Reviews for Ralph's Famous Italian Ices of Astoria in Queens, NY
I love Ralph?s water ice and this location doesn?t change that. I got 3 flavors on a Saturday afternoon and had no wait or... issues getting any of the flavors I asked for. The employee was very nice and accommodating. I put 4 stairs cause it was awindow ordering. You could not go inside which was different and the menu was very small and didn?t include all the flavors theydid have. Read more
Cute cozy and convenient little place right in our neighborhood. It reminds me of italian ices we used to eat with the wooden... spoon when we were kids. So many frozen and creamy ice flavors. We had frozen cherry water and creamy pistachio. Yummy! Sorryno photos this time! Read more
I am appalled! Shout out to Liam for holding it down by himself until after work hours-it is supposed to be closed at 10pm!!! My... boyfriend waited 30 minutes and they were out of 5 of the flavors. Some employee (girl) hopped out of a random car to finallyhelp him at 10:08. What type of business is this? As a daughter of a small business owner, the owner of Ralph?s should alwayshave two or more employees present on the weekends especially when there is a movie playing in the park! I can?t believe Liamwas left alone and not happy as he had to work nonstop while the other employee was MIA. Read more
Would NOT recommend! Went here tonight with my husband and two daughters. My husband asked for three flavors that were on the... board and she said they didn?t have them. We said that it was fine and he didn?t get anything. My daughter ordered an icebergthat was supposed to have soft serve on top. She had us pay and then told my 12 year old if it was ok to not give her the softserve because they were out?.so basically she waited for us to pay to give us a $5 slush?.no ice cream. Seriously disappointedthat she chose to be dishonest with a child when we ordered and did the bait and switch. My daughter ended up throwing it awayafter a sip because she didn?t want a slush, but rather ice cream with flavor. Read more
Delicious ice cream. Lots of choices, dairy, and dairy-free ice cream. They also have milkshakes. No seating, so you order thru... the window. Except for the short line. I went there during the nighttime. Read more
My whole family is incredibly excited to have a Ralph's in Astoria. The staff was super helpful and kind in offering advice. The... sundaes are a good size with a great proportion of toppings. Really happy with how much hot fudge we got ???? I am a big fan ofthe twister which is a layer of soft serve, an ice of your choice, all topped with another layer of soft serve. The Milky wayice was deliciously chocolatey and it paired well with vanilla. I also like a mango ice twister with vanilla for a more fruityexperience. Read more
Ralph's is a family owned business which started in Staten Island, NY in the late 1920s and which now has a new location here in... Astoria. Personally, it gives me a lot of hope to see new businesses opening up but I'm especially glad to see one with a NYpedigree like Ralph's. Ralph's is mainly known for their really great Italian ice. I've been to some of their other locationsand have tried many flavors offered in their huge menu but my go to is the watermelon ices. It's so refreshing, light andtasty. So today, for their Astoria Grand opening, I just had to order a pint of their watermelon ices. Ralph's menu also hasvarious home made ice cream, sundaes, shakes, fruit smoothies and icebergs (smoothie with soft ice cream). This new location isright off 30th Avenue. Go right up to the outdoor window to order a treat to go. Right now they are only taking credit card ormobile pay. And don't forget to ask for their rewards card. The 10th item (ices or ice cream) is free with the reward card. Read more
Ralph?s is in Astoria! Love this place, the unique taste and texture of their signature cream ice is out of this world. They... have the most selection of flavors I?ve seen at an ice cream spot. They give you a lot and let you try different options. Crazycoconut is my jam! Go walk to the park across the street and enjoy :) Read more
