Industry Night: Free Your Mind With Robb & Violeta of Dolcezza
In this episode of Industry Night, host Nycci Nellis sits down with Robb Duncan and Violeta Edelman, the founders of Dolcezza Gelato, one of Washington DC’s most beloved culinary brands.
Recorded at the Washington Harbor favorite,Tony & Joe’s Seafood Place, the conversation explores how Dolcezza grew from a single gelato shop in Georgetown to a regional favorite known for its farm-driven flavors and commitment to sourcing from Mid-Atlantic producers.
Since launching in 2004, Dolcezza has expanded to seven locations across the DMV and produces its gelato daily at the Union Market Gelato Factory & Coffee Lab. And yes, they talk about coffee and the ritual of that first teacup.
No surprise with Robb & Violetta, this conversation goes deeper than dessert.
Nycci talks with Robb and Violeta about creativity, sustainability, food culture, farming relationships, and their spiritual philosophy that shapes their approach to hospitality.
