Omg? It's been a long time since I last had gelato so I was extremely excited when we stopped by after dinner in RTC. It was close to closing time but the line quickly grew long (kudos to the employee who was working the front alone!). Store was clean and interior design was simple and modern. I got the pistachio + chocolate hazelnut and still think about it. The nutty flavor and creamy texture were perfection. RTC is a bit out of the way for me but we're already planning a trip to go back this weekend so I can get my gelato fix. Highly recommend! read more

Pitango Gelato & Coffee in Reston Town Center offers creamy gelato in flavors such as pistachio, hazelnut, and fruit sorbets, along with espresso drinks, cookies, pastries, and other beverages, including lemonade and matcha lattes. The clean, cozy setting in a central location makes it a perfect spot to relax and unwind after a stroll. Their gelato tastes good, with up to 2 flavors available in the regular size. The Stracciatella and Milk Chocolate combo was perfect--creamy, refreshing, and delicious--though the size felt small for the price. The café au lait was watered down and not good. Service was quick and efficient. read more

The iced mocha (w/Almond milk) was pretty good, and I paired it with a sipping chocolate (hot) mainly to see what the sipping chocolate tasted like. Both are really good and not that expensive. Husband ordered some good gelato. Nothing to drive 30 minutes for, but if I'm in the shopping area, I would stop by. read more

Incredible pistachio gelato. The dark chocolate hazelnut was also delicious. Together they were a divine combination. The service was friendly. The restaurant was clean. The bathroom could have used a little attention. Plenty of seating just outside the restaurant to sit and enjoy your sweet treat. A wonderful experience overall. Would definitely return. read more

Went here on a cold day, so the pastry and drink was a great fit! The service was good, the worker was kind and I loved how they brought the heated pastry out to me. This inside is small, not a whole lot of seating. 2 high bar tables and some normal tables. The lighting inside give a nice cozy feel to it as well. read more

Very cute gelato place in Reston Town Center. I tried the strawberries and cream and hazelnut. Both delicious and the right amount of sweet and creamy. You can choose to get two flavors in their smaller cup. They also allow samples as well. They have many options here so definitely something for everyone. Workers were polite and friendly and place was very clean. Would recommend. read more

4/5! Always love stopping by here when I'm in RTC. Definitely a good place if you are craving some sweets for dessert or looking to just hang around. The Food: For this visit, I went with a Pineapple Sorbet! I love fruity flavors, so pineapple sounded delicious to me at the time. The sorbet was flavorful and not too sweet! Perfect amount and the scoops they give are fair. The Service: Staff is always friendly and attentive when you walk in. Lines weren't long, but even if there were, it'll breeze by fast. The Atmosphere: The place was nice and clean, a good amount of seating for you to relax at. Overall, a 4/5! Great gelato spot! Always make a visit here when I'm in there area, so I'd highly recommend. read more

Ice cream, you scream, we all LOVE ice cream... or gelato lol I had the pistachio gelato which the server recommended, which exceeded my expectations. I have gotten the pistachio ice cream flavor from the grocery stores in the past but this one just hit differently. I also had my favorite ice cream flavor, which is matcha green tea... which I had no disappointments. It definitely curbed my need to make a matcha ice cream run. read more

My favourite gelato place in the area. Staff always friendly and helpful. But a little bit pricey.

I'm going to go with a five-star review. The service could not have been better and the gelato tasted great. Portion sizes are pretty small, but that's to be expected in a gelato restaurant. Service was outstanding, and they encourage you to try things. Dining room is immaculately clean and bright. read more

Gelateria in Reston Town Center. It's perfect for coming by for desert after dinner year round! They have some wonderful flavors, including the classic hazelnut you get in Italy, to other fruit/ sorbets too. Bit on the pricy side, but if you try a cup you'll see it's worth it. There's also seating area inside and outside the cafe with great views, especially when the weather is good. read more

this is my favorite gelato place when i'm in Virginia! usually i'm a huge ice cream fan but I loved that this gelato shop had unique fun flavors. I got something fairly normal like pistachio, and then a hazelnut(?) but excellent quality, very creamy and delicious. read more

This is some of the best gelato I've had in the NoVa! You know it's a legit place when there's no gelato mountains in sight. The staff was so patient with me and my friends as we spent eons trying to decide what flavors we wanted. FYI getting 2 flavors in a cone is the exact same cost as getting 1 flavor in a regular cup. I ultimately decided on the stracciatella and pistachio in a cone. They were exactly what I expected from good quality gelato; creamy, stretchy, and naturally colored. The pistachio had that classically earthy nutty flavor to it and the stracciatella had a good amount of chocolate chips running through it. There is some seating inside, but there's also a fair bit of outdoor seating for nicer days. read more

I've been occasionally stopping by Pitango for the past 14 years and their gelato has been consistently fresh/delicious! I also love trying new flavors whenever they add them. It is located between The Counter Burger and plant shop, easy to locate. When there's a line, it usually goes by quickly too. Service is also consistently great! read more

This is a perfect stop for tasty gelato in Reston Town Center. It can be a bit pricey ($7.25 for a small dish with 2 flavors; $8.75 for a medium/large dish with 3 flavors), but is worth an occasional splurge. They have many different flavors which are listed on the right side. If the line is not too long, you can sample different flavors. I enjoyed a medium large dish with a mix of chocolate, their traditional base flavor (fior di latte), and vanilla chocolate chip (stracciatella). It was really refreshing on a hot day. Payment is by credit card or phone only (no cash is accepted). You can get a glass or water to accompany your gelato or coffee. On the outside, they have a few seats, but the interior also has a few small tables. Pitango Gelato is a little tricky find. It's about 1.5 blocks west of the skating rink. It's nestled the alleyway between Morton's Steakhouse and Mon Ami Gabi. read more

The best post ice skating rink treat at Reston Town Center! Sure Starbucks is convenient but when you visit Pitango Gelato you are supporting a local, family-owned business! The boy and I stopped in for an American and latte and was happy to find that they use Vigilante beans to make their brews. They made my daughter a hot cocoa, which honestly was so good that I ended up drinking half for myself! Their hot cocoa consistently gets voted best in the city -- it's so thick you can almost eat it with a spoon! The staff was super friendly -- when they saw my daughter eyeing the gelato counter while we were wating for our drinks they did not hesitate to offer her a few little spoons to taste. We all left happy as a clam! Thank you Pitango! read more

Pitango is a real treat for both coffee and dessert lovers. They offer a delicious selection of gelato -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The latte and espresso drinks are beautifully crafted and prepared, and there are plenty of other coffee variations that are equally delicious. Whether you're stopping by for a sweet treat or a perfectly made coffee, Pitango consistently delivers a delightful experience. read more

Fabulous place for the best gelato in the area! They have a great selection of gelato along with sorbet. They also have plenty of homemade pastries and coffee to try. Two of my favorite flavors are chocolate hazelnut and Mojito! If you are unsure about a flavor ask for a sample. read more

Execellent gelato in the Reston Town Center with a good range of flavors, including sorbets, and well crafted coffee. They offer samples as well, and my reco is to go for the large where you can get a trio of flavors (at only $1 more than the 2-flavors medium). Try the crema, banana, and pistachio for a classic sampler or go for the mint straciatella and ginger for a more adventurous mix. Worth a stop! read more

This was my first time here, kinda tucked away from the street. The employee was very friendly and offered us some recommendations. inside gives cafe vibe. I got the mojito and raspberry! definitely going back to try the other flavors haha read more

Gelato is cool now, I've been led to believe. Problem is, I don't really know that much about it. PG fits squarely within the new trendiness of this old dessert style. The Reston Town Center has hosted NOVA familes and their shopping needs for several decades now. For those who have not seen, it's a large mall with mostly outdoor-facing, village style shopping as has been trendy in the last while. Nobody wants to shlep around a dark indoor mall anymore. It buzzes with that pleasant, suburban, well-maintained energy. There is a central fountain and a bandstand for summer concerts. Everyone's children are above average. The design language is of interest here. Ice cream shops tend to go only one of two directions - 1. Classic subway/industrial dairy, 2. Back-to-the-farm, with cows and stuff. Some shops do both. Gelato shops also sometimes push the old-country Italian vibe. In this case, the whole thing was pretty sleek and modern, with lots of wood, metal trim, and splashes of color (see pictures). The dining room was really spacious for a product that doesn't require very much room to consume. Staff were of course friendly and happy to explain the product. Had a mint lemonade float with raspberry sorbet - yes, it was very minty - the lemonade had been poured from the bottom dregs of a very large carafe, and so the mintiness was concentrated. This is my preference, honestly. The sorbet was high quality, I think. Very fruity. It was a very nice snack while walking around on a hot night. read more

I love it . The taste is always wonderful and the ice cream has a nice creamy consistency it is too good. The service is good they are pretty generous with their one scoop serve I must say. And lastly the ambiance has pictures of there delicious ice creams it will make your mouth water. If you haven't gone here definitely put it on your bucket list. By far best ice creams ever! read more

I was in Italy 2 weeks ago and enjoyed gelato in every city. After a lovely dinner in Reston Town Center tonight, 4 of us had gelato for dessert. I regret to say, the Pitango Gelato was such a disappointment. 3 of us had the chocolate chip, one of us had chocolate. The gelato was "sticky" (an odd gummy texture). $8 for a small~ I don't think I'll be back! read more

This is one of my dependable spots for gelato. The portions are smaller than ice cream scoops, which is standard for a traditional gelato as it is much richer in flavor. I really love the dark chocolate and coffee flavors but enjoy getting the seasonal flavors, like rhubarb, whenever possible. The lines do get long in the warmer months after dinner hours, so be prepared to wait. You can also get a pint to go if you'd prefer to enjoy at home. read more

All the sorbets and some of the cremas were frozen solid, so we couldn't order those. I had the cardamom and cinnamon gelatos which were smooth and creamy with very, very subtle hints of each spice.

In good conscience, I can't give this shop rave reviews. I wavered on 3 or 2 stars...ultimately this is a 2 star for me. Highly unlikely that I'll be back. Review caveat: this review is based on my ordering cups of gelato only. Last week in the dead of winter, we craved frozen custard. Not ice cream. Frozen custard. It was late - 830PM. Our go-to's were not an option: Rita's - closed for the season. Abbott's - we wouldn't get there before closing. Cold Stone, Baskin Robbins would be a definite NO. Pitango open till 10PM. Score. Gelato, not custard - we would make an exception this time. We hopped in the car and headed to Reston Town Center. I knew that Pitango wouldn't be cheap - I've been there before a couple times in the past years, again just for gelato. But I figured it would be worth the field trip to tame the craving. As we entered the shop, I saw the sample cup sizes with prices pasted on the cups sitting on the counter - WOAH! I did a double take! I wish I had taken a pic to post (someone pls do because surprisingly, there are no pics of the cups and prices in Yelp!). $6 FOR A REGULAR SIZED CUP! WT?! We were there now so it didn't make sense to turn around and walk out. No other options. Call us captive customers. So we ordered 3 cups and paid $21+ FOR JUST 3 SMALL CUPS OF GELATO. The positives? Our server was super sweet. It's not his fault he's working at a boutique frozen treat shop fit for 5th Avenue! He was super knowledgeable and helped us pick our flavors. I also liked hearing that the fruit gelatos are made up 60%, did he say?, of the actual fruit itself. Point being: it's REAL fruit flavor. - and the fruity gelatos DID taste high end. I never remembered Pitango prices being that high. I get that it's covid and businesses are hurting. You all know I'm a fan of small business establishments. But jacking up prices TO THAT LEVEL isn't going to instill customer loyalty imho. That was a turnoff in a huge way, I'm sorry. Also, it's telling that if you try to do a quick online search for cup pricing for Pitango, you find nothing. Hmmmmm. Even Pitango's website is no help. What are you trying to hide Pitango? Great service, delicious taste and a late closing time are all thumbs ups but gouging prices are what has me giving this place 2 stars. Curious to see if, as the weather gets warmer and more people start to come out for frozen treats, if this place will survive and/or if prices will come down. read more

This is an amazing little spot for coffee lovers as well as gelato and sorbet lovers! I would recommend as an after dinner treat like my husband and I did! I always prefer fruity flavors sans cream or milk so I chose the sorbet and it was amazing! Great flavors, excellent variety of flavor choices in sorbet as well as gelatos. My husband ordered a cappuccino which I tried and it was excellent as well. They coffee had a deep roasted flavor and the drink was barely sweet if at all. Just our type! If you find yourself close to IAD anytime soon or visiting the Reston., Virginia area, I highly recommend visiting Pitango! read more
