It’s a funny old world. There we were newly arrived in Rome, surrounded by living signs of ancient history that gave us so much today.
Even Monty Python posed on what have the Romans ever done for us - all right, but apart from the...sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Brought peace?
So luggage deposited our friends got a reply text from their daughter in Scotland essentially ya gotta get to this place as it’s the best ice cream ever and they coat the ice cream in choccy.
Dutiful doting parents did as instructed. Enter google (I guess) and location found I think he said pinned, so off we went past the tomb of the unknown solider - Tomba del Milite Ignoto - past the statue of the goddess Roma, the Basilica Ulpia, Trajan’s Column, Basilica Papale di Santa Marie just to name a few for ice cream. Yeesh.
So the ice cream was very good indeed and fairly priced but the servings weren’t over generous. There are no seats and you literally stand in a small space for service.
I always have a cone never a tub. I mean a tub? I can’t eat a tub. A tub usually brings a plastic spoon and our planet could forgo more plastic.
The chocolate coating was thin and slowed melting and was tasty. It wasn’t the best ice cream ever. But we did eat our weight in ice cream when we were in Rome. Now where did we put those ancient monuments?More
