Trieste Coffee Culture 🇮🇹👌☕️

Illy was founded in Trieste in 1935 by Hungarian-born, Francesco Illy, who invented the first automatic coffee machine. The predecessor of contemporary espresso machines, his invention substituted pressurized water for steam.

In Trieste, each morning we celebrate Illy’s remarkable invention with a cappuccino or espresso. Thanks to espresso coffee culture is very much alive throughout the world 🌎

Cones from 🍦
Trieste’s beachfront atmosphere means gelato is always abundant. Yet, Triestini are loyal and have discerning taste— only the best gelaterie stay in business year after year. Zampolli has been a mainstay in Trieste since 1905 and a favorite to Pitango’s owner and family for decades. We are always so inspired by creative flavors like Peach Yogurt, Fig Sorbet and Sacher Cake gelato.

Long live SUMMER TIME 🌊
Cheers to sunset gelato walks by the water 😇

Creamy + Dreamy 👏 rather than displaying our gelato in an open-air freezer, Pitango uses a custom-made “bancone freezer” in which each freshly-batched gelato flavor has its own well where glycol circulates around each canister. This prevents freezer burn and flavor contamination while keeping our gelato at peak tempurature and texture 😍.

WHITE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT COOKIES 🍪

Our newest cookie offering just might become your next obsession 😝

They’re charmingly chewy and a tasty way to showcase our Italian-imported hazelnuts and top quality white chocolate.

NEW FLAVOR SPOTLIGHT 👉 Walnut Gelato
At Pitango we love our pure & simple, nutty flavors. For our Walnut gelato (noce in Italian), we use walnuts imported from Italy’s Veneto region which add a delicate, earthy note to this wholesome flavor.
We sprinkle in walnut pieces at the finish for an added nutty crunch 💚💥🤗

Introducing - GINGER TURMERIC SORBET 🫚
For this refreshing sorbet we juice fresh turmeric and ginger root for an unexpected, vibrant flavor that’s rich in antioxidants 💥

Although this flavor bomb pairs nicely with Crema or Fior di Latte— we recommend enjoying this bold sorbet on its own; allowing you to meditate on this complex flavor while letting the ginger & turmeric sing 🎶

Kicking off the week with a LATTE on the go 💚
Pro-tip: Ask about our seasonal syrups! We have a rotating array of house-made syrups— including fresh mint and lavender that will elevate your latte for the SPRING!

Sun, Flowers & Gelato 😎
Nothing beats the first gelato of the season! Happy Spring, gelato fans 💐🌷🌻

Meet Ben, our Chief Gelato & Sorbet Maker!🍦👨‍🍳🍦

Ben and his small but mighty team work tirelessly to craft every gelato and sorbet so they can be batched fresh at each Pitango location for your gelato enjoyment!

For our latest batch of mango sorbet, Ben hand 🖐️ carved thousands of beautifully ripe mangos 🥭

Although Ben’s work is mostly behind the scenes, his passion, dedication and diligence is evident is each and every scoop! 🍦💚🍦

Creamy & Dreamy ☁️☁️☁️

At Pitango we craft each and every batch of gelato and sorbet on site at each Pitango location.
While most scoop shops have to add preservatives, fats and gums to ship their ice cream from the factory to their stores, Pitango goes the extra mile to skip these additives and make fresh and (truly) artisanal gelato and sorbet.

Next time you stop by Pitango, ask to speak to the gelato maker- they’ll tell you all about our process and maybe even give you a fresh taste 😜
