Palazzo del Freddo (Fassi) Reviews

Fantastic place with fantastic ice cream and sweets. Inside you will find a very large selection of delicious ice cream and, rarely, ice cream parlors have plenty of space and tables. It is worth seeing the old ice cream machines. I would recommend.

Ancient artisan ice cream shop where you can eat quality ice cream at competitive prices, a wide choice of local flavors, large and welcoming with many tables available to customers to taste the products of the ice cream shop. Very kind efficient and professional staff. I recommend the ice cream cone or the sanpietrino an excellent semifreddo with different flavors of ice cream and covered with dark chocolate

What about the ice cream king! Excellent quality and great prices! Always full during the whole week, then there are days when you can take advantage of takeaway ice cream offers! Impeccable organization they give you the ice cream bowl of one kg with ice based on the distance from home and it reaches perfectly at temperature at deatination! Only recommendation, when you stop the car in a double row check that there is no one who has to go out, because with the mess that's inside you can not always hear the horn!

This is the best place for icecream in the Chinatown area of Rome near Termini station. Always busy with people and alot of them are locals so you know it is good. Huge beautiful antique hall with alot of noise around you but if you can stand it take a seat and enjoy your gelato.

Certainly the best ice cream in Rome at the oldest glacier in the city!

Best ice cream in a quality / price ratio. For me unbeatable!

Fassi, an ice cream institution in Rome, although perhaps it has dropped slightly in quality. Prices remained the same since 2003. The owner's proposal to remove some parking spaces for an outdoor area is good, which unfortunately will remain only on paper due to the inertia of the current administration of both municipality I and Rome capital.

Very delicious ice cream and for 2.50 for 3 Gustos is the super cheap. Cream is free. Great!

If there was an ability to give 50 stars, this ice cream would definitely deserve it. Very affordable and with an amaxing taste. Best one I've had in whole of Rome.

When the ice cream is really artisan and ... secular.
A building completely dedicated to ice-creams, sandwiches, tiramisu, everything is frozen!
Roman institution, in the middle of the Chinese Elysian fields

Historic ice cream parlor of the capital with a good variety of flavors and exquisite goodness

If there was no Fassi, they would have to invent it more unique than rare place, fabulous ice cream, pleasant places. The only flaw is that they should put the number given the large turnout at any time of the year. 5 stars are however deserved

You can choose a variety of delicious and varied gelato from other places !!
You can have cream on top and ask for it.
Before I went here, I ate a lot of lunch and ate a 2 euro cup!
Delicious!
I want to go again

Fassi ice cream is always delicious ... a guarantee since 1880

Always fantastisco, excellent ice cream, courtesy pity that they have removed some flavors that were delicious. Great

Beautiful historical place where to enjoy an excellent ice cream I was a guest at GENIUS CREATIVE WRITING SCHOOL which has the school's location convenient to reach by public transport in the center of Rome, beautiful evening and what an ice cream

the place and 'beautiful but the ice cream is not' so good as it was 35 years ago.

I took a granita and they served it to me in a thick plastic glass (moreover in the shape of a goblet with a nice wide base) with a mega teaspoon always of plasticona, all, at least in appearance, not recyclable. I find such an environmental impact absurd for a granita! But wasn't disposable plastic prohibited?
I won't go back for sure.

Great ice cream
Nice staff and a lot of cleanliness
The best ice cream shop in Rome
I went there this morning to buy a takeaway ice cream box .... exceptional

Coconut is always a difficult taste
The cream was not very compact (perhaps the heat)
The idea of client numbering at the bottom of the bill is brilliant and avoids discussions about who came first.

Rude and very unprofessional owner. We went in and said clearly "a quick thing because I want to go" and the customers in front of us rolled their eyes because, he said, too slow. Incredible and I also wanted to give him my money for an ice cream that did not even seem so good, with poor prices, unclassifiable service and potentially beautiful but poorly maintained and messy location. In short, a waste of time

I had three flavors of three euros, a size cup and a 2.5 euro cone, but there weren't many cups. Ice cream was poured just as high as the cup. On top of that, only fresh cream was poured ... and ice cream was melted too much.

I'm so sorry but ice cream is no longer what it used to be.
Not to mention the anything but friendly staff ...

This century-old ice cream shop can be said to be the oldest ice cream shop in Rome. In terms of the size of the ice cream shop in Italy, it is huge. There are many seats to eat slowly. This shop knows more Chinese than Italians. Because he is in Rome, the Chinese go to Vittorio, so many Chinese patronize every day. Rice flavor is a specialty of his family. The grains of rice inside have the feeling of Thai rice kernels eaten as a child. I think the price of this house is the lowest in Rome. For a small serving of ice cream of 1.6 Euros, you can choose three different flavors. The portion also feels like the other's central serving. If you want to eat this delicious Gelato every day, it can also be sold as a catty, packed in a foam box and taken home to eat slowly.

Unbeatable value for money.
At Fassi they know how to make ice cream.

The ice cream is very delicious and the cost is good. It is the oldest and most traditional house in Rome.

It is always a magic to enter this historic ice cream parlor! And the ice cream is always the top

Always excellent and abundant ice cream that can be consumed while sitting comfortably at the table.

What surprised him most is that it is not expensive, it is the largest ice cream parlor in Rome.

The price is good. And it's a gelato that locals also admit. Compared to other places, there are many types of gelato, and even if you order them with large cones or cups, they are cheaper than others. And the taste is great. The downside is that it is crowded with travelers during the vacation season.

After more than 40 years I have known him he has maintained the characteristics of craftsmanship that have always distinguished him by ice cream and semifreddo to taste

Historic ice cream parlor in Rome that has remained intact over time, the ice cream is good and the prices are excellent.
On summer evenings and on holidays it is always full

Absolutely, one of the best gelatos that I had for a reasonable price. It's a must try in Rome. The flavours test very rich, natural, and savoury. Can't wait to visit this place again.

For these prices you can buy the cheapest ice cream in Rome. I recommend, huge selection.

Ice cream like everywhere else in Rome. Nothing unusual. But there is a huge unregulated queue, a crowd of people and everything is dirty.

A great Roman tradition invented by a brilliant Sicilian

Ice cream again good, too bad the few staff who clean the tables.

Best gelato in town!
I went there everyday and sometimes even twice a day.

The structure needs a breath of renewal, in my opinion. Good products, but nothing that cannot be found in other ice cream shops.

Best gelato. If you're Korean, try risotto and pistachios.

High quality ice cream, I have been going there for years I highly recommend it.

Fabulous gelatto, due to the fact that it was far from our accommodation we only visited the place twice in a 4 days vacation. I strongly recommend the rice flavor.

One of the symbols of the Artisans of Rome, not to be missed!

Great ice cream, lots of flavors. But the granita of coffee with cream is not beaten.

Very good artisan ice creams, tasty and well prepared, served cold with cones and cups, staff available 24 hours a day, always with a smile, kind and courteous

What a disappointment. I remembered a historic place and an extraordinary cream ice cream. There is nothing left

The oldest ice cream shop in Rome a joy x the throat

Even though it has remained the name for years, the Chinese bought it. The ice cream is always good

The ice cream is of quality and can boast a great variety

My ice cream always courtesy, tastes and so much choice. Try the red orange taste

In a sea of ice cream shops that make creaminess with cream (which cancels the flavors of the ingredients) Fassi continues in the tradition with classic and decisive tastes and flavors. I highly recommend it. In addition there is drinking water from a fountain inside the structure and the possibility of sitting at tables without extra charge.

Every time I visit Rome, Fassi is a fix place to visit.

What a surprise when you are entering the place! The selling is at 5 meters and the place is immense. The ices are excellent and this is a good example of italien Gelato

They were among the best ice creams in Rome.
Many flavors and a single flavor.

Ice cream from the golden days! Excellent ice cream and a wide choice of brioche and cupped cones, making even sweet snacks available

A good ice cream since always but not special for me ... good the Ninetto with cream a classic of their .....

It was delicious! It was good that you could taste three flavors for 2 euros. I ate risotto, red orange, and pistachios, and I was satisfied. The red orange was so refreshing that I personally liked it !! By comparison, the sorbet feels more like a fruity ice cream than Giolitti. Rizo is unique because it has a lot of rice. I ate deliciously, but Giolitti's taste was a little more. Variety at a low price and taste without failure !! I think

Luogo storico, gelato ottimo e imbarazzo della scelta!

The ice cream is very good and the prices really fair, the only thing I don't like is the sitting room is quite shabby, you should contact a good interior design studio to give it a new light.

Ancient in name and quality. Now besieged by the succession of customers but is no longer what perhaps 30 years ago. The ice cream does not exceed the maximum levels as the house promises and the line starts right outside the ice cream parlor.

Place assigned to the consumption and take away of the delicacies produced by their craftsmen.
I have been attending it for many years and I must say that at the dawn the choices, although less "cool" than the current ones, were perfect in quality and taste: today we are trying at all costs to amaze with the excuse of innovation, forgetting that some sectors are rooted in tradition and it is itself that determines their location and popularity.
Quality ingredients and variety of choices make it a must in Rome even if located in a non-central or easily reachable urban area (it is close to the metro but very far from other places of cultural / tourist interest in the city, you have to go there on purpose ... but all in all it is definitely worth it for quality ice cream lovers).
Internal environment substantially unchanged that does not allow space for current fashions ... fortunately !!!

Historic Roman ice cream parlor! Great zabaglione ice cream! The Sanpietrini semifreddi are also interesting .... but it will be for another time!

I went this evening to this old ice cream shop that I haven't visited for a long time
I had a very good coffee granita with double cream, really excellent and I would say also abundant at a more than good price
My judgment cannot reach more stars for the lack of cleaning of the tables where you can sit freely and this is true but especially in covid time I expected them to be cleaned it is not so and I'm sorry
