Dive into Gelateria dei Gracchi for irresistibly rich gelato made from fresh, seasonal fruits, featuring stellar vegan options in a cozy, bustling spot.
"Sure, Prati is just a 20-minute walk from the Vatican, but the main neighborhood attraction is Gelateria dei Gracchi. The best option here is the ricotta and pear or toasted almond with candied orange—it’s the ultimate blend of subtle sweetness and zesty crunch. And if you need a break from all the milk, go with the vegan pistachio. It’s ultra-creamy, and you won’t even miss the dairy." - annie replogle, gillian mcguire

"Lines regularly run out the door of this hole-in-the-wall gelateria, with everyone cramming to set foot in the diminutive red-and-white tiled space. Once inside, it's all about making a beeline to the glass counter and ordering a bag of Gracchi’s signature bon bons—tiny balls of pistachio, hazelnut, and almond gelato that have been dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in chopped nuts. You won't hear English here—this is a Roman favorite, through and through." - Maresa Manara
