My go-to flavor is the Stracciatella, but this time I decided to try the Blueberry Lavender. It was definitely unique and more of an acquired taste. I didn't pick up much blueberry, and the lavender was a bit overpowering for my preference. My only real complaint is the size of the cups. They give you a very generous scoop, but the cups don't seem large enough to hold it comfortably. My gelato was already dripping all over my hands before I even finished checking out. I appreciate the generous portions, but a slightly larger cup would make the experience much less messy and let you actually enjoy all that gelato without racing against the melt!

Plenty of chocolate for sale here as well as gelato options.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

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!

Stopped into Dolci Gelati in Old Town Alexandria and immediately ran into the classic problem:…read more"I'll just try a little something." Famous last words. Went with the Biscoff and pistachio gelato. Both were excellent, but the Biscoff is clearly the crowd favorite--I even asked the staff what people usually order, and they didn't hesitate. So of course I did the responsible thing and ordered it... and then almost didn't share it. Normally I'd pace myself. Not here. Also tried an Americano, which was surprisingly solid. Not an afterthought coffee situation at all--actually good enough that I'd come back just for that alone. What really stood out though was the staff. Super friendly, all smiles, really personable. I think the guy who helped me was named Avery--shoutout to him for making the whole thing feel like a neighborhood spot instead of "just grab dessert and leave." Bottom line: this is one of those places you end up going back to "just to try one more flavor," and suddenly it's a habit. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Old Town... which, realistically, will be sooner than I'm admitting.

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.

The overall vibe is great, cozy, welcoming, and relaxed.

Instant hit. I…read morevisited per recommendation from friends and local business owners and they were right. The coffee here was too darn good. 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.

The…read moreespresso was actually really good -- well-pulled and smooth, exactly what you'd expect from a solid shot. I got the hazelnut gelato, and the flavor itself was decent, but the texture really missed the mark. They advertise it as gelato, but it didn't have that stretchy, smooth consistency real gelato should have. It was more like regular ice cream with lumps instead of that silky texture. Service was good and environment was clean but the gelato... The taste was still good enough to save it from a 2-star rating, but texturally, it just wasn't what I expected. For comparison, Patango Gelato is a true 10/10 -- perfectly smooth, stretchy, and consistently amazing. D'Ambrosio's isn't bad, just not the authentic gelato experience it's advertised to be.

The pistachio sundae was amazing. I hope they bring that one back! I love that they use locally sourced ingredients and have a portion of their menu focused on seasonal ingredients. It's also cool that they collaborate with local restaurants to come up with very unique items. The H street location is conveniently located between Whole Foods and Solid State Bookstore. I usually stop here after grabbing groceries. They share a space with The Apollo apartment building so you can sit in the apartment's lobby, which is beautifully decorated, or sit inside Dolcezza itself. The ceiling in this place is stunning. The staff will gladly give you samples of the gelato if you're stumped on what to order.

I foolishly stood in line for gelato without knowing I could have went straight to the drink counter to order my drink there.

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.

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.
