By Prince Of Petworth


600 H Street, NE previously home to Wydown

We broke the news last month about Dolcezza taking over the former Wydown space on H Street. Lots more info now available from a press release:

“Dolcezza, the iconic gelato and coffee shop based in Washington DC, is kicking off its 2025 expansion plans with a highly anticipated new location on H Street NE. Slated to open in mid- March, this marks the sixth outpost for the award-winning local shop, known for its small batch gelato and craft coffee program. (more…)

Thanks to a reader for sending:

“So, I noticed that a new Gelato store is going into the Metropole’s empty retail space next to Lulu Lemon.

There’s now a sign up in the window though. Pintango Gelato coming soon!”

The Washington Business Journal wrote back in June:

“”It’s basically going back to the original gelato where it’s a very simple and wholesome dessert, without coloring,” [Noah] Dan said. Prices will range from $4.77 for a regular portion to about $6 for a large serving, big enough for two people, he said. All the gelato will be made in-house, using organic and locally farmed ingredients.”

Any gelato fans out there? How does it differ from regular ice cream?
