Gelato Coming to DC's Logan Circle, Reston 'Hoods
Pitango Gelato will open in April at 1451 P St. NW in DC’s Logan Circle neighborhood, and at 11924 Democracy Drive in Reston Town Center, VA. Check out these details from the company:
- Gelato made with grass-fed, organic milk and fresh organic fruit and nuts
- Traditional Italian gelato techniques with an “almost obsessive focus on pure, simple ingredients”
- Milk sourced from owner’s dair, Spring Wood Organic Farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
- No artificial flavorings, colorings or processed ingredients of any kind.
These will be Pitango’s second and third locations — the first shop opened in Baltimore in 2007.
