Handmade gelato in Cairo is a real treat. The picture window in Stavolta means you can see the kitchen where they experiment with flavours, that vary each week depending on what is in season. Date with roasted almond, hibiscus, gooseberry and coconut have featured, but these go brilliantly with regular flavours like dark chocolate and cheese cake. They offer free tastings but at 10LE for a scoop it's easy, and fun, to experiment!

Round the corner from the Trevi fountain, a little bit away from the tourist hordes, is the San Crispino gelateria. There's usually a long queue, so you'll know where it is before you get there. The flavours are really inventive - last time I had honey, ginger and cinnamon - and the quality of the gelati is fantastic. Definitely the best gelati in Rome.
