Nancy's is a nice place to get a tasty frozen treat. They have a wide range of flavors, that change periodically. The Fancy Nancy is what they're known for, which is your choice of Italian ice layered with your choice of soft serve ice cream. The serving sizes are helpful as well so that you can select what port is appropriate for you. The atmosphere is family friendly and they have a patio for outdoor seating. read more

Had the watermelon fancy Nancy, loved it, when there with my wife after a nice swim made me feel like a million bucks.

Love this placeeee. It's so simple, but good. I love getting their fancy's - with soft serve on top (and in between! Genius. So you can still have a good balance) of their italian ice. I love their vanilla soft serve and all of their italian ices are good. We like their drive-thru option too. read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

This was my second visit to Nancy's, and I think this one was a little more successful. On the initial visit I found the ice to be a little off tasting, but this time, it was better. We ordered a number of the Fancy Nancy's, with the combination of Italian ice and soft serve ice cream, along with a couple of Italian ices alone. We really liked the fact that they had such a variety of flavors. We tried mango, strawberry lemonade, cherry coke, mango, and birthday cake. The cherry coke was definitely true to flavor, as were the fruit options. The red velvet did not actually remind me of red velvet, but it went well with the chocolate ice cream. I had a similar issue with the piña colada previously. The price here is excellent making the little owl, the smallest size, a great option and filling enough for adults. read more

Affordable price, good soft serve, variety of flavors. Drive thru takes forever at night. One of the guys has no manners. Also, if I'm getting 4 cups... put it in a cup holder or at least ask if I want it in one before handing me all of them with one hand. First of all, two of them nearly dropped. Second of all, what makes you think I can properly hold or store 4 cups in my car? read more

Always great after dinner treat in spring and summer. Always great service and quality. Ambiance is fair.

Adorable little Italian ice shop with very generous portion sizes and great prices. Oh and super delicious! Might get a little crowded on hot days, but the line moves fast. read more

Delicious! I got the fancy Nancy (which is like soft serve on the bottom and swirled on the top of Italian ice) and it was delicious! The lemonade flavored Italian ice was really good, my wife got the root beer and didn't think it was as good. I highly recommend this place- they have ample seating inside and out, the service was good, and it cost us like 5 dollars for 2 Italian ices (mine had soft serve, too.) read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - Fancy Nancy lemonade - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Been eating Nancy's for at least 10 years now, if not more. When I was in elementary and/or middle school (can't remember, it was so long ago), I remember buying strawberry Italian ice when the Nancy's cart came to our school once a week. I've completed college and am now in grad school, and still visit Nancy's every time I am home. The quality of the Italian ice hasn't changed over the years. I eat more of their ice cream now and rarely get Italian ice, but it is also delicious. A Montgomery staple for sure. read more

Yummy! Affordable! Great locally owned business giving area teens great first jobs! You will have a hard time deciding whether you love the ices/ice cream or the young staff people more. If you fell in love with Italian ices in Italy, you will love this place. If you loved Hawaiian ices on your trip to the islands.. you will be thrilled with these ices. I get the small Fancy Nancy Dancy. It is an ice (like a very high class snow cone) with soft serve in the middle and on top. I get mango...but they usually have about 12 flavors available. I get the small and it comes in a big 16 oz cup...about $3. It is too much for me, but it is the smallest size. They have drive through! They are doing a great job of following all the covid 19 safety recommendations! Are you going covid quarantine stir crazy. This is a great safe afforadable family road trip. Go pick up grandma at the senior living center and take her thru the drive through, for a safe, sweet fun elder date! read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - Fancy Nancy Mango...a mango ice with vanilla soft serve in the middle and on top 16 oz cup $3 - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Italian Ice is delicious! Service is great! I've always gone to the drive through, and I've never been disappointed. Easy access and quick service. read more

Personally I've had great experiences. The last two times we have tried to have an event at our school, and include Nancy's, we have not gotten a timely response. Both times were after the event. We are usually good about contacting a month or so in advance. Most times when I've called I've gotten no answer so we usually communicate via email. read more

Good service! Great treats, i love the cotton candy fancy Nancy with sprinkles! I would definitely recommend for a hot day treat

We've loved this place since it's opened. We stop by at least once every time we are in town and are never disappointed. The quart is the best deal. Typically we get it to go and share with family. I am also a fan of the fancy Nancy. Great prices and great ice! read more

A dessert place in Montgomery that closes at 10pm on a weekday?! Who knew such a rarity existed! Since Yelp said it did a friend and I hopped into our car to see if it was real. Real it is, and although they served no gelato today (didn't ask if that was normal or they were out) I was still grateful they were actually open so I tried the mango Fancy Nancy instead. For you Hawaiians out there get a medium as it will then be the size of an ice cream slush. That's exactly what a "Fancy Nancy" is except the Italian ice is a little more solid so it will need to melt somewhat to get the slush effect. I had gotten a small as it looked more than large enough for dessert, and for a whopping $3 cash (tax included) I was handed the item in the attached picture. My guess is they don't offer "large" as there's no use. They put so much Italian ice and soft serve outside the cup that it rivals the amount inside. The small I received was more than enough for 2 to share so we did, and tipped them what would have been the second dessert as the gal behind the counter was so friendly. The mango was refreshing, the soft serve yummy, and if you don't even want to get out of the car they have drive-through. It was definitely worth our expedition and as they're open till 11 on weekends *gasp* we will be back! read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - A mango Nancy. There is soft serve and Italian ice all the way down to the bottom of the cup. - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

LOVE LOVE! My favorite place to get a cold treat - especially when it's hot outside. I love the Strawberry Lemon flavor and it never disappoints. One of my favorite treats to myself is to get italian ice from here :)! read more

Updated review. I've been back a few times lately. They have a super-friendly lady there now manning the store who appears to be one of the owners/managers. The staff are all at work, friendly and moving some Italian ice. The dessert itself is great. Delicious treat. I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely amazing! Great employees and quick service. Italian ice is pretty good! Will be back.

Great flavor, great portions, great prices, great staff! When I arrived I had never been I was greeted and asked what I would like to order I asked the server many questions they were all answered very patiently and was even offered 2 good size samples in the end I decided of the strawberry lemonade extrA small and I could barely finish that! Definitely will go again. read more

Great service and amazing Italian ice! We have been going here for years and have never been disappointed except wishing we got a bigger size ! read more

Love love love love this place! Where do I begin? When you first walk into this little ice shop, you are greeted with the nicest ladies behind the counter. They will offer you samples of any flavor you'd like. The ice is so fine and fluffy (yes! fluffy ice!) you can't stop shoveling it into your mouth. Some of the flavors, like strawberry, have little bits of fruit in it. That's when you know this is good stuff. The soft serve is so rich and creamy unlike the soft serve from the fast food joints. My favorite is the fancy nancy, which is layers of ice and soft serve. Try it, it's heaven! read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - a fancy nancy - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Love the drive thru! This is a great feature for stopping by "quickly" when I am in the car with kids and don't want to go through the circus of getting everybody out, but I do want a treat. It's also really nice that they have extended evening hours even during the week. I like the "fancy nancy" idea of combining their italian ice with vanilla soft serve. It's a nice combination of textures and flavors. The italian ice is decent. Not the best I've ever had, but it has flavor all the way through and a soft texture without any icy chunks. Some of the flavors could be more intense -- the peach lemonade, for example, was fairly weak -- but the kids love it and it's a good place for a treat in Montgomery! read more

Great Italian ice. Good flavors you have to try the fancy Nancy at least once. Everyone there is really friendly.

Sooo good!! I got cotton candy fancy nancy and it taste amazing. The ice cream is so yummy and the flavor was just great in all!

Any time we're driving through Montgomery, we insist on stopping at Nancy's. The Fancy Nancy is delicious. The prices are very good for the portion sizes. The staff is always friendly and helpful. One of our favorite places! read more

I had to ask my friend to repeat herself. Surely she didn't just say... A new gelato shop in Montgomery? Gelato? Here?! A richer, higher-quality variant of ice cream, gelato is considered the quintessential Italian treat-- and as you'd expect from a dessert from the home of the Renaissance, gelato is usually approached with a high degree of creativity. Whereas a local ice cream shop will give you a scoop of butter pecan in a cone, an Italian gelato vendor would sell you a bowl of raspberry gelato carefully sculpted into the shape of a rose and accompanied by a bit of fruit. To share a cup of quality gelato with a loved one is a finer experience than ice cream alone can provide. With that in mind, my loved one and I drove down to Nancy's Italian Ice. The location is fantastic: It's directly across the street from Rave Motion Pictures, in the Winn-Dixie shopping center. Inside, you'll meet the Autrey Family, a fine group of folks that have provided us with warm and friendly service each time we've stopped by; and from there you can sample their menu of desserts, which include Italian ice in several different flavors, a handful of cupcakes and cookies, and a single flavor of gelato. Yes, only one flavor. However, this flavor changes every day, and we've been having a great time stopping by Nancy's each day to see what's new. Regular-size cups are $3.50 each, with a large cup available for $5.00, perfect for couples to split; and Nancy herself is usually behind the counter, encouraging her customers to try a free sample of that day's flavor. As for the gelato itself: In terms of texture and richness, this is definitely a cut above any ice cream shop in town-- but not above the better varieties of gelato I've had in my life. Simply put, it's a little too sweet. When one samples a cup of cappucino gelato, one should taste cappucino first, not sugar. Nevertheless, it's quite good-- in some cases, excellent, as with the pistachio flavor from earlier in the week-- and even if gelato were not available here, Nancy's would still be my dessert shop of choice in Montgomery thanks to the wonderful service we've received when visiting. read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - This lady seriously must love owls - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

The more I come here the more I love it! The drive thru is extremely convenient. The employees have always been super nice. I normally get the strawberry lemon but this time I got the Bahama mama and it's good. I do wish they had a nutritional menu that showed the sugar of each size and flavor read more

I was very surprised with this place, the Italian ice was delicious!! I loved how they have a drive thru cause it was very convenient read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - Mango - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Service: 10/10. Italian ice: 10/10. Great place for a quick dessert. They let you try any flavor before committing to it, and I am glad I did!! Did not like the banana pudding Italian ice, but the Tiger Blood flavor was AWESOME! If this is your first time, try getting a sweet and fruity Italian ice flavor and pair it with a soft serve for a "Fancy Nancy" that tastes like a float. The staff is really nice and seems like they have been working there a while with the level of efficiency that they use to quickly serve both the drive thru and walk in customers. read more

Nancy's Italian Ice - Mango and vanilla Fancy Nancy small. - Desserts Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Nancy's is the best spot for Italian ice. The staff is friendly and the prices are great. I highly recommend the cotton candy fancy nancy!

Upon reading about the new and only gelato shop here in Montgomery, my fiance and I went to try this place out. The hours are great, open till 11 and closed on Sundays. There's some cute wall arts of owls along with other owl figurines, tables and chairs, free wi fi and a TV. There's only one flavor of gelato per day so the choices are easy. They also offer an array of goodies such as muffins, cookies, and Italian Ice with whipped cream. I've only ever tried their gelato such as Caramel and Pistachio. I like the Pistachio better. =) I believe the draw of this place is if you want something different from the traditional ice cream, this is the place. A nice sit down shop to spend some quality time with the kids while teaching them what a gelato is. read more

This place was just what I was looking for after a dinner of pizza. We came to Montgomery on our way south and luckily found a great place to eat and a great place for dessert. I was a little worried since we finished dinner around 9pm nothing would be open. Even on a Saturday night. I was wrong thank goodness! We had to do a little driving to get here but it was well worth it. I didn't know exactly what I was in for having never had Italian ice before. I got mine the fancy Nancy way. Super good. We were informed they usually have more flavors and they didn't have any chocolate. That is usually my go to. So I had to step out of my usual chocolate box. This was totally worth it. The price was right. Well played Nancy! read more

Good Italian ice; I usually go for the inverted fancy nancy (soft serve-Italian ice-soft serve, instead of the other way around). Autrey family is great, too. read more

This place is awful. Every time I come in its dirty. Half the employees aren't working, have them clean up. There is one employee who barely works, she prefers to talk to her friends and play on her phone. While I was there she was on the phone the entire time even when customers were at the counter. She did not stand up or put her phone down to greet a single customer. Piss poor customer service. One girl even mentioned that she does not like kids. In pretty sure they allow their friends in the back to get their own ice cream. Half of them look like they didn't bathe before coming to work. I also hate that they never have rainbow sprinkles yet they are advertised on the board. Save your money, go somewhere else. read more

Love. Not a scary array of 36 flavor/topping permutations. Hand crafted and fresh made by people who LOVE what they do. Add a drive through window and a Flavor Hotline (phone number to hear the flavor of the day) and it is PERFECTION. read more

great italian ice, great service, great price, and lots of free (and yummy) samples. you must try a fancy nancy (italian ice with yummy soft serve). i recent ate the famous shaved ice in hawaii, and this place is at least as good as that ice. of course, the great advantage of nancy's over hawaiian ice is that nancy's is only a short (and cheap) car ride from anywhere in montgomery. read more

There's not a whole lot to Nancy's. Italian ice isn't exactly a gourmet food, and the mildly-interested high schoolers that man the register are proof of this. But the Fancy Nancy is a work of genius. Alternating between the tart ice and the creamy soft serve is a wonderment of contrasting flavors, tied together through their similar texture, and all for a couple bucks. read more

GREAT Italian Ice for an AWESOME price! The wife has been taking the kids there and getting them the small cups of Italian Ice. I went and tried a small chocolate chip cookie dough Fancy Nancy. I was blown off of my feet that they could pull off a cookie dough Italian Ice. Will DEFINITELY be back and will frequent when in the area! read more

I love Nancy's. I'm really glad I'm a good old southern boy cause if I were from up north, I guess according to one yelper, I'd know that Nancy's isn't .... what? Good? Nancy's is excellent and I have had the up-north version. My wife really loves Nancy's, she makes me go more often than I would -- like I need to be dragged to this wonderful dessert shop. Y'all are the best!!! read more

I loved Nancy's. Their Italian Ice and ice cream desserts are delicious and perfectly satisfies my sweet tooth! Sadly I don't live in Montgomery to regularly support the business and enjoy their treats, but when my husband and I visit, we will be back! read more
