Well, I must say that when I go here I go for the ice cream. I don't go for food itself, but they…read moredo serve food here. So if you do want something to eat before you have your ice cream or just to have something to eat this is a spot that you could try. I do know that their ice cream is absolutely amazing. I do love the fact that it's not flavor crystals, but it's actually creamy and delicious. They have a lot of different flavors and the service is quick so you may get there and see a line, but the line will move fairly quickly. I like the fact that they have a baseball practice area where you go into the gate and you can hit some balls for the cost, of course but Although I don't play, it's nice to watch others and see how they do because it's pretty neat. I've never gotten the concept of baseball lol. But they have little tables with umbrellas on them so you can sit and enjoy the time there with friends and family and they have a little playground That little kids can play on. Overall, it was a positive experience and if you're ever around it would be worth checking out. Thank you for listening.

Stella's offers a vast selection of flavors of ice cream and custard ( not always easy to find in Albany. ). Staff is friendly and they keep the area clean around the side of the building.

Is there any cake decorated more beautifully than a custom cake from this longtime popular bakery…read morein Schenectady? I do not think so. The cakes are made fresh and not frozen. Today, we had a 10" Carrot Cake for an 18th birthday party. It not only looked picture perfect, it tasted great. The website describes the many flavors of cake available in different sizes in round or sheet cake style. When you call to order, you speak to a knowledgeable staff person to select a flavor, size, frosting, and filling. Then you select the decorations and colors you would like. The signature iconic script handwriting of their decorators is attractive and distinctive. You know it is a Villa Italia cake when you first see it. However, always check a custom order cake before you leave. When we picked up the Carrot Cake, the worker did not open box to show us the cake. They should be trained to show the costumer the cake before checking out! Fortunately, I did open box and saw a pink frosted cake saying HB Jackie. My cake was for an 18 yr old grandson. They fixed it so it looked nice, but it was not quick. Please check out my photos to see a few of the cakes we have ordered and enjoyed!

My wife ordered fried fish planks, while I opted for a cheeseburger with barbecue. For her, onion rings followed, and I chose french fries. Post-meal, we indulged in their exceptional ice cream, a highlight of the experience.

Still, the ice cream shop called the ice cream shop gets bonus points from me for being a local small business and I'm glad to see them reopen every spring. Now, back to the scoop. The small portion size was notable especially when compared to what we've come to expect at other local ice cream joints, and I'm disappointed because, who would rather have a smaller scoop of ice cream? We'll, not me. They have a few round benches across the parking lot from the shop, although some oddly have only the skeleton of an umbrella. Thankfully it was overcast when we came here most recently, so it wasn't an issue even though the only two bench seats with an umbrella were taken. Staff were reasonably friendly so service is not an issue, and I like the family vibe. Ice cream itself was fine, but I couldn't help but wish for a bit more of it.

We came here based on a friend's recommendation and found it to be a cute ice cream shop. Due to…read morethe pandemic, waiting in line was tough as we had to stay about 20 feet away from the ordering window and that meant planning our order in advance wasn't possible because we couldn't see the options. They carry Perry's ice cream (my wife's favorite) and had a lot of great flavors. I had "Peanut butter smore," which I had never heard of before, in a waffle cone. My wife had something-berry cheesecake. The ice cream was between soft and hard, which I found odd but not bad. Perhaps it was starting to melt? They have lots of large tables with umbrellas, though our seats were very low to the ground in an awkward sort of way. Wheelchair accessible tables are available. Dogs are not permitted, so Clover got to watch from the car. I wish I had more time to read their menu to see if they had specialty sundaes and such. They had 4-5 flavors of soft serve and/or Dole whip, which is nice.
