I've slowly been trying different items on their menu and I haven't been disappointed yet. Everything I've tried has been so good! The staff is always helpful, quick, and friendly.

I was undecided if I wanted a hot or cold coffee so I chose both. It worked out because they were very tasty and unique. The baristas knew what they were doing . This is a place to work remotely or a casual coffee and conversation. There are food options as well that I'll review on my next visit. First impression 5 out of 5. Pro tip parking is at the real of the building and not paved fully. There are steps you'll have to decent to enter. Otherwise you'll have to walk in the main entrance around the street side of the building which is ADA accessible.

We went there 2 days in a row back to back. I brought 5 red bean taiyaki the 1st day only because…read morethe man had an attitude and also didn't want to make me the vanilla cream ones. The red bean taiyaki was pretty good and had a bit of a crunch when it was warm but kinda less so when it turned cold and soggy. A good point was that the red bean filling was not overly sweet like in some other dessert fillings. My sister and niece went back the next day to get more and was met with "What do you want?" in a really testy, I can't be bothered with you kind of questioning when it was their turn to order. This time he did make the vanilla cream ones but his overall attitude soured us to the patroning experience. Not sure we would go back again based on piss poor attitude alone. BTW, the vanilla cream ones were just ehhhh!

I had seen Dolcezza before during my many visits to Bethesda, but I have never been a big fan of gelato. I had no idea Dolcezza also served drinks. The staff were friendly and greeted me when I entered. There were a handful of people in line, but it moved quickly. I foolishly stood in line for gelato without knowing I could have went straight to the drink counter to order my drink there. The Blueberry Lavender Matcha tasted just as delicious as I imagined it would based on the image on the sign. The ingredients were fresh and flavors all complimented one another. I would definitely come back again to try more drinks, especially if they were just as good as this one :)

Unbelievable. I…read morethought I've had gelato before, had it in NYC, in upscale malls in the Middle East and this has reset all of it. Now I have my Northstar bite of gelato and know what to compare others against until I have it somewhere in Italy. Pistachio and hazelnut, a scoop each were fantastic. This is really a great spot to cool off on a hazy humid evening in DC after dinner. A service was fantastic and really has a quick turnaround on all the food. Definitely well worth the visit.

They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!

With the plethora of amazing dining options in the area for food, Pitango serves as the perfect post-meal treat. Or if you're like me, gelato is good any time of day and for any occasion. Plenty of seating inside with outlets nearby. Staff are courteous and kind. They allow you try as many flavors as you want. A combination of 20 staple and rotating flavors, there's really something for everyone. We eventually opted for two flavors, the strawberry and orange dark chocolate. Absolutely delicious. The flavors are bold and the gelato itself is creamy smooth. The consistency in both was apparent -- they clearly use high quality ingredients. Highly recommend giving them a try. This will be our regular gelato stop whenever we're in Alexandria!

It's an international brand, and I've tried it elsewhere and enjoyed it. The Georgetown location is…read morea conversion of a old running store. It's kind of on the edge of the stretch, not the highest foot traffic area, but definitely one of the worst car traffic spots. They have a set of ordering kiosks, and will call you out when they're ready for your order, including the selection of flavors. I got a crepe with gelato; although it said two flavors were included they offered me three small scoops for some reason, which still wasn't a ton. Honestly just getting the basic gelato in a cone with or without a chocolate or a macaron is better. The location has two floors, and you won't hear the honking so much upstairs. Service left something to be desired; I don't begrudge anyone who works for a living but it was not as high-caliber of an experience as I've had at other Amorinos. It also matters that this isn't the best ice cream in DC or even in Georgetown, and we have local gelato as well.

All were perfectly creamy and not overly sweet. Chefs kiss! I appreciated that they offer mini scoops for $3 in a cup with a cone- just the way I like it! Their gelato display was also beautiful. They have an array of non-dairy sorbets on hand as well with fun flavors like lemon lavender. I'm a sucker for hard to find and clever flavor combinations. The cherry on top? Friendly staff and clean space. Highly recommend!

I was…read morecraving sorbet, and while I was waiting in line, I spotted the barista, Will, crafting coffee like an artist. I told him to surprise me with a drink (check out the video below!). For the sorbet, I was recommended the Lemon Opal Basil and Sour Cherry flavors, and BABY... my taste buds were dancing! Then I grabbed my surprise coffee from Will. He made me an iced Oat Milk Dolce Delizia with a hint of vanilla, and it was right up my alley. After the very first sip, it was an instant connection... with the drink, of course. The vibes were so good that my friend and I ended up sitting there talking for a couple of hours. Between the incredible sorbet, my new favorite coffee order, and the cozy atmosphere, Dolcezza has officially inspired me to start going on late-night coffee hunts and yap sessions. I'll definitely be back! Oh, and fyi... it does get a bit crowded, BUT don't let that scare you away! Everyone was super considerate and didn't linger once they finished eating, so others had a chance to grab a seat and enjoy the space too. So don't get overwhelmed--just be patient, soak in the vibe, and it'll be worth the wait! Line moved pretty quick.

I'm a Dolcezza fan and have been a customer for years. My go to for coffee is the Dulce De Leche…read morelatte. Perfectly sweet and creamy. I've tried other DDL lattes from other coffee shops around the city and this one is by far the best. It's good hot and iced. The seasonal strawberry matcha is also very good. This place is great for the seasonal drinks and gelato flavors using local ingredients. My absolute favorite seasonal flavor is the Blackberries and Cream gelato. I ate it so much last summer that I could see the color of the gelato get darker as the season progressed and as the berries reached their peak. I got a few hand packed pints to keep in the freezer but they didn't last long. The mascarpone & berries is my favorite classic flavor. I've been to every Dolcezza location in DC and my favorite is the DuPont location. The baristas are chill and somehow their drinks taste better than the other locations. Not sure how that's possible but I notice a difference. I think it has something to do with how the drink order is entered at the register. At another location, I noticed my DDL latte was entered as a latte with DDL syrup and it was noticeably off. Not sweet at all. When I asked the barista he said there was no DDL button but at DuPont the drink is perfect every time. I'm not usually focused on nitpicking but if I'm paying $10 for a coffee, I expect the taste to be consistent regardless of location. Back to DuPont. This location has decent seating but definitely isn't appropriate for longer study sessions during busy times. There's a large communal table and bar style seating along the front window that is great for people watching (or construction watching). It's conveniently located, about a 10 minute walk away from the DuPont metro. Is Dolcezza expensive? Yes. Will I continue to use my discretionary income on $10 coffee and gelato. Yes, because it makes me happy and it's an act of self care.
