Dolcezza in Georgetown

This is a seriously amazing place.  Seasonal ingredients, local fruits, and supporting local farms.  The gelatos here are to die for!  Dolcezza ia an Argentinian sorbet store.

Exciting Sorbets!

I don’t know if you ever feel like a little walk after dinner.  You want dessert, but a stretch, and a walk would make you feel so much better.  This is the place to go in Georgetown — have your dinner somewhere else, and come here for your dessert.elat

I have always been a bit of a traditionalist with my gelato.  In Italy, I will usually go for a simple lemon and usually avoid the more fancy mixtures.  Not here!  They have all sorts of really exciting sounding flavors — and they don’t disappoint.

I usually get the small size, which gives you the opportunity to try two of their flavors.  Last time I had Sicilian Blood Orange and Grapefruit Campari.  Another exciting one is Avocado Honey Orange.

The flavors of the gelatos are intense, delicious, and they somehow manage to convey the texture of the fruit as well.  This alone is a good reason to try the Avocado Honey Orange — amazing to have the texture of an avocado in a sorbet.

For a gelato shop, it is expensive — I can’t remember exactly how much — but it’s a lot cheaper than eating your dessert in the restaurant, and probably healthier as well.

Dolcezza has another branch in Bethesda, which I have never been to, but I am sure it is just as good as the excellent branch in Georgetown.
