Pitango, an artisanal gelato shop, bakery, and cafe, is opening its seventh location at the Wharf in DC. The family-owned business has locations in DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
The new location at 605 Wharf Street, SW is expected to open in Spring 2024, according to Popville. The latest Pitango Gelato & Coffee location will serve its popular Italian gelato, sorbets, pastries baked in-house, and a coffee menu.
The family-owned business was founded in 2007 by Noah Dan, who spent his childhood in Trieste, Italy. He has been re-creating wholesome gelato since he was young.
“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,” Pitango’s website reads.
