Pitango Gelato & Coffee, Fells Point

Pitango Inducted Into Prosciutto Specialists’ Group | Eater DC

"A months-old Adams Morgan hybrid gelateria and neighborhood eatery, Pitango Gelato & Café has earned entry into the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma for the attention it pays to gourmet meats, an honor that also extends to its sibling bakery in Baltimore, Maryland. To celebrate the membership, prosciutto specialist Francesco Lupo hand-sliced bone-in Parma ham at the newest of Pitango’s six D.C.-area locations, and the prized Italian ham is featured in the café’s sandwich offerings. The 40-seat AdMo spot serves an Italian-leaning menu packed with charcuterie, sandwiches, avocado toast, salads, and pastries, and the drink list has expanded to include more Italian liquors and aperitivo specials such as the Rosé-us Maximus (grappa, vermouth, prosecco, and club soda) and a Negroni. As founder Noah Dan says, “Prosciutto di Parma is magic! The whole product and process is incredible and at the same time it is so easy to ruin a good prosciutto by not paying attention to small details.” Pitango plans prosciutto-based events, gelato-making classes, and wine tastings to highlight that care, with announcements to be posted on its Facebook page." - Tierney Plumb
