An Old Lyme classic must try. Great memories made every summer getting an Italian Ice or gelato. Kind of place you can still take the whole family for a nice treat for $10-15. Always friendly service.

Highest quality Italian ice. Been going or buying from the truck since 1959. Love the lemon and the grape squeeze cup.

Owner said his dad opened the place right after WWII and they have been there since. Amazing Italian Ice and very affordable. They take cash or cards.

Every time I would visit my grandparents over the summer, for as long as I can remember, this was the place I wanted to go. Never tried any flavor besides watermelon but I would get a container of it. That would last me maybe 1-2 days because I ate it like it was going out of style. I’m 40 years old now, my grandparents are sadly gone and i moved out of state many years ago but I’ve never forgotten how great this place is and how much I looked forward to coming here. Such a happy memory. If I ever make it back to Connecticut during the summer that’ll be my first stop. Thanks for the great watermelon ice and the happy memories ❤️

Nice tiny little spot for Italian Ice. Nice flavors. It's really nice, thicker icy, and delish. Doesn't melt fast, which I like. Prices are great, too. Good service.
