    Inside

    Came to Toscanini's on one of the hottest day's of the summer - ultimately satisfied and wished I had another day to try more flavors. Toscanini's has 2 locations, each with different rotating flavors. This one on First Street advertised a Spicy BBQ flavor, and I just had to go try it. The inside is very spacious with light wood walls and concrete flooring - very industrial/home-improvement-big-box-warehouse vibes. At the counter were several teens/young 20-somethings chatting amongst themselves. We were helped shortly after perusing the huge list of flavors. Whoever helped us allowed us to try a bunch of flavors. We tried: - Spicy BBQ - SUPER spicy, be forewarned. Definitely an interesting flavor, but personally could not handle an entire scoop of it. - Tahini - strong sesame flavor, but also a little plain We ended up ordering: - B3 - browned butter, caramely notes. This is their signature flavor. - Orange dark chocolate - although I didn't detect any orange, this was still a yummy chocolate flavor - French vanilla - basic for the SO's plain taste buds - Salty caramel - SO's go-to is caramel so this was a no-brainer for him Checking the website's flavor menu now, I really wished I was there to try their Miso Peanut Butter! Will definitely have to return if we're ever here in Boston!

    Toscanini's is a creamy located in Cambridge and they make all their ice cream from scratch. And this creamy has very unique flavors! I had half Pistachio and half Milo Godzilla, which I highly recommend! The ice cream consistency was smooth and velvety. They give free samples if you ask for them. Will be back again!

    So good! We got the milo, malt cookies and cream, and I forgot the name of it but it was like a vanilla base with grape nuts. The shop had a few tables and had a modern look. The people at the counter were really nice and answered all our questions. You were allowed to taste test. The malt cookies and cream was my favorite! It had oreo cookies that created different texture to the ice cream. The milk was good but I felt it was average since it was basically chocolate. The grape nut one was better than I thought it was gonna be.

    Ordered burnt sugar flavor with sugar cone in chilly afternoon. I liked the first bite but it was pretty bitter after first bite lol they have small seating areas but it's uncomfortable high chair setting. I recommend to do take out and enjoy walking on mass ave with ice cream on your hand!

    B3

    Toscanini's came as a high recommendation to me, so I went out of my to stop by in Cambridge to try it. They definitely offer a nice variety of flavors, so I wanted to sample different ones. The staff seemed a bit irritated that I asked for multiple samples, even though there was no line. One of the flavors I tried was B3, and once I did I knew I had to get a double scoop of that. B3 has HUGE chunks of soft brownie inside, and the brown sugar flavor throughout the ice cream is excellent and very rich. Very deep in flavor, I highly recommend B3!

    B3... but no brownies in sight!

    I am a huge Toscanini's fan. I enjoy the abundance of filing they include in their original and creative flavors. However, my experience this time was disappointing and not typical based on my part experiences. I door dashed two pints of B3, the most delicious flavor with huge chunks of brownie throughout. This time, one pint had only one piece of brownie and the other had three. This is a far cry from my experiences in the past where it was impossible to take a spoonful without a piece of brownie in it. This was extremely disappointing, especially since I hadn't had this treat in a while.

    Their Goat cheese and Earl grey ice cream is delicious. A little bit on the sweeter side but nice and creamy. I would say they have a big space but not as much seating. I'm assuming that's because they wanted to leave room for when there is a line of people. One of the better ice cream spots in the Boston area.

    Heard really good reviews about this place. So came here at night on 4th of July to celebrate after fireworks. Really fresh and creamy ice cream. I really loved it for sure. Had to get that B3! Such Large brownie bits in, It was beautiful! And such a beautiful combination with that whole brown butter and brown sugar thing going on. Definitely could have finished three scoops of this! Cookie dough ice cream was nice as well.

I could never get any of my kids interested in Harvard, so I never got the official tour. This was my chance, LOL. Well, no school tour, boo... Inside this ice cream shop is like a mixture of punk rock vibe, pink, black, and lovely sweet treats. I kind of like it. It's not like most ice cream shops in the south that I am used to seeing. ANYWHO! I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM! That's my motto basically so let's get it in me. If you pair that ice cream desire with a shot or two of expresso, things really start to look up! Behind the counter folks were ok. No real superstars to speak of. Paid so I did mint have a lot of interaction. This place served its purpose. I am glad we stopped. It looks like it's a chain when I searched it on Yelp. The affogato was really good. Nice and sweet with a big espresso bang at the end! Just lovely. The ice cream sandwiches are good too!! Stop by if you have a chance!!! '26 - 5

The staff here are always so friendly and efficient. While their cannolis are rather expensive ($7-$10 for 1) it does make your day 200% better when you get one of their sweet treats.

Here's a secret: Mike's is open early too, and if you're in for a classic espresso drink you can get one there along with a little (ok, large) sweet treat to start your day. There's not much by way of seating at this location so it's more for pickup, but there is a bar at the front of the store where you can sit for a few minutes to enjoy a treat. My husband and I got a latte and a cappuccino, and a pistachio cannoli to split. Both drinks were perfect, hot but not scalded, with robust espresso flavor. The cannoli, as expected, was fantastic. Yes, it's big. Yes, the toppings are only on the ends (but you can eat it strategically to make the toppings last through most of the experience). Maybe I have too much of a sweet tooth but unlike a lot of reviewers I did not find it to be TOO sweet, just the right amount paired with a bitter coffee beverage and split between two people. I've never had a cannoli for breakfast before, but darn if it wasn't a highlight of the trip.
