We had a fun girls night out at Calzolaio Pasta Company, and our server truly made the experience…read more She was attentive, funny, and immediately matched our energy--honestly one of those servers who elevates the whole night. We loved her. The food, though, was just... fine. I'm a big pasta and sauce person, and while everything was perfectly decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype we'd heard going in. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. My espresso martini was good, but nothing special. That said, the building itself is charming and a little eccentric in a good way. I can definitely see how the experience would be elevated in warmer weather--sitting out on the patio overlooking the river would be a big plus. Overall, a good night thanks to great service and atmosphere, but the food didn't quite wow us.

The drinks are good, food has always been hot and fresh. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. They interact with the customers and each other far beyond "what can I get you" and co-workers. They always seem to genuinely be happy that they're there. I don't think I'll ever not recommend this place. We go here often! PS- in addition to all of that, they're wonderful to the community. They donate time, food, gift certificates, etc. and many of our local youth sports teams have their team parties here.

The Good: *More than just ice creams, as they also have lobstah rolls, fries, and glizzies! Didn't try so can't comment but the pics look good. *Great selection of ice cream flavors, as well as yummy soft serve. *I don't recall the prices, but I remember it being very inexpensive. However, please note we're from the SF Bay Area, so everything seems cheap to us fml *Fantastic outdoor picnic areas to eat and look at the beautiful lake. The Meh: *Service was a bit aloof, but we were there at the end of the shift, so probably just the end of the day grumps. Regardless, it was fine. *No waffle cones, just standard cake cones. :( *Cash only The Ugly: *Like many businesses here in Rangeley they're only open seasonally from May - Octoberish (check their FB page for updates) Conclusion: A damn fine place to get your ice creams and a view. Highly recommended.

We have never experienced flavorless ice cream before! We're not sure if it was something to do with the ice cream machine.

The location that was overlooking the lake was very pretty!
