Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks is my go to spot for a sweet treat, especially during the warmer months. With over 60 flavors, there’s truly something for everyone, from classic water ices to rich creme options. Personally, I think their crème ices are the way to go cause of the smooth, flavorful, and totally nostalgic. Whether you’re into fruity, chocolatey, or somewhere in between, they’ve got you covered. The service at this location is great. Friendly and efficie
Stopped by Ralph’s Italian Ices and had a great experience. The ice was flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. What really stood out was the customer service.There was a blonde girl Sofi working who was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. She made recommendations, kept the line moving, and had such a positive attitude that it made the visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!
