If you live in Newark, you already know about how good the ice cream is here. I was born and raised in Newark and didn't even know about this place but man did I miss this spot for the longest time. I picked up the chocolate chip cookie dough and that ice cream was insane. It was silky smooth, rich, and quite light at the same time. I've only had one other ice cream place that comes close to this and that wasn't even in Jersey. To think there is ice cream that taste this good is wild. It's better than what you've had so I don't even know what you're waiting on because this place is a MUST. There's no question about it. I hope to visit their new location and try it out as well.

Family owned since 1939. Homemade Ice Cream, Gelato and Italian Desserts. I went with Sweet Corn and Dulce de leche 2 fantastic flavors. Also took home some pints of Strawberry and Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato both are delicious. Always a great experience. Parking sometimes can be difficult though.

I drove all the way from nyc to try this icecream. Its cute inside. I cant believe its open 86 years. Historical and iconic. The watermelon ice was the best I've ever had. Memorable. The peach icecream had real peaches in it. Fantastic. I tried so many flavors. All amazing. I had the tartufo. It blew my mind. The chocolate was elegance in the mouth. Id drive over the bridge and back into the congestion zone for that any day. Greatest staff. I need to try a cake next time.
