Petrucci's Ice Cream & Water Ice: Reviews & Ratings

I wanted to taste and see what the difference was between Italian Ice and Water Ice. I have to say it's good but if you are borderline diabetic don't try water ice. They need a smaller serving size which is my only complaint. I had the sour apple, with vanilla ice cream and vanilla soft serve on the top, but I couldn't make it to the vanilla ice at the bottom of the cup. Very good prices and service was good.

Yummy creamy soft serve and hard ice cream and water ice. Many flavors to satisfy your tastebuds. Limited parking spaces. Friendly service. Definitely returning.

I pass by this ice cream shop gazillion times and I never stopped by to try. Finally I took my daughter here after picking her up from school. They have very limited parking spots right in front of the shop. So be prepared that you might have to park on the side or shoulder lane. Lady who took my orders was very nice and friendly. Service was good. Many flavors to choose from that I don’t even know where to start. I only know I will definitely return to try out other flavors. I think it’s also best to share because the portion is big if you don’t want to feel too guilty afterwards. Lastly, please note that this place is cash only.

I truly enjoyed my time there and the clientele, in addition to the great soft Ice Cream and homemade water ices. I love supporting local businesses and ones that are owned by a family as well as a military veteran. I was honored to meet that very person as he happened to stop by! His name is Jimmy and his family name is on the sign! A lively, energetic, boisterous guy, with a huge sense of humor that is contagious! His daughter manages the window and the young people who work there are really nice to deal with. Amazingly good product! I was pleasantly surprised.

The soft serve is my go to. But the homemade water ice is to die for! So now I get gelatis. Some nights there is a line but it is worth the wait. The staff is friendly the place looks clean and the ice cream and water is amazing. Must go place!!
