PITANGO GELATO, Washington DC

I consider myself a hot chocolate snob, sort of. I love a great mug/cup of steamed milk with high quality chocolate. One of my top 10 places for fantastic hot chocolate.

Nice little treat!

Makes for a nice little after dinner treat, or something to snack on when walking around DC. Absolutely delicious - smaller portions/bigger price compared to a standard ice cream shop - but it's the price of quality! Try to go off-peak - and don't be...that guy that samples 10 flavors.More

Small, small scoops

We visited this ice cream shop today. We ordered three scoops. These scoops so small. I asked to add a little bit more. Its not really scoops, as I expected. We will not return there

Ahhhhhhhhh!

What a nice treat to cool down with. Rhubarb & pineapple sorbet unexpected but a great combination. Perfect sizing to hop in, grab a cup and continue on your travels, or just hang and eat it there. It was a great change from all the...sub-standard ice cream trucks hanging about. Go for it, you know you want some... and it’s better for you.More

Excellent Gelato

Really good gelato and cools you off when it's 99 degrees out. They even had Cinnamon. Close to the museums on the mall, the Nuseum and Fords Theater.

Refreshing respite from the heat

We had this every day during our trip to DC! To get out of the sun, be welcomed by friendly staff, and eat refreshing gelato was the most amazing experience. Our favourites were Tangerine, Stracciatella, Pineapple, Mojito, and Cinnamon. 100% Recommend to everyone who likes...gelato/sorbet!More

Super delicious gelato

We stopped by this place on our way home from watching the fireworks on the National Mall on the 4th. I had the hazelnut & crema and my mom had the pistachio and hazelnut. My combo was amazing. The star was the crema! My mom...enjoyed hers very much too. Definitely try it out!More

Great gelato near museums

Pitango has a cool vibe only blocks from the Smithsonian, Newseum and other museums in Washington. Great flavors and clearly popular among locals.
