Every scoop tells a story your taste buds won't forget.

Born from a passion for real gelato

La Marmotta Gelateria Factory started with a simple belief: gelato deserves to be taken seriously. In a city full of frozen treats masquerading as gelato, we chose to do things the way they've been done in Italy for centuries — slow, deliberate, and with absolute respect for the ingredients.

Every batch is made fresh each morning in our kitchen on Edgewood. We source dairy from local farms, fruit from seasonal harvests, and chocolate from single-origin bean-to-bar makers. The result? Gelato that's denser, creamier, and more intensely flavored than anything you'll find anywhere else in the District.
