It's not a complete beach day without getting an Italian ice! Strollo's Lighthouse has been a…read moreJersey Shore staple for over four decades. The main selling point is their homemade Italian ice, but they also offer soft serve ice cream, shakes, hurricanes, root beer floats, and sundaes. What sets their product apart is the fact that they pioneered the concept of dispensing Italian ice through a soft-serve machine. This allows them to produce a consistent, quality product that could be made much faster compared to using the old scoop method. They have your classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry as well as a variety of fruity flavors like cherry and mango. They keep staple ones throughout the year, and rotate seasonal ones weekly. The Long Branch location is conveniently located right across from the Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park. The parking lot is tight. There's plenty of tables outside to enjoy your treats. They are CASH ONLY, but have an ATM machine. Lines can be long, but the employees work quickly and efficiently to keep things moving. We got the Pistachio Italian ice in a small cup ($4.75). Portion size was generous for a small! The flavor was nutty, earthy, and had a hint of sweetness. The texture of the ice was smooth and light. A refreshing treat to cool you down during a heat wave!

I choose a snickerdoodle cookie and a Nutella chocolate chip cookie. Both cookies were crispy and delicious. I then choose the Mud Pie ice cream -coffee and brownie.

It was outstanding! We were all in heaven - it was incredible! ( sorry couldn't wait to take a picture- I had to taste first!) I love that we could order a pint size besides regular cup sizes. I also saw some other flavors that sounded amazing. We will definitely be back again soon to try many more flavors when we can! Enjoy

I came back here and ordered a flight this time. It came with four ice cream varieties and a…read morewaffle cone. The waffle cone was tasty and came out fresh while also having a nice crunch. Each flavor of ice cream was also divided where no touching of flavors was done, which was a great idea. The four flavors I had are below. Brown Sugar Cookie Dough - This was better than I remember, and I enjoyed the actual brown sugar ice cream better this time. Key Lime Pie - This was alright. The crumbs were too soft, and the actual lime ice cream overpowered that. Porta - This was a porta ricotta and virgin olive oil sweet cream ice cream. This was solid but could not really taste the olive oil and ricotta presence. It tasted ever so slightly, but the sweet cream flavor was good. Pistachio - This was my favorite flavor tried of the day. I liked the pistachio pieces and the actual cream, which was very fulfilling.
