The Pitango buzz has spread quickly, with the local company opening five outposts in the D.C. area in just a few short years. The flavors here are intensely fresh, thanks to top-notch ingredients — try the mojito or rhubab if you like sweet-and-tangy treats, or the spicy chocolate or bourbon vanilla if you're craving something richer.
