Ralph's Famous Italian Ices & Ice Cream

I am a Staten Island native but have moved to New Jersey were there are many other Italian ice places. Even with the move, there is no other place I want to go get Italian ice from than Ralph's! I even travel 30 minutes to the closest Ralph's by me rather than going to Rita's which is 3 minutes away from me. I am never disappointed with anything I get. The amount of flavors they have are amazing and it just so happens that they all taste amazing as well! My favorites are the vanilla chip ice and the blue hawaii ice. I tasted a bit of their new Cookie Monster ice cream and it was amazing! I plan on getting it soon. Ralph's never fails in bringing me happiness and there is no other place I will get my ice from than Ralph's. It has become a tradition in my family. 10/10 all around. Thank you Ralph's!

This place is the greatest ever,u must try the flavors of ur favorites,this will be the only place i will go for ices,if u want ices in staten island,this is the place to go,the lines r long,but worth the wait,it has 70 flavors to choose from

Shout out from STL, MO! Love your ices! Wish there was an Italian Ice joint like yours here!

The original is always the best. Flavors galore are usually available. Open from mid spring to mid fall, its always packed here, which is a sign of its greatness. When I say flavors galore, I mean, easily 70 to choose from. Its impossible to walk away and not try something.

If you find yourself on Staten Island you need to visit Ralph's Italian Ices (not water ice as my wife from Philly calls it.) They have all types of ices and ice creams all homemade all delicious. It's been open since way before I was born and have since opened many chain stores all over the tri-state area, but nothing beats the first one. It can get very busy at times but the wait is worth it.

UNCLE GERRY'S TIP: Be a purist, go for the lemon ice.
