I prefer to get mine with dark chocolate ice cream as it makes for a rich & not too sweet affogato. They have a beverage menu, gelato & sorbet menu, as well as frozen pints of gelato to-go. The three girls working today were wonderful & friendly which was refreshing to see as the last time I came the staff was rather distant & not engaged (miserable). Thanks for a very nice Sunday treat and for your gracious staff.

Venchi Tysons is such a treat. I tried the matcha and strawberry sorbet (both pictured), and every…read morebite was delicious--fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

We went there 2 days in a row back to back. I brought 5 red bean taiyaki the 1st day only because…read morethe man had an attitude and also didn't want to make me the vanilla cream ones. The red bean taiyaki was pretty good and had a bit of a crunch when it was warm but kinda less so when it turned cold and soggy. A good point was that the red bean filling was not overly sweet like in some other dessert fillings. My sister and niece went back the next day to get more and was met with "What do you want?" in a really testy, I can't be bothered with you kind of questioning when it was their turn to order. This time he did make the vanilla cream ones but his overall attitude soured us to the patroning experience. Not sure we would go back again based on piss poor attitude alone. BTW, the vanilla cream ones were just ehhhh!

Stopped into Dolci Gelati in Old Town Alexandria and immediately ran into the classic problem:…read more"I'll just try a little something." Famous last words. Went with the Biscoff and pistachio gelato. Both were excellent, but the Biscoff is clearly the crowd favorite--I even asked the staff what people usually order, and they didn't hesitate. So of course I did the responsible thing and ordered it... and then almost didn't share it. Normally I'd pace myself. Not here. Also tried an Americano, which was surprisingly solid. Not an afterthought coffee situation at all--actually good enough that I'd come back just for that alone. What really stood out though was the staff. Super friendly, all smiles, really personable. I think the guy who helped me was named Avery--shoutout to him for making the whole thing feel like a neighborhood spot instead of "just grab dessert and leave." Bottom line: this is one of those places you end up going back to "just to try one more flavor," and suddenly it's a habit. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Old Town... which, realistically, will be sooner than I'm admitting.

Staff is very nice. I ordered the Tuna Sandwich. The only reason I would not give this…read moreestablishment 5 stars is because I had to pay extra for capers on the sandwich, and there were barely 4-5 on each half. A total of 8-10 capers on a sandwich at an additional charge of $.75 seems steep to me, especially since the sandwich on wheat bread was already $15. I also ordered the Almond Croissant ($4+) and a very good Salted-Caramel latte (almost $8). I hated having to pay an extra dollar for oat milk, but I guess these days there is an upcharge for everything. Will I go back? Definitely. I will budget $15 once a month or every other week for the Tuna Sandwich. Definitely tasty!!

6.3/10 I'd give D'Ambrosio Gelato a 3 out of 5. I got a affogato with pistachio gelato. The…read moreespresso was actually really good -- well-pulled and smooth, exactly what you'd expect from a solid shot. I got the hazelnut gelato, and the flavor itself was decent, but the texture really missed the mark. They advertise it as gelato, but it didn't have that stretchy, smooth consistency real gelato should have. It was more like regular ice cream with lumps instead of that silky texture. Service was good and environment was clean but the gelato... The taste was still good enough to save it from a 2-star rating, but texturally, it just wasn't what I expected. For comparison, Patango Gelato is a true 10/10 -- perfectly smooth, stretchy, and consistently amazing. D'Ambrosio's isn't bad, just not the authentic gelato experience it's advertised to be.

Valentine's Day is around the corner~ and Dolcezza is offering new sweet February flavors for you…read moreand your loved one to treat yourself during this sweet month! I decided to swing by to the H Street location, so I could try the soft-serve as I've never had Dolcezza's soft-serve before (Not being available at all other locations yet). Here's all the new items for February that I got to try: Red Velvet Cake Gelato Passionfruit Mousse Gelato Red Velvet Sundae Passionfruit Sundae Passionfruit Szechuan Matcha Passion Matcha Soda Smooth, luscious gelato is calling your name, my favorites were the Red Velvet Sundae & Gelato, super tasty and rich flavors. The addition of red velvet cream cheese frosting + red velvet cake crumbs, really makes it taste like you're eating a cold but rich & SMOOTH helping of red velvet cake~ :) The Passionfruit drinks have two varieties: the Passionfruit Szechuan Matcha with milk, or the Passion Matcha Soda with soda water. I definitely enjoyed the Soda version more, it's not that sweet and more of a refreshing drink, I feel the flavors popped there and the milk version were a bit muted. Lastly I need to give a shout out to the staff, they are amazing here. So friendly and welcoming. As I saw them interacting with regulars & locals, the vibes were just warm and on-point, which is something we definitely need more of at these DC cafes during these trying times~

I got to try flavors that they don't sell in grocery stores and it tasted so fresh. I tried the black and white cookie and Vietnamese cinnamon flavors.

I don't think I've ever had a better affogato. I highly recommend stopping in for a treat if you happen by one of the store fronts!
