Fior di Luna

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: Fior di Luna in Trastevere. 

  • Via della Lungaretta, 96, 00153 Rome
  • www.fiordiluna.com

Flavor: I will have to say, I just stumbled into this gelato shop because of the location. It was not the best gelato I've ever had. It was edible, but nothing to rave about. I don't think the freshest ingredients were used and by the looks of things, the gelato looked like it may have been sitting out in the display all day. It looked really old. They do have a few unique flavors though. Check them out!

Teeny Tiny Gelato 
Price: My favorite thing about Fior di Luna is the sizes of their cups. Instead of most shops who have a small, medium, large and extra large, Fior di Luna has extra small, small, medium and large. The extra small is 1.70 euro and it's such a cute little cup. It's the perfect size if you've just ate a big dinner and you just need a little bit of gelato to cure your sweet tooth. The prices are as follows: 

Cup: 1.70, 2.20, 3.0 and 3.50 euro 

Cone: 2.50 and 3.30 euro 

Price Score: 7 

Service: Fior di Luna has a great location. Located in the heart of Trastevere. There lot's of restaurants all around so it the perfect place to grab dessert. It's a small store and there's no seating inside or outside but it get's the job done. The staff was moderately friendly but they do allow samples, so that's always nice when you find a place that does that! 

Service Score: 7 

Overall, I would not recommend Fior di Luna. I honestly think it would be worth it just to walk a little bit farther and find a different gelato shop to eat at. But if you want just a little baby cup, then you should go get one from Fior di Luna. 

Overall Score: 19
