Fantastic Gelato made by a locally sourced dairy farm…read more My wife & I stayed at the hotel next door and stopped in for a late light treat. The gelato I noticed was very fresh and had a large selection of flavors. It seems like a neighborhood spot, inside was packed and outside people were sitting and enjoying their gelato. I'm staying in Baltimore for the week and after dinner I walked to Pitango Gelato for dessert. There are lots of fruit flavored but I was craving their hazelnut gelato made with imported Piedmontese hazelnuts. Heavenly! Those ladies scooped me up something that's free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. I mean, grass fed cows are providing the organic milk for this Baltimore staple. I'm just passing through town, I made a stop to try the best gelato in town.

The texture of the gelato is a little gooey-er than ice cream. Service: 5/5 the gentleman at the counter was very patient with me and my friend while we tasted multiple flavors. Very sanitary and cross-contamination free. Ambiance: small storefront with two tables to sit and a small bar, nice if you just wanted to sit with a coffee and ice cream for a bit.

Tuesday 3/25/25 I…read morefound out about this spot on a Reddit post that was mentioning the best desserts in Maryland. I was in Baltimore so I had to go try it. The spot was hard to locate at first until I realized that it's located in the food market. I came for the popular honey graham ice cream but also for my favorite flavor: cookies n cream. Sadly, they didn't have any cookies n cream at the moment, but luckily they did have the honey graham. The service was solid: the worker was nice and I was able to sample four flavors (key lime pie, honey graham, vanilla bean, and chocolate love) without any issue. After sampling the flavors, I decided to get a triple cup of 2x honey graham and 1x vanilla bean. - The honey graham was like that (I see why it's popular). I let my mom sample it, and she enjoyed it so much that she got her own the next day. - The vanilla bean was pretty good and paired well with the honey graham. This spot has some good ice cream that I'd be open to returning for more (hopefully they have cookies n cream next time).

It had been awhile since I had some ice cream from Taharka Brothers, so when I went to R. House I…read moreknew this was a perfect opportunity. I usually get the "Honey Graham", but I saw that they now have "Salted Honey Graham" too and I decided to try it. The service was very fast and friendly.

If it's nice outside, you better believe this place has a line already formed. This ice cream shop…read moreis an absolute Baltimore gem. The variety here is incredible. They've got everything from hard ice cream flavors to smooth soft serve, Dole Whip (dairy and gluten free - win!), and milkshakes. No matter what you're in the mood for, there's something for everyone. One of the best touches is that they even offer a "doggie delight" which includes their soft serve and 2 milkbones. Love that your pup can enjoy a treat too. My doggie approves! The atmosphere is welcoming and fun. It is also convenient as it has windows to order outside, making it a great spot to stop by with friends, family, and your dog. Definitely a place you'll want to come back to again and again!

After dinner at a nearby red sauce Italian restaurant, the GrandKiddies and I stopped by Vacarro's…read morefor dessert. It did not disappoint! Even though the temperature was in the low teens with a windchill around zero, GKs all got ice creams. They only issue any of them had was that the gargantuan sizes were still not big enough; taste was that good. Me, I picked up a sfogliatella riccia to enjoy as a post-theater late-night snack. We also picked up a bunch of Italian cookies to take home. We had to hide them so the GK vultures couldn't get to them early. Vacarro's had a great selection even at 6PM. The bakery aroma was fantastic, seating was plentiful, prices were reasonable, and parking (street and for-pay lot) close by. It's a must-stop destination whenever you make it to Little Italy. Mangia, mangia!

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

I sampled the key lime ice cream, which had graham cracker crumbles! OMG!!! Delish! Then I was given a sample of the peanut butter cup! It was delightful! I ended up getting the peanut butter cup which was truly an excellent choice! However, I'll be back for the Key lime! There's no room inside, however outside there are a few tables to sit and enjoy! I can't wait to go back!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I placed an…read moreorder through DoorDash, only for it to be canceled almost immediately. Since the order was processed on my card, I'll now have to wait 5-7 business days for the funds to be released, which is frustrating in itself. What made the situation much worse was the customer service. I called the store simply to ask what happened, but before I could even finish my question, the employee interrupted me, said, "We're busy right now," and hung up on me. When I called back to understand why I had been hung up on, I was passed from person to person without anyone taking responsibility. The only explanation I received was, "We're busy and prioritize our in-person customers. Anything else?" I completely understand that restaurants get busy, and I have no issue with a delayed order or even an occasional cancellation if necessary. However, being treated dismissively, interrupted, and hung up on for asking a simple question is unacceptable. Being busy is not an excuse for disrespectful customer service. If your store is unable to fulfill DoorDash orders during busy periods, that's understandable--but don't accept them only to cancel them immediately, leaving customers waiting days for their money to become available again. A little courtesy and professionalism would have gone a long way.

I ended up waiting a few minutes, but there were others in the back standing this whole time. I asked to try 2 flavors, and this person who had finally walked over said ok two scoops? I said no I'd like to try, they responded saying 1 sample per person (but it was the tone that turned me off). I tried the flavor I was most unsure about and moved on. They do give a good amount of ice-cream, and they said something about it being the only _____ dairy ice-cream in Baltimore. It was decent ice-cream but I dont need to go back. Otherwise seemed like a cool spot, with a few meal deals and specials.
