Dolcezza Gelato - Washington

A 4 stars for me. From out of town and found this place on Google Map. Recently visited NYC and had a really nice cup of Affogato so maybe I set my expectation a little too high. The presentation of my Affogato is not really that good. I know Affogato is gelato Expresso, but I got pour over expresso on the gelato (option for Whipped cream? . It was put into a paper cup so the expresso lost it's heat really quick and not able to melt the galeto with it, compared if you put everything in a glass cup.

The gelato is the best! They provide many different and unique flavors for you. You can have a cone for free!

Got some dessert here with my dad the other night. I was surprised but pleased that a small can be two flavors. My dad got Clementine and Pineapple honey lime. He said he enjoyed both but the pineapple flavor was a bit weak. I order Hojicha and Marscapone and berries. The Green tea flavor was incredible and not too sweet or bitter. We got a to go cup for my mom but I didn’t hear her opinion on the flavors. They have a sign that shows where they are sourcing their ingredients that I thought was nice. I wish there was some outdoor seating but I can understand if their location doesn’t permit them to offer that.

I've often walked by Dolcezza and the classy, old-school look of the place always caught my eye. When walking to my car yesterday I decided to try it on a whim. I can't speak to the coffee, but the gelato is excellent. City Center is a particularly pricey area of DC and unfortunately Dolcezza doesn't buck the trend. If I had one criticism I would definitely say that it's overpriced, but if you're in the area and feel like treating yourself then go for it. I had a large (triple scoop) Banana Foster gelato. It was smooth, creamy, sweet, and deserving of any other adjective you could think of for delicious gelato.

Dolcezza Gelato Coffee is a great place for a sweet creamy treat and an espresso. The mascarpone gelato was my favorite. It was very creamy and rich. All the other flavors are fantastic as well.
