Mango gelati with vanilla custard is my go-to but I decided to mix it up and got key lime with orange cream. SO GOOD. And freak your friends out with the weird colors.

This store is tiny…don’t even think about bringing a stroller in here. But the awesome counter girls will help you create the best Misto (Italian Ice & Custard) treat!

One of my favorites places to get Italian Ice. The Green Apple is the best!

Great ice and custards! My fave is the blendini. Be careful when ordering the custard on a cup because a lady there would either give you really little or give you a small cup when ordering a medium.

On a HOT day you can't beat this. It is a little pricey for flavored ice but AMAZING flavors and the small is generous!

The staff is always very friendly... The two flavors that i love the most are pineapple and island blend. Both are rare to come across but soooo delicious and refreshing!

Always great! A little more expensive than New Jersey.

Perfect on a hot summer day. Mango and vanilla custard was yummy!

The blendini is the way to go, chocolate and mango rocks

My personal fave is the cotton candy flavor. Great reminder of a childhood long gone.

Try: Ices ($2.75-$4.25), frozen custard ($3.50-$5) or a blendini (italian ice, custard and a topping whipped together ($5.25).

Absolutely in love with the mango gelati!
Marisa ThalbergMay 7, 2010
Nice and generous staff. Fave combo is the root beer ice + the vanilla custard (fat free) - like an ice cream soda!
Joo RoAugust 27, 2012
Try mango gelati with fat-free vanilla custard.
Karin RendelmanMarch 20, 2011
Gelati. Of course. Mango ice and vanilla custard is a good backup plan if they don't have any Florida orange ice!
