Pitango Gelato

Our favorite spot for gelato, Pitango offers astoundingly good gelatos sourced locally, with milk from an eastern Pennsylvania farm that produces high-quality dairy in small amounts. While the gelato is certainly a main attraction, the coffee and hot chocolate are delicious as well. Pitango offers both sipping chocolate (very thick, decadent melted chocolate) and more American-style hot chocolate (the sipping chocolate mixed with steamed milk). Both are fantastic (consider trying an affogato with the sipping chocolate poured over a scoop of gelato). In addition to the amazing ice cream, it’s one of our favorite spots for hot chocolate in the city.
