The gelato flavors are truly unique (some of my favorites being lemon opal basil, Thai coconut, pineapple honey lime, valrhona chocolate amargo), and the texture of their gelato is smooth. They craft their gelato every morning at their Georgetown location, with their ingredients either fresh from local farmers or of the highest quality possible. Since ingredients vary depending on season, this means you have a menu that varies every season. They have locations in Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Bethesda, and a newly opened location in Fairfax (Mosaic District). Ive only been to the ones in Dupont Circle and Fairfax, but they are both very cute gelaterias. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, a neighborhood favorite. Delizioso!

Dolcezza may be my favorite ice cream/gelato place of all time. They have inventive and creative flavors. None of the flavors taste like candy versions of themselves that you might find at inferior shops (like a cherry gelato that tastes like cherry candy rather than cherries). Dolcezzas flavors are the real deal, only magnified. They just pop in your mouth. Where else can you find lime cilantro, vodka watermelon, black sesame, and other great flavors? Plus, the staff are always pleasant, funny, informative, and willing to let you try before you buy. Its a small shop and there isnt much seating, but you will probably inhale your gelato before you make it to your car, anyway. It is so good.

I havent had coffee in a long time, but in for a long night with work. Decided to drop in and get an iced coffee, since I was in my fave hangout area of Fairfax County, Mosaic District. This is possibly the BEST ICED COFFEE Ive ever had. I can CLEARLY taste a huge difference between this and some other places Ive had iced coffee. The place is fairly clean and they play great music piping through the speakers! The guy that rang me up asked me did I want something to eat with my iced coffee.......though they sounded good, no can do (wheat allergy). They did have a gluten-free oat bar, but I passed. Friendly staff and good atmosphere!

This establishment has excellent, richly-flavored gelato with incredible textures. The flavors of gelato and sorbetto are exactly what Im looking for (rich flavors of gelato, refreshing ones in sorbetto). That being said, their products are incredibly expensive. I ordered a large, which ended up costing almost $8, and was maybe one cup of ice cream. If youre on a budget, I recommend their push pops ($3 for about five tablespoons).

Unique and delicious flavors that change regularly. They sell fun little push pops of gelato that are great on the go! In the summertime they go out to DC and sell their gelato pops in touristy areas - great for a hot day out with the family! The first time I went there with coworkers we missed the store sign! Its a bright purple florescent sign with cursive writing that can be hard to read.

Crappy coffee and poor poor service didnt even say hello to black guy and a semi Asian person in there were having their own conversation and barely acknowledge the fact that we were in the store and then the guy asked us to close the door and yes the next three people to close the door that we hunter from I wouldnt go back here especially after tasting the coffee it was garbage

Poor customer service. I came in last week and, though there was only one other customer who had been helped already, we were not greeted. Then when we placed our order the barista sounded like it was a problem or inconvenient to make our drinks. To be honest, our drinks were great, so it was clear the barista knew what she was doing. But we felt like an inconvenience.

Argentinian gelato and sorbetto, my favorite flavor is the Coriander Lime, which does not get recycled enough. They only make an appearance on a while, but this sorbetto is refreshing and delicious, with a nice combination of the strong coriander and the lime - tangy and citrusy. A little on the pricier side, this place is located in the Mosaic District.

The coffee here, pour-over, is fantastic. Among the best coffee I have ever tasted, and Ive been to Latin and South America, and am generally picky when it comes to my coffee. I havent tried the gelato, but if youre coming for the coffee you wont be disappointed. Great location too, on the super-walkable new mosaic district; great date area!

In the rising Mosaic District, this gelateria is a must visit! Some of the beat gelato Ive had with rich but light flavors, excellent texture, and perfect combination of sweet and creamy. Fruit sorbettos also available and amazing. Prices are reasonable, especially for such a delicious treat.

I love their gelato, definitely playful and great tasting, especially the salted caramel and pistachio, but I come here for the coffee. Im really obsessed with the Stumpton Coffee Hair Bender soy latte. Service is great. Looking forward to new gelato flavors and caffeine fixes here.

The mothership of the small coffee shack nearby, same beans, same machines, BUT THEY HAVE GELATO here! So get a scoop with espresso on top and rejoice. I recommend salted caramel gelato. Also usually less crowded than the coffee shack, especially during busy farmers market Sundays.

I feel so fortunate that Dolcezza is right in my back yard! For a treat I go there and get their chai, its great. But, what I really love are the homemade quince cookies that are made by a staff workers mother. They are to die for!

I really like Dolcezza! I find it to be an alternative to typical Starbucks. I only wish they had a bigger space with proper seating to enjoy eating pastries while drinking coffee. Happy to see churros and alfajores!

Excellent gelato and was surprised that the could make a quite respectable Flat White Coffee and even got to try my first pour over. Very relaxing and quiet.

Great gelato, not the best, but not the worst. Giving it a four because of price. A bit too expensive for gelato.

I am really curious as to whether it is the company or Google that has misspelled Artisanal. ?????
