Weird policy that you’re only allowed to sample 2 flavors. I’ve come here countless times before and have never seen that policy posted anywhere. It was off putting and I’d rather spend my money where there is better customer service
Great Gelato here. Staff is super nice. Coconut and Oreo are deeeeeelicious!!!

I loved this location and when we got off the boat tour I was so excited to get some gelato and have a view of the water. There was a big selection but employees weren’t super friendly and the gelato wasn’t as creamy as I like. The portions were big but I tossed half of mine

This ice-cream place is located right by the water. You can’t beat its location especially if you are walking around in D.C. on a hot day. The selection of flavors was average, and you get two scoops in a cone. Friendly service, good ice-cream, but not as creamy as I would like it to be.

My children and I go here for a treat and the gelato is very good; so far we’ve tried grapefruit, tiramisu, and almond flavors. All of it was yummy. The scoop sizes are pretty generous too. It’s right by the fountain and there’s benches for ample seating outside that overlooks a nice view. I’ve always had really positive experiences with service—the staff here are kind.
Very good ice cream! Must try it!

Great service, helped us out even though he was in the process of closing!
We stopped in while exploring the area and hoped to cool off. Unfortunately, this shop only has about 10 flavors and was pretty expensive. $7 for two scoops. The ice cream itself didn't have the best texture, as if there was too much cream or raw milk that made the experience sit a little weirdly in our stomachs.
Sorbets are too sweet and an overall underwhelming vibe

Will melt and drip before you leave the store
The best ice cream!
Didn't even know this place was here. Very reasonably priced, and wanted to love it. Giving 3 stars as a warning: if you have a NUT ALLERGY don't go here. The server scooped our pistachio ice cream and immediately used the same, uncleaned scoop to get strawberry out of a different tray. Luckily, we don't have nut allergies, but I worry for anyone who does have one! Or any allergy for that matter :/
Wow. I didn’t think you could have BAD ice cream, alas this place proved otherwise. It was melting all over my hands before I was out of the door. I ended up with a sticky mess all over me and at the price point (NOT CHEAP) I was pretty irritated.
Great hidden spot in the city for cheap but tasty Gelato. I used to go here in between morning and evening job shifts while working in Georgetown. I was going in winter admittedly which is unusual, but they're open all year and it's tasty. I'd get strawberry cheesecake Gelato and relax while watching families skating on the rink from the balcony. Haven't been back to DC in years but it's one of my favorite memories from my time here.
