    My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past weekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

    This is by far my favorite ice cream/ gelato place! I always tell my friends and family about it. The place itself is so cute, with seating on the inside and outside. The staff as well is great as well and friendly. Their gelato is delicious with various flavors. The coconut is my favorite! They also have cakes, sorbets, and coffees. Visit before the summer is over!

    First time visit and was absolutely floored by the delicious gelato! It took me right back to the streets of Italy a few years ago with a gelato is everywhere! Were able to sample a few flavors and that made the decision making tough! Sarah, the gelato expert gave us healthy cups, full of that delicious gelato! The owner's Esther and VITO could not have been any more gracious and accommodating. I can tell they love what they do! We will be back and we will tell all to visit a piece of Italy, right here in Franklin Square!

    Came here after dinner just before closing. I had gotten a large with 3 flavors- Hazelnut, Rocher and Rainbow Cookie. All 3 flavors were amazing. My brother got Fig and Honey, Stracciatella and Pistachio. He enjoyed his as well. Staff was nice and didn't rush us even though it was closing time. Will definately revisit!!

    Small Coconut gelato.

    Absolutely love this place that we went to visit all on a whim. Great flavor variety which made it a little hard to choose. Chose the coconut and was amazed at the creaminess and great flavor of coconut.

    Biscotti, hazelnut and pistachio- Babbi is a well known ice cream company in Italy. The cookie was a nice touch.

    Delicious, smooth, cold gelato. Great flavors. Beautiful shop and cases. Price was just under $10 for large three flavors from my picture. They will give you some samples too. I just went with three of their most popular but I bet they would all be good. Open till 10 which is great.

    Outside seating.

    Every time we go we are greeted by the friendly staff. The place is always clean! We are offered tastings prior to making a decision. I always go with the fig and honey, and this time, I paired it with cotton candy. A delicious cookie comes with the gelato. It is a great neighborhood place with delicious creamy gelato.

    The gelato here is always great. Skylar is super helpful and always suggests the best flavors. You can't go wrong with a fig and honey affogato.

    Pistachio and Hazelnut
    Maria F.

    This is the best ice cream I've ever had. Pistachio and Hazelnut are my go-to, but the cotton candy is amazing too. Honestly I'd go with any of their flavors. All the ones I tried were flavorful but didn't have an artificial flavor. Love it!!!! Been there several times and love it every time!!

    Delicious delicious gelato!!! We had tried the fig and honey which had walnuts and little bits of figs, along with the cherry vanilla along with the milk chocolate and biscotti! I had gotten the regular size and was quite pleased that it wasn't a ginormous cup of ice cream! It was perfectly sized at I want to say around 8 ounces give or take and priced at around $4.50. The inside of the shop was very cute and decorated with cute and colorful photos on the walls. They also had little hand sanitizers at each table and 6 ft markers when waiting on line. The staff were all very friendly as well. At the time that we had left around 8:15 there was a small line outside but that's no surprise after trying the gelato! Overall I would definitely return as it was a very pleasant experience.

This location is one of many locations that span across Long Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey. They offer ices, ice creams, and drinks which come in all flavors. My favorite ice cream to order when I visit is pistachio. It's delicious and has many pistachios throughout the ice cream. Staff were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed a few laughs. If you happen to drive by or walk by a Ralph's Famous Ices, stop in and treat yourself to a sweet treat.

And my…read moresister got so mad at the owner who was apparently making horrible faces at me when I was placing my order. I have this goofy way of making Dad jokes and it's not like offensive at all. And the girl taking my order didn't seem too annoyed. But when I looked up to pay my sister's face was so red and she was like we are never coming back to this place like what's with that guy. She just got a treat for the kids and walked away. I was disappointed. I never saw this older gentleman behind the cashiers and there wasn't a line so I have no idea I guess the guy really doesn't like Dad jokes/ people who make jokes. My sister was very adamant that it wasn't the jokes. Hey you know what I still left with my key lime pie blizzzard with the ice and the soft serve joint together in a cup. I no longer live in the area so idk when I will return but my Mom lives close by so I guess decisions will have to be made in the future regarding where I get my icey fix at. t This spot has a parking lot and very cheery young women taking orders. The line gets long so don't wait all day to go. And don't make any dad jokes unless you want to be stared at.

Their customer service is one of the main reasons I continue to visit. Unfortunately, I've noticed a significant decline in the quality of the ice cream recently. The texture has been noticeably slushy and icy rather than smooth and creamy, which is not the standard I've come to expect from Carvel. Based on my experience, it appears there may be an issue with the freezer or temperature control equipment affecting the product quality. I'm sharing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy this location and would like to see it return to the high standards that made it a favorite in the community. The team deserves recognition for their excellent service, but the ice cream quality needs immediate attention. I hope management investigates the issue and makes the necessary improvements. Great staff. Great service. The product quality, however, is currently falling short of the Carvel experience customers expect.
