Gelato, pastries, vegan options, & customizable gelato pops
"With a steady stream of seasonal flavors created by pastry chef and owner Gianluigi Dellaccio, Dolci Gelati always has something new to try. Its dedicated storefront in Shaw sends out vegan flavors and cakes from a takeout window. There’s also Dolci digs in Old Town, inside the Smithsonian Zoo, and a new stall at National Landing’s all-outdoor Water Park food hall." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"Expanding local gelato purveyor Dolci Gelati serves gelato sandwiches in a variety of flavors like stracciatella, salted caramel, chocolate, and vanilla bean—all wedged between two thick chocolate cookies." - China Riddle
"For the special World Series occasion, the homegrown gelato shop imported its Natitude gelato — normally only sold at Nationals Park — to its Shaw store. Swing by on game days in Nationals gear for a buy-one-get-one-free small cup of gelato." - Tierney Plumb
"The changes will also be incorporated at Dolci Gelati’s first permanent kiosk in the Smithsonian Zoo, which opens this Saturday." - Tierney Plumb
"Its flagship Shaw shop sits at 1420 8th Street NW." - Tierney Plumb
