Artisanal gelato with unique, natural flavors, vegan options
"When I crave gelato, I come for a scoop of its hazelnut or ricotta." - Charlotte Davey
"Otaleg (which, yes, is gelato spelled backwards) was founded by an employee of one of Rome’s first gourmet gelato-makers. It’s located in between two of Trastevere’s main piazzas, which we recommend hitting once you have your cup or cone in hand. Try the pistachio paired with a scoop of rich dark chocolate, or their silky stracciatella. Also good to know: the fruit flavors change with the season, and are dairy-free." - annie replogle, gillian mcguire

"We’re going to guess that at least two people who helped you source recommendations for your trip subjected you to a passionate debate over which gelateria is the best. We like the spots on this list best, which includes Otaleg, a small shop in Trastevere. Make your way there, and if you’re up for it, tack on a pit-stop to Campo de’ Fiori—it’s on the way. Choose from a menu of around 30 different flavors (if it’s available, get the lightly-toasted pistacchio al quadrato). Take your cup and meander through the neighborhood as you call your grandma to inquire about any possibility of declaring Italian citizenship. Then, head back to your hotel to commence the “getting ready for dinner” part of your day, a.k.a. taking a little nap and then scrambling to get ready for your dinner reservation." - tiffany yannetta
"Otaleg (which yes, is gelato spelled backward) serves all-natural scoops of gelato from a narrow shop that’s located in-between two of Trastevere’s main piazzas. This spot was founded by a former employee of Claudio Torcè, one of Rome’s first of the gourmet wave of gelato makers. Try the Pistacchio al Quadrato paired with a scoop of rich dark chocolate. The fruit flavors change with the season, and are dairy-free." - Gillian Mcguire, Team Infatuation
