" I just had the most delightful experience at Pitango. The gelato was to die for, especially the hazelnut flavor. It felt incredibly authentic and really took me back to my travels in Italy. The vibe of the shop is cozy and perfectly located by the water. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a great sweet fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I cannot agree with the hype. The sorbet was decent, but I found the gelato a bit too sweet and lacking in depth. I love trying new ice cream spots, but I don’t feel compelled to return to Pitango anytime soon. The location is convenient though. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Pitango was not as great as I had hoped. The store was busy, and while I appreciate that, I felt my order was rushed. The gelato I had was good, but I've tasted better. The staff didn’t seem very engaged which left a sour taste in my mouth. I did enjoy sitting outside, but I don’t think I would come back anytime soon unless I hear the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pitango Gelato & Coffee recently and was blown away by the quality! The pistachio gelato was so rich and creamy, it reminded me of my trip to Italy. The service was prompt and friendly, making my experience all the more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to savor more flavors! The atmosphere by the waterfront added to the charm too. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was really looking forward to this place, but my experience was somewhat disappointing. When I arrived, I had to wait a while for someone to take my order. The gelato itself was manageable, but not as rich as I expected. I wouldn’t say it was bad, just not what I was looking for. I might give it another try in the future, but I’m not in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pitango has some of the best gelato I have tried in DC. The texture is remarkably close to authentic Italian gelato, and they have a wonderful selection. It’s a bit small, and it can get crowded, but it’s worth it for the quality of flavors prepared with care. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Pitango was pretty good, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. I tried the affogato which was decent, but the gelato itself felt a bit too sweet for my taste. The location is nice, and I loved the outdoor seating. Just wish I had a better flavor experience. The service was friendly, though. " (*Curated Review*)
