Pitango Gelato

I loved my cardamom gelato– also got the pistachio and stracciatella. The line was long but well worth the wait– my only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey. $ 7 or so for a normal sized cup. They also had some other eclectic flavors like granny Apple, rhubarb, and more.

Great flavors, especially the dark chocolate orange sorbet. The sipping chocolate is a decadent treat to be enjoyed when it’s chilly outside.

Pitango is definitely my favorite place to go for ice cream. Even after traveling to Italy and having the best local ice cream there, I have to say Pitango does not let me down the slightest bit.
My favorite flavors are Mojito, milk and honey, chocolate and hazelnut, black tea and grapefruit.
A little advice: Mojito and grapefruit mixed together would enlighten a surprise!

Wow this place is perfect, amazing gelato and vegan sorbets. The chocolate noir vegan sorbet with espresso is a dream.
Reason it’s not 5 stars– the dude working hear, young guy with red curly hair and a goatee, is obviously in an awful mood and not treating customers well. He’s acting annoyed to be here. His coworker, an awesome lady with short hair is making up for it.
Just left this place and excited to come back when he’s not here. Amazing food and solid prices

I’ll call it Pi-​TANGO because this place makes me wanna dance!
All you need is the chocolate hazelnut and chocolate noir combo for a pep in your step.
Awesome gelato, so creamy and smooth. It’s all about the consistency and this place has it down.
Visiting Fells Point? Take a walk a long the water as you enjoy your gelato. PERFECTION!

Pitango Gelato is such a gem. It may seem spendy (a bit under six bucks for a regular, which may look like a small to some), but the product is really very good. I’d recommend taking your treat on the go as there are only a few tables.

Staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly! I walked in not knowing what to get and they immediately started giving me samples and suggesting pairings.
Gelato itself was delicious as well. Ended up deciding on cardamom and matcha — they were both delicious!
One downside is the price, but it’s truly a one of a kind place!

The gelato here is great, with unique flavors, and fresh, organic ingredients. It was my first time at Pitango so the woman behind the counter let me try samples: matcha, white chocolate chip, pistachio, cardamom, raspberry. All were creamy or tart, not too sweet, and very flavorful.
I ended up ordering the smallest size and getting cardamom and matcha. The flavor mix was a bit weird, so I sort of regretted not ordering something a bit simpler, like pistachio and hazelnut.
My one complaint is that they don’t have a smaller size. The smallest/​cheapest option comes with two flavors for $ 6. They should have a smaller size with only one flavor, for people who aren’t sharing/​want a smaller portion.

Mojito gelato here (mint, lime) is The BOMB! I also recommend the blood orange. Many other special flavors — need to return to try them. Sit in or out. Cobblestoned Fells Point area.

I have nothing but good things to say about my first trip here! It certainly won’t be my last. The workers were so kind and willing to let me test out a few flavors before making my decision. While they were all delicious, I ended up choosing the raspberry and vanilla. Together it makes up the perfect sweet, tangy, and creamy combo. I have had a lot of gelato before, and this might be the best I have had. It’s a little pricey but totally worth it :)

My husband and I went here for a date night and shared a large since I wasn’t really hungry. You get to choose three scoops and they can be different flavors. We chose coconut, chocolate hazelnut and then pomegranate-​to mix it up. All were delicious.
The customer service was great. We were greeted when we walked in and asked if we would like to try any flavors multiple times. Good atmosphere and cute set up. We loved the location as well.

The gelato here is sooo good. I don’t care if the weather is freezing outside or the lines out the door it’s worth it. I tried the Café Expresso and Chocolate Hazelnut. Both very rich in flavor and you’ll tell yourself you want more. They always change there menu with new interesting flavors so I’ll be back. Can’t wait to try the other flavors at different locations around the DMV.

Some of the best gelato I’ve ever had. Very smooth and creamy with just enough hint of sweetness.
Plus, they boast that it’s all natural… but not in that buzzword «natural» way either.
While there, I tried many of the flavors. They were all delicious, but I settled on the coconut. Pretty amazing flavor.
The ladies behind the counter were friendly. Although a little tight, it was a nice place to cop a squat while eating.
I definitely say check them out if you haven’t already. Bookmark them for later!

Rating system:
5 stars — Must try. You’re really missing out if you don’t. I’m either a regular here, repeat patron, or would be if it wasn’t cost or distance prohibitive
4 stars — Highly recommended, but may have minor things that keep me from being a regular or from giving a higher rating
3 stars — Good most of the time but not great. Will only eat here if I have a particular craving, or am unable to eat at my 4 or 5 star choices
2 stars — Do not really like it but will only eat here if I have to (eating group overruled my veto)
1 star — Avoid. Save your money, time, and stomach
Went here with a group while visiting Baltimore for a conference. While I only tried two flavors (chocolate nutella and matcha green tea), I’m certain the other flavors are just as good. I really liked the fact that they source their milk and eggs from a small farm that raises organic grass-​fed cows and free-​range hens. You can definitely tell they use good ingredients and the gelato is made fresh daily. It is light and creamy… many Unilocalers described it as «rich,» but by definition, gelato has LESS fat than regular ice cream. Creamy would be a better description because of the techniques used.
I’m somewhat hesitant to give a 5 star rating because I haven’t had enough gelato to really say that this is a «must try» for those that may be gelato connoisseurs. But out of the few places I have been to, this has been by far the best.

While eating Pitango’s «artisanal» gelato or sorbetto (as the shining espresso machine behind the marble counter gleams in the corner of your eye) you can’t help but feel a bit more upscale than you would normally feel had you decided to go to a typical American ice cream shop. Ranging from black tea to white grapefruit, Pitango has several flavors to please some of the more sophisticated palettes.
I tried an affogato with cardamom gelato. As a fan of cardamom in my coffee and tea I was very happy. The espresso they use is good as well — strong with a good amount of acidity.
Would definitely describe it as artisanal, as good gelato should be. That being said, I’m not sure if I’d be willing to go very often because of the price (which is to be expected of any gelato place.)

Oh yes, this is the real deal. A very cute gelato shop at a prime location with spectacular gelato. It seems to be a hit, surprisingly, in the cold months too.
I visited Pitango on 6 pm Sunday evening, and the shop was packed. My group and I were eventually able to get a table.
The gentleman behind the counter was happy to let me sample some flavors and even recommended another flavor to complement the first. He recommended cardamom with black tea. Also I tasted the hazelnut alongside the chocolate hazelnut. I preferred the latter.
With all the flavor samples, I decided to play it safe with my usual flavor choices: dark chocolate and coffee (or at Pitango, «chocolate noir» and «caffe espresso»). Of all the flavors I sampled that day, my favorites were caffe espresso and chocolate hazelnut.
Pro tip: I requested to have my regular size serving in a mug instead, and I paid the regular price for a large serving! Woo!
Now I don’t know if it’s a gelato thing, but I found it to melt quickly and very easily. I try to savor the good things in life, but this was one I had to scarf down before it was too late.
Overall, I thought it was quite pricey for some better-​than-​average gelato.

What perfect way to enjoy a snowy day than over a heaping pile of creamy gelato? This place is by far the best gelato I’ve had (I’m from NYC).
Once you enter, you’re welcomed by the soft melodies of meditating music. It’s the perfect way to mediate on what you’ll get – ha! The server wasted no time asking if I wanted to sample any flavors… I’m like the ice-​cream sampling queen. I tried the pistachio, crema, black tea and hazelnut flavors. All were incredibly delectable. I chose to get the hazelnut and black tea flavors. These two complemented each other so well. The flavors weren’t too sweet but was actually refreshing. The ingredients are simple yet bold… mind blowing!
The is an establishment I will most definitely frequent. I am an iced cream lover and this place won my heart.

Pitangos is arguably the best gelato shop in Baltimore! It reminds me a little bit of Amorino Gelato (NYC, Paris) in that the flavors are very creamy and rich. Definitely not a cheap place to grab a cold sweet treat, so be mindful of that before walking in! A great thing about Pitango’s is that you can get as many flavors as you want in your cup! My go to order is half hazelnut and half pistachio. Both are delicious and not too sweet. I prefer the nutty flavors to their fruity ones, but that’s just personal preference.
There isn’t much seating inside the shop, but there are benches outside on the sidewalk. It’s conveniently located in the middle of Fell’s Point (less than a block from the water taxi). There are plenty of restaurant and bars around, so Pitango’s makes a great stop for dessert after meals or happy hour. Absolutely perfect in the summer evenings.

Definitely one of my favorite places in baltimore!
You can taste test whatever (and however many — i’ve tested most at this point) flavors you want. Their gelatos are delicious. Creamy and rich. Love baccio (basically nutella aka chocolate and hazelnut), hazelnut, chocolate, MATCHA (although it was a little bit grainy), cinnamon (had the perfect dose of cinnamon. not too much so that it was spicy and overwhelming), the list is endless.
Affogato is great! You get a generous scoop of a gelato of your choice and your choice of hot chocolate or espresso. Hot chocolate affogato is delicious! Their hot chocolate is amazing! You really can’t go wrong with your choices like hazelnut or chocolate, but recently boyfriend and I tried cinnamon gelato with hot chocolate and it was SO GOOOD. Give it a try!
I do love their gelato, but I always keep coming back to their sorbet! I’m a huge sucker for sorbet and they have great sorbet! You can definitely tell they use real fruit! (and they do pride themselves in using all fresh ingredients for both gelato and sorbet). I love their balance of sweet and tartness, and I love tart so I love how palate cleansing sorbet is! It’s always a struggle trying to pick 2 of the flavors! I love lemon, tangerine, MOJITO, WHITE GRAPEFRUIT, PASSIONFRUIT — you can tell I really like tart haha. Those are the ones that I’ve tried so far. Their pomegranite is kind of meh to me, but definitely feel free to try flavors!
It is kind of pricey and cups might seem small, but I guess it’s also somewhat common for gelato. I have no problem indulging in this any time we’re in fells point though!

Super rich and creamy!
I had coconut and pistachio. The coconut was much more up front in flavor and the pistachio came through more when you let it sit on your tongue. I liked the pistachio more than the coconut, so I was kind of sad that I had a lot more coconut than pistachio.
The gelato is pretty dense, and I wish I’d tried a sorbet to balance the richness, especially because the flavors sounded so good.
Though the texture was good, I would’ve preferred if the flavors had come through more. Also, the tiny regular cup is a pretty good portion because the gelato is so thick and rich, but I’d hesitate to spend $ 5 on that again.

Pitango Gelato es riquísimo!!! El lugar es pequeño con tres o cuatro mesitas. Empleados siempre muy atentos. Nunca e tenido problemas al pedir probar diferentes sabores de gelatos. Ademas de los gelatos venden chocolate caliente, café y biscottis.
Tienen gelatos de temporada además de una gran variedad de sabores populares. Tengo varios sabores que me facinan.
Pistacho — cremoso, sabor natural, no muy dulce, con un toque de sal para un balance perfecto!
Chocolate hazelnut– cremoso, dulce y con un sabor muy marcado de avellana
Crème Fraiche — El sabor es un poco agrio, pero adictivo, generalmente lo ordeno con el de pistacho!
Lo único que debo decir negativo es que el precio es un poco alto teniendo en cuenta la cantidad que te ofrecen.
Es importante reseñar que todos los productos utilizados para sus gelatos son de granjas locales!
Bien por Pitango!!!
