Pitango
Description
Noah Dan, who spent his childhood in Trieste, Italy, founded Pitango in 2007 to re-create the pure and wholesome gelato of his youth. Still a family-owned business, Pitango now has eight locations in DC, Maryland and Virginia.
A quest to find the best milk led Noah to a family farm in Maryland with a herd of grass-fed Jersey cows. We set up our own dairy onsite to produce gelato with the freshest milk possible. We also prepare our sorbets there, starting out with whole, fresh fruit—not mixes or purées.
After flavors are blended on the farm, we churn every batch of gelato and sorbet on location in each of our shops to ensure peak freshness.
We churn our made-from-scratch products in house-- free from colorings, flavorings, and preservatives. We think you’ll taste the difference.
Located at 115 S. Union Street, the new shop is nestled among restaurants and boutiques, just steps away from King Street and the Potomac River waterfront.
Pitango’s Old Town location serves 20 rotating gelato and sorbet flavors crafted with a traditional Italian Carpigiani freezer.
In addition to frozen treats, Pitango Gelato & Coffee in Old Town will serve a full menu of premium coffees, along with a variety of croissants, cookies, scones and pastries made in-house daily. Croissants are hand-rolled at Pitango Bakery & Café, then proofed and baked fresh onsite in Alexandria.
