and creamy.
