Gelato, cupcakes, pastries, vegan options, and gelato sandwiches
"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
"Partnering with HalfSmoke at the Bethesda kiosk, D.C.-based Dolci Gelati produces two dozen gelato flavors (including vegan toasted coconut, tiramisu, and cookies ’n cream) for the site, making use of the large ice cream freezer left behind by the previous tenant." - Lenore Adkins
"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
"The homegrown gelato shop is selling its Natitude gelato—normally only sold at Nationals Park—at its Shaw store, and I can swing by for a free cup while supplies last." - Tierney Plumb
"I grab Natitude gelato, usually sold only at Nationals Park, now available at the Shaw store, and wear Nats gear on game days to get a buy-one-get-one-free small cup." - Tierney Plumb
