Cremolato fratelli de Angelis In Roma

Excellent experience, among the best cremolatos I've tasted to date.

Until yesterday, La Casa del Cremolato was a serious omission in my tasting journey through Rome's gelato scene. I'd passed by Via di Priscilla hundreds of times, unaware that the bar at number 18 offered this fantastic treat. We were greeted by a very kind young man who advised us on flavors, pairings, and quantities, as it was our first time trying cremolata. The main advice is to try one flavor at a time, because the consistency of cremolata inevitably causes two very juicy fruit flavors to mix, losing their identity and creating a muddled flavor. At this point, instead of a €7.50 cup, we ordered the €5 glass with a single flavor and the cream in a separate cup. The first round was lemon and strawberry. The strawberry had been advertised as a true specialty, and indeed, it was. The juice mixed with the frozen strawberry pieces is an experience not to be missed for the intense flavor released by the strawberries. Add a spoonful of cream and it's bingo, delicious. The lemon also holds its own, refreshing and thirst-quenching, with just the right amount of sweetness. But after this round, we couldn't resist a second round. This time, açai and organic sour cherries. Since açai isn't particularly juicy, it has a less watery and firmer consistency. The flavor is very good and reminded me of the açai I ate in Brazil, certainly on the same level and undoubtedly the best in Rome. The sour cherries, on the other hand, took me back in time, taking me back to when I was a boy and my grandmother used to make sour cherries in alcohol, an absolute delight that involved the whole family in removing the stones from the cherries, a laborious task to fill a huge glass jar into which the alcohol and, I believe, some sugar were added. If you strip away the alcohol, the flavor was exactly the same: fantastic, delicious, fresh, and thirst-quenching. After some hesitation about trying another glass, we finally settled on another glass to share, choosing the pistachio. Here too, the nature of the fruit makes the cremolato thick and compact; the pistachio flavor comes through strong and decisive, and the roasting is also clearly noticeable. What can I say? The cremolato, to put it simply, is a cross between a sorbet and a granita. The consistency is perfect: neither too runny nor too icy, with an intense flavor and a taste that truly captures the essence of the fresh fruit used. But the Casa del Cremolato isn't just about cremolato. The traditional gelato is also noteworthy, which we'll try on a future visit. The atmosphere is welcoming and informal, with a neighborhood and traditional feel. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Very good cremolato, prices and portions need to be reviewed but highly recommended

Opened today for Ferragosto, a nice surprise, we had a coffee cremolato with spectacular double cream, next time melon cremolato 😋

I took the sour cherry and cream cremolato, very good, with whole sour cherries

The acai cream is excellent. This is a place I'll definitely return to.

Excellent ice cream and cremolato. In winter, try the hot chocolate with cream!
