Flor in Campo de Fiori

Ciao! Every week, I try a new gelato shop in Rome, throughout all the different neighborhoods. Each shop is evaluated by flavor, service and price. Each shop can be rated up to 30 points: 10 possible for each category. This week: Flor in Campo de Fiori 




Flavor: The flavor were excellent. For the most part they have the most basic flavors but they get the best of the best. All the best and freshest ingredients are used! I've tasted smoother gelato before but Flor still has a very good quality. What I like best is the Novita del mese. It's like an ice cream sandwich. Instead of eating the gelato out of a cone or cup, they put the gelato between two little cookies (they taste similar to a cone) and you eat it like a sandwich! 

Here are their flavors: 


  • Imperial Green Tea
  • Mixed Fruit 
  • Banana 
  • Pear 
  • Strawberry 
  • Coffee 
  • Citrus Symphony 
  • Tropical Fantasy 
  • Pomegranate 
  • lemon 
  • Chocolate 
  • Cherry 
  • Coconut
  • Pistachio 
  • Hazelnut 
  • Ginsing and Guarana 
  • Grandma's Creme
  • Flor Milk Cream 
  • Aunt Nina's Tiramisu 
  • Stracciatella 
  • Yellow Vanilla 
  • Dark Chocolate 


Flavor Score: 7

Price: The prices are middle of road. Not cheap but not outrageous either. 

Prices for cones are 2.50, 3.50, 4, and 5 euro. 

Cup prices are 2, 3, 4 and 5 euro. 

The sandwiches are 2.50 euro. 

Price Score: 7

Service: The service was average. One thing that did set them apart is they had English translations for each of the flavors and the ingredients in the gelato. That's extra points in my book because sometimes I don't know what exactly some of the flavors are. This isn't any seating inside but it located in Campo de Fiori so it's nice to sit outside on the benches and  people watch as people shop in the market. It's also one of the cleanest shops in Rome, so that's definitely a plus. 

Service Score: 7

Overall, this is an average gelato shop. I would reccomend it, but there are better one's in Rome worth trying, but it's location is very convienent. Especially if you've just had dinner in Campo and want to get some gelato for dessert. 

Overall Score: 21
