In Rome gelato is a staple. Without it, it is nearly impossible to endure the heat/thousands of tourists/dry dirty city. Gelaterias are found on every street corner, like pubs in Durham. Most gelaterias double as a bar. So on top of good ice cream you also get a drink. Drinking is allowed on the streets so I spent a lot of time downing my bicardi and gelato while trapsing the city. The flavors are in Italian but they usually put some sort of picture by what you are getting. We quickly learnt the basics for the flavors we liked.
