Happy Birthday Dolcezza!!!!!!!…read more Came by to celebrate a joyous day with a great scoop of their Chocotorta ice cream. This was such a hit that I decided to get something to go. Huge fan of their gelato but this is my first time visiting this location.

The tiramisu latte may have been the best one that I've ever had and I've tried a good many. Service was direct and quick and there were a lot of grab and go options for pastries and sweet treats. Good amount of seating since it was a food hall.

Perfect place to get sorbet on a hot day :)…read more We were looking for a sweet treat after walking around DC and decided to try this place out! They have a vast selection of gelatos and sorbets in unique flavors - we ended up trying the passion fruit and mango sorbets. Texture was smooth and creamy, and not cloyingly sweet. Very refreshing and gave us a burst of energy to continue with our sightseeing!

Chocolate hazelnut was the agreed upon favorite flavor: it literally tasted like Nutella. The Black Tea was pungent, yet light: it tasted like tea, but wasn't overpowering. I would highly recommend and would love to go back. *My group sampled some of the sorbets and found them not as punchy or flavorful as we would have liked, so I would definitely recommend the gelato, not the sorbet.

We stopped in for Happy Hour. Or as they call it "Martini Happy Hour."…read moreWe enjoyed a dirty vodka martini and a dirty blue Martini - made with bleu cheese stuffed olives and a bleu cheese vermouth. Nicely priced at $12 each. Also served with the cocktails were a bottle of still and a bottle of sparkling water - very welcomed on our August 20,000 step sight-seeing tour. We ordered the $12 shrimp cocktail - 5 decent shrimp with two sauces. The $7 fries were insane! If we're in the area again on this trip, we'll definitely stop in again for Martini Happy Hour.

Dined in restaurant on a Saturday around 8pm. When I approached the hostess table, she asked "table…read morefor 2?" even though I was by myself. She was most likely on auto pilot and appeared embarrassed when she realized it. I politely smiled and said (confidently), table for 1. We solo diners need to be loud and proud! I digress... Before being seated I found the restroom. I found it odd that it was extremely dim. The main dining room was brighter than the restroom! I also saw the Photo Booth. Interesting addition. $5 for pictures. I was seated at a small round table with two chairs by the window. The restaurant was plenty busy, and I'm just glad I wasn't asked if I wanted to sit at the bar (I didn't). My server Noel brought two bottles of water: still and sparkling. I requested lemon slices, which he brought. And I proceeded to finish the entire bottle of sparkling by the end of the meal...guess I was thirsty! But I appreciated the option of both. I forgot to ask for a straw, but saw them in a container at the register right behind my table, so I got one myself. After ordering I noticed a nearby table had some bread so I asked Noel if they served complimentary bread. He said yes and apologized for not bringing it initially. Not that I needed it, but I don't eat bread with butter often and this was a night out to indulge a bit. There were two slices, nothing special. My food arrived within about 10-15 minutes and looked so scrumptious. I ordered the lamb and short rib meatballs and Brussels sprouts. The meatballs were pretty good, but what made them even better was the tzatziki sauce. I didn't realize the green rice was on one side of the plate until I was almost done. That tzatziki sauce was really all I needed to go with the meatballs. It was cool and creamy to go with the dry, meatiness of the meatballs. I honestly wish there had been more of it! I did not finish the rice, which didn't look super appetizing because of the intense green color. I will say though, I'm not a fan of spicy food but the tzatziki had a kick. I think perhaps due to chopped jalapeños. I tried to avoid them once I realized. The Brussels were delicious! Roasted to perfection, not too charred and not too mushy. I requested the green goddess sauce on the side because I'm not a huge sauce person, but once I tried it, I couldn't stop. Again, the combination of the creaminess of the sauce with the flakiness of the Brussels was a genius pairing. During the meal the beverage manager stopped by. I didn't have any drinks with the meal, but perhaps I will return to see what they have. Noel brought the bill at my request, then brought over the portable device so I could pay at the table. While that process is efficient, it's always awkward leaving a tip when the server is standing right there. Anyhow, overall it was a good experience and a delicious meal!

LAST STOP on the For the Culture: DMV Food Tour...DESSERT!…read more Tipsy Scoop was the very last stop of the tour, and honestly, the concept is GENIUS. Boozy ice cream with all kinds of different flavors, plus non-alcoholic options for people like me who don't drink. ‍ We were given three samples as part of the tour (don't ask me the names because I absolutely forgot ). I also bought two additional pints to take home with my own money, so clearly the ice cream passed the test! It was good, not overly sweet, and even the alcohol-infused samples weren't so strong that I couldn't tolerate them as a non-drinker. The shop itself is VERY tiny and was SUPER busy, with customers constantly coming in and out. The communication between the tour and Tipsy Scoop, however, was...interesting. The staff apparently didn't know our group was coming, and that was actually shared with another paying customer while we were there. There also wasn't much direction from the tour hosts, so our entire group basically walked into this tiny shop at once. Now, I completely understand why that was a problem. We were a LARGE group taking up a lot of space in an already packed store. What I didn't love was how the manager essentially kicked our group out. I understood the need to clear the space, but the delivery could've been handled a little better. At the same time, based on what we were told, it didn't appear Tipsy Scoop had been properly prepared for a whole food tour to descend upon their tiny store. So I'm not putting the tour's coordination issues on Tipsy Scoop. As a business, I liked the concept, enjoyed what I tried, appreciated having a non-alcoholic options, AND left with two more pints. Would I return? Maybe. Just not with an entire tour bus behind me.

All were perfectly creamy and not overly sweet. Chefs kiss! I appreciated that they offer mini scoops for $3 in a cup with a cone- just the way I like it! Their gelato display was also beautiful. They have an array of non-dairy sorbets on hand as well with fun flavors like lemon lavender. I'm a sucker for hard to find and clever flavor combinations. The cherry on top? Friendly staff and clean space. Highly recommend!
