Gelato's history traces back to ancient civilizations, with frozen desserts enjoyed by the Romans and Egyptians. However, its modern form emerged in Renaissance Italy, evolving from sweetened ice mixed with fruits and honey into the creamy, dense treat we know today, largely thanks to experimentation with ingredients and techniques.

Taste Before You Commit
Don't hesitate to ask for a sample (un assaggio) before making your final decision. Most gelaterias are happy to offer small tastes.
Look for Natural Colors
Authentic gelato typically has more muted, natural colors. Bright, artificial hues often indicate the use of artificial ingredients.
Consider the Texture
Gelato should have a smooth, creamy texture. Avoid gelato that looks icy or has a grainy consistency.
Enjoy Immediately
Gelato is best enjoyed fresh, as its texture and flavor can deteriorate quickly. Find a spot to relax and savor each bite.
