Marciano Ice Cream

Beautiful, bright, clean room to have a handmade, carefully crafted small batch ice cream treat! There's crayons and some toys for the little ones. Perfect place for a first date, honestly! Perfect to stop before or after you go thrifting nextdoor - that's what we did.

Recently opened ice cream parlor and family owned. The space has plenty of seating and parking. Their ice cream is top notch. A well balance of cream, sugar and natural fruits. The family has travelled around the world and perfected the recipe for flavors like Pistachio, Lavender, blue berry. Having spent time in East Europe, their ice cream reminded me of the perfectly smooth ice cream you get there. The place is super kid friendly as well. They have coloring papers, crayons and when you complete the coloring, they even hang it up. They also have vegan, GF options !! What else do you need. Highly recommend this place and making it your go-to ice cream parlor.

This place is special! Really great people, exceptional ice cream. Tried the GF dairy free coconut. It is superb. You can definitely tell it is a handmade ice cream. Loved all the flavor options, especially the taste of the coffee kahula chocolate they offered. Wowza! Can’t wait to go back for more!

If you're looking for a healthier ice cream option without compromising on taste, Marciano Ice Cream in Des Plaines is a must-try! What really sets them apart is their commitment to quality ingredients — no artificial dyes and less sugar than your typical ice cream. You can actually taste the real flavors, and it’s refreshing to know you’re not loading up on unnecessary additives. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the flavors are rich without being overly sweet. It’s a great spot for families, especially if you're trying to be more mindful of what your kids are eating. Plus, the staff is friendly and the shop has a clean, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area — your sweet tooth will thank you, and so will your health!

so excited that this place opened in Des Plaines! The ice cream tastes rich and homemade, and importantly actually taste like the flavors-- the fruit ones are really potent and delicious. The $10 flight of four flavors is a great deal. Also very family friendly, they have coloring books, etc for the kids. Hope Des Plaines gets more independently owned shops like this!
