Best ice cream In Fernandina Beach. Love the coffee with chocolate chips and mint chocolate chip! Is now our go to ice cream parlor!

DeNucci's Ice Cream Shop in Amelia Island is a charming little spot that feels like a cozy home. The ice cream is incredibly delicious, with generous portions perfect for families. My in-laws tried the enormous banana split to share it for just $8... it was so big they couldn't finish it! This shop is a favorite for our family trips; we always make a point to visit whenever we're within 20 minutes of the island. With a friendly atmosphere and a variety of flavors, DeNucci's is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a sweet treat. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

Great ice cream spot on Amelia island. Lots to choose from- soft serve, sundaes, ice cream and more. Sundaes are HUGE. Some seasonal flavors. Work sees are kind and the store is small but clean. Wish you could get two flavors without getting the largest ice cream of your life, but still great! read more

This place had a line out the door but service was quick! They give such huge ice cream portions, we all (even my husband) were wishing we would have gotten the kids cup - not complaining, we appreciate ice cream shops not being stingy with their scoops. read more

If summer had a flavor, it would taste exactly like the swirl cone at Denucci's. I stopped in on a warm Amelia Island afternoon, and from the moment I walked up to the little pastel building, I felt like I'd stepped straight into a scene from a nostalgic beach-town postcard. The line moved quickly, the staff was friendly and patient (even with my "I can't decide" face), and everything about the place radiated local charm. The swirl cone? Absolute perfection. Creamy, velvety soft-serve with just the right balance of vanilla and chocolate--cold enough to be refreshing, smooth enough to make you close your eyes on the first bite. And it's generously swirled, so you don't finish it in two bites like some places. Prices are fair, portions are happy-making, and the vibe is pure vacation joy. Whether you're coming from the beach or just passing through, Denucci's is a must-stop for a sweet treat and a taste of classic Amelia Island magic. read more

Just arrived in Jacksonville and staying at the Home2 next door. Saw they had cappuccino soft serve so decided to get a small taste of that. Ice cream was real good I'm just not sure how the girl behind the counter got lost in communication. I was the only person there, ended up asking for a small cone, she asked sugar or Waffel, ended up asking for a sugar cone. She disappeared behind the counter for 2sec and literally put it in a small cup inside another bigger cup. I just rolled with it wasn't a big mistake I'm just surprised she still messed it up even after confirming what I had wanted. read more

DeNucci's - Cup in a Cup? - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

Cute little place with nice young ladies that were very helpful. They have a lot of great sounding flavors of hard ice cream, vanilla or chocolate soft serve, and pineapple or raspberry dole whip (which can be swirled). I tasted chocolate raspberry truffle and it was really amazing, but went with peach Melba. This ice cream is smooth and creamy as well as delicious. There are plenty of large chunks of peaches throughout and lovely swirls of raspberry. I didn't want too much, so I was going to get kids size, but figured a single couldn't be too bad...it's huge! My husband got what he always got from Carvel up north - soft serve chocolate with wet walnuts and was very happy with it. He said even the soft serve is very smooth and creamy. Fantastic! read more

Our go to when the sweet tooth hits. Denucci's has a great rotating selection of hard serve ice cream. Everything we've tried is delicious. Good portions, nice staff. Rocky Road and chocolate brownie both outstanding. Seating, parking, and drive through available. Close to beach but easy to access. read more

Highly recommended by locals and they were right. Ice cream was delicious . They have different variety of flavors and options of soft and hard ice cream. Serving was big for price. Service was fast even though there is a line of people trying to get some ice cream. read more

Biggest take away-- the single scoop is huge. At least a pint of ice cream... it was insane. The stellar coffee ice cream was so good! Bold coffee flavor and soft dark chocolate fudge pieces. Wife and 3 daughters all got milk shakes and were fans. Son got a slushie. With tax was about $35 for 6 people. They were fairly busy, but still efficient and friendly. read more

Good gosh this stuff here, all of it is good. My go to is mint chocolate chip in a cup and a regular cup here is very generous. Skip the ice cream "equivalent" down the street and come here. You absolutely will not be disappointed and you will be supporting local businesses. read more

If you looooove ice cream, come here! Walked in and someone said they would be with us shortly. A guy came over and greeted us and asked what we would like. I asked to taste a flavor and he also offered his opinion of his favorite ice cream. My husband went with his recommendation of garbage can flavor and loved it. He was very friendly and service was prompt. The portion sizes are giant! They have scoop ice cream and custard. I tasted the dulce de leches cheesecake and opted to get a scoop of it and a scoop of cookies and cream. I asked for the scoops on a regular cone. The guy who was assisting me said the scoops are softball size and I just replied ok. I for some reason in my head was thinking golf all even though I heard softball. My ice cream was wayyyyy too big to eat it all. My husband got one scoop and actually asked the guy to stop scooping as he only asked for one scoop and he kept piling the ice cream on. See the photo for the scooo sizes! It tasted delicious but it was just too much for me to eat. Lesson learned.....one scoop is more than enough! There are a few tables inside if you want to stay and eat the ice cream there and there is additional outdoor seating. read more

Went for the first time tonight & so happy we did for date night! Saw dole whip on the sign so I had to get it! Got a mixture of pineapple & strawberry which was recommended by the sweet girl at the window. My husband got the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and he loved it a lot. Next time we go to the beach, we will bring our kids to enjoy it as well! read more

We liked it so much we had to circle back through the drive through. Now that I know about this little spot, no trip to Fernandina will be complete without a stop here. I had the purple daze and my mom had the peach Melba. We let my baby try the peach Melba for her first taste of ice cream. She of course LOVED it! Honestly both are probably in my top 5 favorite ice cream flavors I've ever had. We also tried a hot dog and pretzel with cheese. Both were very good! I was surprised how soft the pretzel was. It was too good to get a picture. read more

Went here on a Saturday hot afternoon, just driving around Fernandina and I was craving for some ice cream and went to yelp to see where can we get a local/ family owned ice cream place and Denucci's popped! Sadly, I am not able to tell you where it is located or the close by since we are not from this area but this place is not hard to find! the building is very colorful and they also have plenty of parking spot! you also have a choice to eat inside or the drive thru. we decided to go inside so we can eat our ice cream. The inside is small and there's 3 tables one has a larger capacity and the other two is smaller. I had the cookies and cream ice cream and it was great! I forgot what my husband got but he said his was good too. they also offer hotdogs and nachos here, I was going to try to get the hotdog but I changed my mind LOL but at least I have a reason to go back here. read more

In search of great soft serve! Got chocolate in a cake cone. It was airy not creamy. the chocolate was muted not rich/deep. Fir being ice cream, it wasn't very frizen/cold. Not my favorite. My search for good soft serve continues. Almost $6. Service was friendly and fast. Nice outdoor seating. read more

Best ice cream shop on Amelia Island! Wonderful tasting ice cream! My husband and I got a single scoop and it was HUGE! He got the coffee ice cream and I got pistachio. Service was great and the staff were so friendly! Not a lot of inside seating but there is also seating outside as well as a drive thru. I would definitely go back to this fun little ice cream shop! read more

DeNucci's - Rainbow sorbet and mango sorbet in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

How do i even start this review. The ice cream was good, strong smell of sewage (which i avoided by going through the drive thru the first time) but the service completely ruined the experience. The place is run by a bunch of teenagers and college kids, which is completely understandable.But one particular worker ruined my experience on both nights i visited Denuccis. (She is shown in photo below) First night I visited Denuccis, my family and I pulled up to the window and the worker immediately looked at us with annoyance when we said we were reading the flavors and making up our mind. When my brother went to order, she was being very condescending and sassy saying things like "Do you KNOW how big our ice cream scoops are?" when he said he wanted a double scoop. Which i'm assuming was targeted. The whole interaction she acted like this, was yelling at other workers while we were waiting on food. Night 2- We came back to Denuccis for more ice cream because it was good, and he of the only places open. Didn't think much of the incident the previous night, but somehow this night ended up being worse. The moment we arrived and were ordering, the young man looked distraught, which we thought was weird. Shortly after, we saw the worker from night 1, (shown in photo below) She looked angry and stated yelling at the top of her lungs at the coworkers saying "NEXT TIME IF A FLAVOR RUNS OUT ANNOUNCE IT" while rolling her eyes picking up the empty ice cream bucket dropping in on the floor, and kicking it at her co worker washing the dishes. Who clearly seemed bothered by it. Anything other coworkers would come up to ask her things she would dismiss them and act like they were a burden. And we could clearly tell the workers were crying for help, especially the young man who was taking our order. Overall, the customer service experience at Denuccis was horrendous because of the one young lady. It felt wrong not writing a review and warning others about this individual. Especially young people applying for a job here. I hope the place takes accountability and fires the young lady. Enough is enough. read more

I had the blue sorbet ice cream, kids size. It melt in your mouth good. They let me try different ice creams but I always seem to go to the sorbets, they seem lighter. Don't be like me and take a large spoonful...brain freeze is real. The ice cream parlor has a drive through as well as a very small indoor seating and a bit more outdoor seating. It's a good place to checkout if you're in Fernandina read more

4/20/23. When the good weather is here...ice cream in the evening is what's in order! Good quality and good size, prices seem to be typical-not cheap but not outrageous either! read more

Good service. Great assortment of ice cream. We love their hot dogs. Our dog gets so excited when we pull up anticipating her pup cup.

Reasonably priced, friendly staff, great ice cream. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great on a warm night, would return.

Love this place, the ice cream is so stinkin good, def our favorite in the area and love the drive thru convenience. The only thing I will say is I absolutely HATE that they use fabuloso to either clean or as a fragrance if that's a thing lol, so toxic and stinky. The cups smell like it and I've noticed the sprinkles TASTE like it which is totally creepy. Needless to say we just don't get sprinkles here anymore read more

Although the girl at the drive thru window was very friendly and efficient, my chocolate shake was like chocolate milk, with way more milk than chocolate flavoring. I took one sip, stirred it with my straw, thinking that the ice cream may have settled, took a second sip and then tossed it. We have been hearing such great things about DeNucci's, for years, and we really thought that we have been missing out on something special. Apparently we haven't been missing anything. What a complete disappointment! read more

We buy soft serve Ice Cream, Floats, Shakes at least 1-2x a week during the Summer and 1-2x month in the Winter.

Fast clean and the staff were super friendly. I will be back super cute! They really know how to move the crowd read more

DeNucci's - Black cherry with fudge brownie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fernandina Beach, Florida

It is my first time here since I was in the mood for dessert after dinner. It is a cute local ice cream place that has indoor seating and outdoor order/pick up. I ordered a small Fat Turtle ice cream which is vanilla and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter sauce and chocolate fudge topped with an abundance of whip cream and turtle chocolate in a waffle bowl. It is an extremely decadent dessert but it is worth the calories! Pros: the peanut butter sauce is the star of the show. Cons: extremely messy to eat...the chocolate turtle kept falling off my bowl and creating a mess. Too much whip cream and not enough ice cream. Is pricey: ordered this and a small chocolate malt for $12. Cute local ice cream place. Will be back and try the pineapple dole next time. read more

I often go there to get their large hotdog. It is $4.99 and comes with your choice of ketchup, mustard, spicy mustard, onions, pickles and a couple other things. There are also some premium toppings like sauerkraut that you can add for another $.50 each. I think the large hotdog is a great value at $5.34 with tax and hits the spot! If you are still hungry, they have ice cream in shakes, banana splits and sundaes to top it all off! read more

Five star for the soft serve! Tastes thick like custard! Soooo good! We loved our stop here. Rode our bikes from the hotel to Fort Clinch State park and then to this ice cream shop! read more
