We discovered Pitango when we first moved to the area 18 months ago. The flavor is outstanding and I love that the ingredients are local and/or organic. The coffee is sensational also. In 18 months of coming here we have never been disappointed.

Was in Italy a few months ago, and this gelato was as good as any had there as well any place here. Would place it among the top gelato finds. Stracciatella was great.

Lots of flavors. I chose two Hazelnut chocolate and pistacchio. Both were creamy and full of flavor. Yes I would recommend going there.

Not only was the gelato absolutely delicious, but this place had catchy infographics on the ingredients they use and how menu items are made. The server was knowledgeable in coffee-making methods, and I enjoyed an espresso with sipping chocolate. Average price for a great place!!

I've been here a few times and really enjoy their gelato. At first, the portions don't look too big, but the flavors are so good and rich that the portions end up being perfect. It's a little pricy, but with the quality of the gelato I think it's worth it. In the summer, there isn't a lot of seating inside... More

My daughter lived in Italy for 9 months, and she says this is the best Gelato she has ever had in the states. I say it is the best I have ever had. They have an amazing assortment of flavors, dark chocolate orange and fresh raspberry was my favorite combination. This is a wonderful place to sit and rest your... More

It has a good selectioni of Gelato. For a scoop, it's like $5. A little too pricey for me to visit regularly.

Best gelato I have had since I was in Italy! The young people in our group also loved the sorbet. I will be back for more.

I love gelatos and had not found a good place to eat them in the Washington DC area until I found Pitango. The gelatos are creamy and very tasty. I had the Passion Fruit with Spicy Chocolate gelatos. Both were exquisite. My only complaint is the small portion you get for the money you pay. In Italy I would pay... More

Good coffee and great ice cream. Combinations are very light and the different flavor make this place very special. My very favorite is the mojito sorbet.
