" I recently tried the seasonal berry sorbet and wow, it was superb! Perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The staff recommended it, and I couldn't be happier with their suggestion. Super cozy atmosphere, perfect for a sweet escape from busy days. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pitango Gelato & Coffee has become my go-to spot for a sweet treat on a hot day! The variety of gelato flavors is impressive and they’re more than willing to let you try as many as you like. I particularly enjoyed the dark chocolate and straciatella; both were delightful! The outdoor seating area gives a lovely view of the waterfront, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day. My only complaint would be the pricing, it can get a bit steep especially if you want to try multiple flavors. Still, I’m happy to pay for quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" The gelato at Pitango is undeniably exceptional! During my visit last week, I got to try the lemon sorbet and hazelnut gelato—both were bursting with flavor. It’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients. The space is small, so it can get crowded, but I think that adds to its charm. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff here are wonderfully friendly, but I found the gelato to be just okay. The flavors, while interesting, didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. Perhaps it was a matter of personal taste, but I was a bit underwhelmed overall. I think other gelaterias in the area outperform Pitango in flavor depth. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re a gelato lover, you owe it to yourself to visit Pitango! I thrilled at all the unique flavors they offer. The mango I tried was exceptionally fresh, and the consistency was just right. The prices are a bit higher, but I completely understand once I tasted their gelato. It’s that good! " (*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*)
