I prefer to get mine with dark chocolate ice cream as it makes for a rich & not too sweet affogato. They have a beverage menu, gelato & sorbet menu, as well as frozen pints of gelato to-go. The three girls working today were wonderful & friendly which was refreshing to see as the last time I came the staff was rather distant & not engaged (miserable). Thanks for a very nice Sunday treat and for your gracious staff.

Venchi Tysons is such a treat. I tried the matcha and strawberry sorbet (both pictured), and every…read morebite was delicious--fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

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!

Stumbled into the cutest little breakfast/lunch/dessert gem and immediately wanted to stay all…read moreafternoon The vibe is cozy-modern with pastries staring at you from the counter saying 'you know you want one.' I ordered the lavender latte (SO good -- floral without tasting like soap ) and the breakfast burrito, which was hearty, fresh, and exactly what I wanted with coffee. My friend got an iced tea served in the most charming mason jar setup that somehow made it taste even more refreshing. One of my favorite touches: you order at the counter and if you're dining in, they hand you an adorable little street sign marker for your table while they bring your food out. Such a fun detail that adds to the whole experience. Also... the pastry case deserves its own fan club. Between the croissants, muffins, cookies, and gelato, self-control is truly tested here. Perfect spot for a casual brunch, coffee catch-up, or treating yourself to dessert after a long day. If I lived closer I'd definitely add this one to my regular rotation.

Wow! This place is so much bigger than I thought it would be, having only seen it from the outside…read more-- and they have so many things, too! Lots of seating, cool-looking lighting, a great selection of drinks, yummy gelato (I tried the Cherry Blossom -- amazing!), soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries, oh my goodness! The staff are all very nice and welcoming, too .... When I went it was quiet but I hear it can get very crowded and at certain times, the only two upstairs tables are reserved for a runners' group. There are (rather steep, if only a few) stairs and also a ramp to get to the downstairs area, but the ramp is rather long and involves having to make a 180 degree turn. I think it's doable for those who can walk it but if one is using a wheelchair, I'm not so sure because there is a table in the space where some part of a chair-on-wheels might go -- so in other words, if the chair is very narrow, okay! If not, I think maybe not .... I didn't actually measure it, but it just seemed a little narrow to me. The bathrooms have really cool tiles in them, and there is a lot of stony texture on the exterior wall. There are some pretty, inspiring black-and-white paintings and at least one quote painted on the walls outside the bathrooms -- I like these kinds of touches a lot. I found the tomato soup to be much more filling and satisfying than expected, having forgotten one could become quite full on such a dish. I took much of it home and enjoyed it at room temperature on the porch a bit later in the day, so I can attest to the fact that this soup is delicious both hot and cooled down. I was surprised by the taste of the toasted cheese and was informed by my more-astute-than-I dining partner that all their bread is gluten-free. I hadn't noticed. I'm not sure exactly how it normally comes because seeing that they had basil, I requested a leaf and got a very nice-looking sprig! So very fresh, wow! This (early-ish spring) is probably a rather perfect time to enjoy the available outdoor seating area -- maybe I will next time .... I'm especially glad to know that my old fave Filipino grocery store that used to be on this corner has been converted into such a worthwhile, pretty, welcoming, and community-building hub! :-D Overall, highly recommended! Major Yay! :-D

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.

I decided to swing by to the H Street location, so I could try the soft-serve as I've never had Dolcezza's soft-serve before (Not being available at all other locations yet). Here's all the new items for February that I got to try: Red Velvet Cake Gelato Passionfruit Mousse Gelato Red Velvet Sundae Passionfruit Sundae Passionfruit Szechuan Matcha Passion Matcha Soda Smooth, luscious gelato is calling your name, my favorites were the Red Velvet Sundae & Gelato, super tasty and rich flavors. The addition of red velvet cream cheese frosting + red velvet cake crumbs, really makes it taste like you're eating a cold but rich & SMOOTH helping of red velvet cake~ :) The Passionfruit drinks have two varieties: the Passionfruit Szechuan Matcha with milk, or the Passion Matcha Soda with soda water. I definitely enjoyed the Soda version more, it's not that sweet and more of a refreshing drink, I feel the flavors popped there and the milk version were a bit muted. Lastly I need to give a shout out to the staff, they are amazing here. So friendly and welcoming. As I saw them interacting with regulars & locals, the vibes were just warm and on-point, which is something we definitely need more of at these DC cafes during these trying times~

I got to try flavors that they don't sell in grocery stores and it tasted so fresh. I tried the black and white cookie and Vietnamese cinnamon flavors.

I don't think I've ever had a better affogato. I highly recommend stopping in for a treat if you happen by one of the store fronts!
