Otaleg
The most checkable method claim in Rome: a vertical churner chosen on purpose to keep air out, and recipes built by taking things away. The milk is assessed daily and the recipes moved to match it. Two specialist outlets rated it among the city's best in 2026.
What to order
Ricotta, orange and almond, or the liquorice made with Amarelli.
What we know
- A vertical batch freezer rather than a horizontal one, chosen deliberately to work less air into the gelato
- Recipes are built by subtraction — the shop's own phrase — removing additives and sugar rather than adding flavour
- The milk is assessed daily and the recipes recalibrated against it
- Radicioni worked Claudio Torcé's counter at EUR from 2010 before opening his own shop in 2012
- Production has been visible through glass since the first shop, which opened as a gelateria acquario
