Though its roots trace back to Sicily, Italian ice as we know it today was introduced by Italian…read moreimmigrants during the early 20th century. Today, the dessert is enjoyed across the country and is particularly popular in the Northeast. Its light and refreshing texture, along with the variety of flavors to choose from, makes Italian ice a favorite dessert for people of all ages. Ralph's Famous Italian Ice has been around since 1928, Ralph Silvestro started selling "water ice" around Staten Island. If one's familiar with the semi-frozen Italian dessert, granita, Ralph's water ice is a bit like this Sicilian favorite. Located on a busy Boulevard in Hasbrouck Heights, my partner, his family, and I have returned to this establishment on July 4th Eve. Explored their menu consisting of a variety of homemade flavors and ice creams to choose from, and they can do a mix of flavors. We decided on Peanut Butter Crunch, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Apple Cobbler, and Pineapple Italian Ice. Ralph's still lives up to its name! Our sweet treats were delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor -- a true classic that never gets old. It's cash only and only opens during the summer months. The line could be long, especially at night; luckily our visit had a short wait. It never fails in bringing us happiness.

Sooo many flavors. Whcih I love. Ofc you can try before you buy. I saw passionfruit. Tried it and…read moreimmediately yes. They have a twister which is the soft serve with Italian ice which is my favorite. They do have various soft serve but sometimes they're out of flavors. I like vanilla with passion fruit so that's what I got. Sooo creamy and the ice is smooth no chunks or too icy. Just perfect!!!

Came here on a Sunday night, one of the few ice cream spots open late…read more I ended up getting the Matcha Green Tea ($8.75) which comes with strawberry in the match ice cream and topped off with mochi and pocky sticks. Ice cream roll is made to order and always amazes me how they are made, the liquid turns into ice cream. Oddly satisfying, when the they roll the ice cream into a rolled up newspaper shape. The ice cream roll was really solid, it's a good amount of ice cream, bigger than it seems. I did come right before they closed (10pm), they didn't seem annoyed. I would recommend this place if you're in the mood for ice cream especially late at night. * Street parking * Open late

I have started having mine with almond milk and it is just as delicious! Recently, they have added several Thai dishes to their menu.

I've never written a negative review before, but this experience was beyond unacceptable…read more I placed a custom cake order that we discussed, confirmed, and had in writing. I started calling at 9am to finalize the invoice and never heard back until 2pm. When I finally reached someone, I was spoken to with open hostility and told, "What was I supposed to do, make the cake in an hour?"--despite the fact that everything had been confirmed days prior. The owners mother and counter girl spoke to me in a way I've never experienced from any business or anyone for that matter . Shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have written proof and photos showing they do take custom cake orders, despite later claiming they don't. There was no misunderstanding, no mix-up--just unacceptable behavior. I strongly recommend staying away from this establishment. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

I had to cancel my original date due to rain and Sidney was more than willing to reassure me and work with me to find an appropriate day that would work for us both. The level of customer service they provide to their client, and to the attendees is rare to find. They deserve more stars, if possible. I want to thank them for making it an easy and amazing process overall. I will definitely be booking them again for a future event. -Yanill, One happy customer!

Before writing this review I attempted to contact the store and corporate only to receive no…read moreresponse. We ordered an ice cream cake for Thanksgiving, and what we received yesterday though was excessively disappointing and truthfully, an unacceptable cake. Cutting into the cake, there was no chocolate ice cream, almost 0 cake crunch and a pocket of fudge in the middle. This cake was very poorly made and for ~$32, we were shocked to see we paid more for far less. I'm excessively disappointed and truthfully disgusted that this was passed off as an ice cream cake at an exorbitant price and even more disappointed that I received no contact back to help correct the situation.

We told the staff. They were not concerned in cleaning it up. We had to because we were stepping all in it. They seemed not trained in dealing with customers or maybe they just didn't care. Again the ice cream was quite good. But was definitely a weird experience. They also rung us up and walked back from the screen so was confusing. Will try again since it's local and was tasty

My favoriteeeeeee ice cream place! Not for Italian ice , I wish they would change the name because…read morethis place how such good homemade ice cream. They also change the flavors around sometimes, so I usually try whatever is new. One of the best tasting ice creams I've had so I won't go anywhere else. The last flavor I tried was churro ice cream with waffle cone crunchies on top. It was delicious! Tasted just like a churro. They have outside seating and welcome your pets :) this is also my dogs favorite ice cream place, she always get a vanilla soft serve with a dog treat on top haha so it's a perfect dog date

I have mixed feelings about this place. The staff is always friendly, and I love both the price and…read morethe portion sizes. I have a big sweet tooth, but I usually only want a few bites and can never finish a whole ice cream, no matter how small the size I order. The serving sizes here are perfect for me, and they're also great for my toddler. That said, some of my favorite flavors have been a bit disappointing. Cookie Monster, which is usually one of my favorites, wasn't great. It had a slightly bitter taste and way too much food coloring. It was extremely blue and stained everything, which wasn't ideal, especially with a little one whose favorite flovor is cookie monster. Overall, I appreciate the friendly service, value, and portion sizes, but I do wish some of the flavors were a little better.
