My favorite flavors are butter pecan and maple walnut. Even though I usually hate nuts, the flavor is so good that I just work around them. My partner loves the pecan and pistachio.

They are adding one in Orange to join the existing lineup in New Britin, North Attleboro, Windsor, Sturbridge, East Lyme, and West Hartford. We've already been to their New Britain flagship store, and we just visited the brand new West Hartford location. We found it in the middle of Blue Back Square in the space previously occupied by Kilwin's. Frisbie's sells Super Premium, handcrafted ice cream and dairy-free options. I saw twenty-six flavors up on the menu board, and it was cute how some name-checked Connecticut locations within the flavors. Case in point were Cheshire Cherry Vanilla, Stanley Park Strawberry, Southington Salted Caramel, Newington Nutella, Farmington Fudge..... oh well...you get the idea, right? We wanted two sugar cones, but business must have been great on the Fourth of July because they were sold out of sugar cones. But that meant we each pivoted and ordered a single scoop cup for $6. I went with Cheshire Cherry Vanilla (Vanilla ice cream with swirls of sweet black cherries in cherry filling) and my wife went with Mikey's Mint Chocolate Chunk (Mint ice cream with chunks of chocolate, made using freshly picked mint cooked into the ice cream base). They were fairly large single scoops, and you won't feel ripped off at the $6 price tag. So how was their "Super Premium, handcrafted ice cream"? It was fantastic. Smooth, creamy, decadent and full of flavor. PRO TIPS 1) There is NO seating offered inside the store, but there are plenty of tables and benches in the nice courtyard just off to the side of their entrance. 2) You can enter their birthday club (like I did) and get $6 off your next order (which we did!)

Do yourself a favor, skip whatever else you were planning on doing today, and go get a cup. 10/10, no notes, taking a bucket home with me next time.

Chet's Italian Ice is an Italian Ice vender and brand that launched in New Britain, Connecticut in…read more2007. It was founded by Concetto "Chet" DiMauro. From an early age, DiMauro had a passion for baking. In 2000, he graduated first in his class from Johnson & Wales University and received the Edward D. Fuller Award. Afterwards, DiMauro spent several years working in the hospitality industry: from hotels and resorts to restaurants, confectioneries and bakeries. In 2007, he saw the need for healthy frozen desserts since there are very few places outside New York City that had authentic Italian Ices. That same year, he launched his own Italian Ice brand where he produced authentic small-batch Italian Ice crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients. All flavors are fat, dairy and cholesterol free. In addition to classic Italian Ice flavors, DiMauro also crafts specialty flavors such as Lemon-Basil or Pear-Cardamom. The signature Chet's Italian Ice pushcarts can be found at various festivals and farmer's markets throughout Connecticut, as well as private events such as weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs or fundraisers. My family and I recently sampled some of Chet's Italian Ice when we were attended a "Touch-a-Truck" event in Madison. After eating a pizza from another food truck that was there, Italian Ice sounded like a nice option for dessert. My wife had previously seen a Chet's pushcart at the Wallingford Garden Market. Customers are allowed to combine flavors, so my wife and sons all had "Watermelon" combined with "Blue Raspberry" , and I had "Lemon" (made w/ Meyer lemons) combined with "Chocolate Fudge" (made w/ premium French chocolate). Of my choice, DiMauro remarked, "That's a classic flavor combo!" I told him that I love to pair lemon with chocolate because it reminds me of chocolate lemon pie: a specialty at New Haven-area Italian bakeries. We were all very happy with our choices. We hope that we run into Chet's Italian Ice again because it was exceptionally delicious!

They offered four varieties of Italian ice today, and as a bonus, also had a batch of blueberry ice cream available. We had a very nice conversation with Concetta, the Chet's rep at the booth, and she said we could mix and match flavors any way we wanted because "there are no rules here". We walked on the Wild Side and mixed coconut ice with the blueberry ice cream, and the result was incredible. We loved the whole frozen blueberries inside their ice cream. What a great frozen treat on a very hot day. Chet's never disappoints.

I walked in with the intent of getting a smoothie, which I did, but also ended up purchasing the shrimp wrap & a Mac & cheese dog. The seating is in abundance, with the choice of booths, tables & high tables. The decor is hip & chic with their colorful painting & graphics directly on the walls. I would have sat to enjoy the ambiance but I had the furbaby in the car. I went with the Pure Bliss smoothie & it hit the spot. I definitely tasted the fresh ginger & also chunks of the fruit. They don't have a designated dog smoothie, like I've seen at other places, but you do have the option of building your own. In addition to smoothies, they also offer acai, oatmeal & dragonfruit bowls. There's something for everyone! If you get the cheese dogs, get extra napkins. This is isn't your typical topping. This is a whole lot of mac & cheese shells drowning a 9" hotdog. I was in cheese heaven. The wrap was also tasty. I without a doubt loved the corn dusted medium sized shrimp. With all the healthy ingredients, there was not a feeling of guilt in site as a ate every crumb. The side are their house potato chips. Normally, I'm the oddball who does not enjoy this kind but I found my hand dipping in the bag multiple times. They are well salted & peppered, no soggy ones included. There menu is so extensive, it'll take a few trips to get through it all. No complaints here.
