    Strollo's has absolutely amazing Italian ice that's so creamy it's more like ice cream. The owner mans the counter and service is quick but not served with a smile. There's no small talk or thanks. But the Italian ice is so good. We all opted for small cups with multiple flavors in each, and servings are large. The issue with Strollo's is that you never know when it's open. We had been trying every day for 5 days to find it open. They seem to open randomly when the mood strikes them. I'm glad I got to try it before leaving town.

    The best Italian ice spot I've ever been to. I used to go here growing up and a few years ago, they moved locations across the street for a larger space. The pro move is to get 4 different flavors. You can get 4 different flavors at once and can even mix and match with ices and ice cream which is delicious.

    When visiting belmar, my friends insisted that I try Strollo's. There were many people outside enjoying their Strollo's and there was a line stretching out the door when I stopped by. The line moved impressively fast and when I got to the window, I was served very quickly. The inside is quite small and there is no indoor seating or space to stand around. It is also cash only, but there is an atm conveniently right outside. Strollo's has an interesting concept of both soft serve and Italian ice, with the option to have both together in the same cup. I got the mango shaved ice with chocolate soft serve in the kids size (definitely enough) and it definitely lived up to the hype!

    I tried the red raspberry and the peanut butter. Soooo good, especially on a hot summer day.

    The best ice cream place I have ever been to! I got a small cup of Italian ice with the flavors: red raspberry, mango, and passion fruit. Out of the three, the mango tasted the best. It was so flavorful, very sweet, and it tasted very different from other Italian ice places. The consistency of the ice was perfect. It was very smooth, not chunky at all. It is presented very beautifully too. You can choose up to 4 flavors with a small and it was cheaper than most places! I also tried their vanilla and strawberry soft serve. It was so yummy-- I usually never get soft serve ice cream because I think the flavor is too strong and artificial tasting. However, the strawberry was spot on. It tastes like the strawberry flavor soft serves I get in China. It was so creamy and thick which I really like. There is very limited seating (no seating inside). However, there are a few tables outside for you to use. They have their own parking lot which is nice. The staff are very friendly and will answer any questions you have.

    This Strollos location is alright, definitely not the best though. The ice cream flavors are limited. They only have vanilla and chocolate soft serve whereas other locations have flavors of the day and strawberry. They do have a lot of awesome Italian ice flavors though. Red raspberry, passion fruit, and mango are my favorites. I recommend coming here if you are really hankering for ice.

    THEY MOVED ACROSS THE STREET! They also no longer serve Blue Raspberry Italian Ice. HEART BREAKING! We came here and had a heart attack when we saw the original location was under construction. We pulled off and coincidentally had to make a U-turn and boom! there it was across the street. I wish they put a sign there so I didn't have to die and come back to life. This place is simply perfect! I don't know what else to say. One bad thing, they don't have the blue flavor anymore.

    Great little gem in a great beach town. Italian ice is not Italian water ice. It's so much better!

    Has gotten very pricey and portions very small. Giving it a two star for being greedy and overcharging in my opinion.

    Is the Belmar Strollos currently open (Sept 19, 2018)?

    They moved across the street inside that yellow building on the corner. I was there in summer -

    Do they have wet nuts?

    Callie's Creamery is honestly a hidden gem. But in a sea of famous Jersey shore ice cream towns,…read morehow do they stand out you may ask. Their ice cream contains the highest quality ingredients and all of their flavor flavors are handcrafted in house. You can really taste the difference! We tried a variety of amazing flavors like the mint fudge swirl, Nutella Graham, Callie's cotton candy, and the Dubai chocolate, but my favorites were Cookie Monster and biscoff cookie butter! You can order an ice cream flight which is perfect for indecisive people like me. Six flavors, sounds good to me! Their sundaes are huge and could be shared with 2 people. The brownie sundae was decadent and dripping in fudge. Yum! I like that it's indoors which means you can come here year round. There's plenty of seating in their adorable ice cream shop, which is adorned with painted sprinkles all over the walls! There's claw machines for kids and even a photo booth. Pints, ice cream sandwiches, and more in their freezer ready to go. Can't wait to be back for more!

    I have an unhealthy obsession with this ice cream. It's in a tie for 1st at all times. Specifically…read morethe biscoff cookie butter, cookies and cream, and s'mores are to die for. They also have a great rewards system where they'll randomly sent you a free $5 off which almost pays for a whole ice cream. The store is always very clean and you can try as many samples as you like. They clearly label the flavors with the allergens so you can be safe. If you ask them to use a clean scoop for severe allergies they are very accommodating. Another cute thing they do is theme night for kids so they'll have Bluey and characters come visit. Super cute, one of my all time favs.

    When it's sunny in Jersey, Lou Bega likes to come to this location and get "a little bit of Rita's…read morein the sun." Unfortunately he can't stay past sundown, though, because he's only allowed to get "a little bit of Mary all night long." Since very few people are actually named Mary these days, you now know why it's very hard for Lou Bega ever not to spend the night alone. Poor guy. But he has plenty of fun during the daytimes. Beyond sundown is when I first came to this particular Rita's. It was in July 2014. I was with a very good looking girl from Texas who had - gasp - never had Rita's before. The employees here were lovely, and so was my company. She absolutely loved the product and I (as always) did too. I'll tell you what we got a little bit later but first a bit on the customer service. A lot of the local branches (Long Branches, lol) were closing early, but this one was open late. An hour later than everyone else, and we arrived with literally 5 mins til closing time. Most of the time this ends in tragedy as "machines are off" and "we're closing up", but at this location, they were super nice about it and served us! Massive kudos because we'd have been disappointed to miss out on Rita's. It makes sense she'd never been because for the most part, Rita's is a North-Eastern thing. We don't have any in Buffalo (sob). There is one in Rochester, which I think I might go and visit today actually. And then there are many in the NY-NJ-Philly-Delaware area. I've seen one in Columbus. I heard from a good Yelp friend in Phoenix (Susan) that there's one down there too. I think they're popping up all over the place now and becoming a national franchise. It's not expansion, it's just that they'll sell the rights to a franchise to anyone who wants one. And the product is so damn ridiculously good that it makes total sense. If you get the chance to give one a try, make sure you do. Now you know I don't like chains, but Cook Out (Carolinas), Handels (PA-OH) and Rita's are three very definitive exceptions which make products so good, they make your mother cry. No literally, she cries at how fat you got from eating at Rita's too much. What we ordered is the same thing that you should order. A Gelati, with cherry water ice and vanilla custard. Now all of the water ice is great and all of the custards are yummy. But this particular combo is the winner. What you need to get when you come to Rita's is a Gelati with Cherry Ice and Vanilla Custard. Mixing water ice with custard sounds like a horrible idea. It's not. Come and get it and we'll talk later. Seriously, I never thought I'd enjoy mixing custard with water ice until the guy in Delaware (gasp gasp gasp gasp) told me to try it. And my goodness did I love it. This Gelati will make you come... back for more. The Jersey Shore is full of stuff that will make you come... back for more. Just ask Snooki and J-Woww and their ex-boyfriend Garland. They'll all tell you what's up. I like to name drop Garland because he's one of the very few people that actually reads all my reviews. Are you someone who actually reads my reviews? If so, message me, I'd love to hear from you. I might start name-dropping you too (but only if you don't want me to). So. Gelati with Cherry. Just pop that cherry... pop the cherry... pop the cherry (sorry I have a stammering problem) right into your mouth and enjoy the amazing taste. It's probably good with other flavours of water ice too, but I first had it with Gelati, and when I had it with the Lemon Ice (which is very popular and they often sell out of it), it wasn't as good. With the Swedish Fish though, it was very very good. I do love the Lemon Ice though, and the Green Apple Ice too. If you're not in the mood for custard, the ice is wonderful by itself and has bits of fruit in it. If you're not in the mood for water ice, then the custard alone is lovely. And remember, you're in the Jersey Shore. So enjoy that ice, act Italian-American, and start some drama with someone. Anyone. You can even start drama with one of my cats if you want. But they have not been de-clawed and will not be de-clawed so if they scratch you, it scars. I know this from personal experience. I'm always like... "don't scratch me......ow!"

    Love Rita's! Always delicious, worth the ride! There are places to sit outside! Very convenient…read morelocation.
