Pitango Gelato & Café

I'm always looking for a new dessert shop in town, and this has to be one of my favorites!! I got the hazelnut and espresso flavors. It was $7, which was a little pricey compared to other places but definitely worth it. The flavors were extremely rich!

There's not that much seating inside, but people usually hang around outside, especially in the nice weather. The staff was very nice as well. I will definitely be back for some more gelato!

Ordered 2 sandwiches, a salmon avocado toast, a farro salad, bag of chips, and water to go for an outdoor picnic at $80+. Sandwiches weren't marked so we had to figure out what they were. It served its purpose.

Love gelato, but a little bummed Pitango did not hit the spot after seeing all of the highly rated reviews.

Customer service was great and the man behind the counter was friendly and let us try a few samples before we made our final decisions.

I got pistachio and hazelnut (my go-to gelato flavor) but while they did taste exactly like the nuts, they were just cloyingly sweet. I also noticed it when I was sampling the different creamy as well as sorbet flavors. The price completely shocked me because the smallest size was $7.50 and after tip, one small size was almost $10 which is wild.

Besides the gelato, Pitango also sells good-looking sandwiches and other Italian treats. They even have a temperature controlled box for their Prosciutto di Parma from Italy, which caught my eye instantly. I didn't get to try any of their other food items this time, but I'd come back and try one of their homemade sandwiches.

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Food is delicious, coffee is great and I'm somehow very productive when I work from here.

Only tried the affogato with dark chocolate gelato. It was good. Didn't get to experience the gelato by itself so somewhat hard to rate it. There are a lot of chairs available. Sat and talked with friends for a while after dinner. Customer service was good.

I frequent Pitango, and it's a great cafe to get a drink or a snack and sit for a few hours. The star of the show is their focaccia, which is freshly baked in house. Their focaccia sandwiches are incredible, with my favorite being the Mortadella. The combination of the crunchy focaccia with creamy mozzarella is already great, but the acidity and sweetness brought in by the pepperoncini and roasted bell peppers just takes it to the next level. The sandwiches are a little on the expensive side, but are worth it in my opinion. However, their drinks are very expensive, especially if you want a milk substitute. Regardless, this is a great spot in the Kalorama/Adam's Morgan area!

This Ice cream took me back to Naples will definitely be back again! Amazing so very very addictive and delightful

I recall before the pandemic this place was naturally crowded and had a great following. So glad that they seem to be back to normal and allow for inside seating. I really enjoy the vibe in here. I can't even tell you the flavors that I've tried in terms of the gelato, but what I appreciate is how fresh each one is and I'm never disappointed. The staff is very friendly, the place is really clean and I think the light that spills into this place just makes it so inviting.

I have sat inside, worked on my computer and have just done some people watching. I remember trying their food at one point and it was also very good and just light and healthy. I would definitely recommend this as a place to grab a cup of coffee, enjoy refreshing dessert and consider bringing your laptop and just plotting yourself down in one of the tables inside. You won't be disappointed:)

One of my favorite spots in D.C.! One of the first things I noticed was the employees. I don't know how the company does it, but every single worker is the most friendly, courteous individual you will find at establishments like these. An increasingly rare thing these days. The friendly service is matched by their incredible gelato. You can tell that it is made with real, fresh ingredients. The chocolate they use is unreal. Not overly sweet but with flavors that have you asking where have others been hiding it. The pistachio gelato is made with real pistachios, not some sort of pistachio flavoring. I always get a cup of their drip coffee to go with it. Really good.

I stop by Pitango often and have never had a bad experience. I'm betting you won't either.

What a nice little neighborhood spot. Great coffee, a fantastic chai, and some to-die-for focaccia sandwiches. Service is always prompt, even with a line. If you're looking for a place to sit and work at a quaint coffee shop, Pitango is a great option. Most recently, I tried their Milano and Mortadella sandwiches. Both were fantastic- the focaccia is the star of the show, complimented by simple, high quality ingredients, and not too greasy like a lot of other focaccias. The only downside to this place is the price. For two sandwiches and two chai lattes, the total came to around $51. Would recommend- just not an every-day spot.
