Sanpietrini are one of the signature products of Gelateria Fassi and consist of small cube-shaped portions of gelato coated in a thin layer of chocolate. Their name is inspired by Rome’s traditional cobblestones (“sanpietrini”), which the cubes visually resemble.

The interior features creamy gelato in flavors such as pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate, or zabaglione, while the chocolate shell provides a light snap and textural contrast. The cube format makes them easy to serve and suitable for portioned tasting or dessert assortments.

They are often sold in mixed boxes containing different flavors, which has made them a popular gift item as well. From a sensory perspective, the combination of smooth, cold gelato and a delicate chocolate coating creates a balanced interplay of sweetness and texture.

Over time, Sanpietrini have become closely associated with Fassi’s identity and represent a distinctive example of Roman gelato tradition.
