Venchi in Rome, Italy

Don Nino Gelato in Rome, Italy

When in Italy, you must have gelato daily. Especially in the summer, when an afternoon gelato soothes the soul. Gelato is denser than ice cream and comes in a variety of flavors from cream based flavors like vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, and stracciatella to fruit based flavors like berries, mango, and more. Don Nino did not disappoint as we were walking near the Pantheon.
