Wow, just amazing Italian Ice. Came here on our way back from the beach. Wonderful, helpful staff asking if we wanted to try any flavors. Do yourself a favor and drop in. You will not be disappointed. Rainbow flavor is highly recommended

Very good Italian ice, probably some of the best I’ve ever had. This place is a 10/10. I recommend this as a nice little refreshment if you want to enjoy a nice dessert.

I NEED A FAVOR and ONLY YOU my faithful followers can help me right a wrong! We have 10 days to desend upon Deep River Ice to let them know we will see they next year! I love supporting local businesses and I love simple success stories – like owners Chelsea and Dave. Two of the nicest people you could meet. More later so lets get to the ICE!
Growing up in Hartford’s Southend I was brought up on REAL ITALIAN ICE. Not some frozen ice in a cup you need a pick to eat or some chipped ice with sugary sweet syrup ; I mean smooth, melt in your mouth, flavorful Italian Ice. With close to 25 Italian Ice flavors well you can go there every night for a month and never get bored! try 1, 2, 3 scoops OR bring a Pint or Quart Home!
The Ice Cream is Giffords and with a rotating 15 flavors well have at it! Oh they have DAIRY FREE, SUGAR FREE, PLANT-BASED, COCONUT-BASED, and NON-FAT no one is left out, so bring the whole family. Real Milk Shakes, Root Beer Floats, and assorted Sundaes what more could you want!
The store is impeccably clean, bright and plenty of seats for this type of shop! Ok back to Chelsea and Dave – they walk by the vacant store, decide its a great place to serve the community and they have been open for a few months. Now I understand they will be closing Oct 17th – so we have two choices 1. Lets help them reduce their delicious stock OR 2. Get them to stay open a few more weeks!! (sorry U2!!).
Regardless of when they close this year – we need to welcome them back next year in a big way! and why not? When you find the perfect place, count your blessings and indulge! LINE UP!

Best Italian ice and ice cream in the state! Workers are pretty cool too super nice and give back to the community as often as they can. Can’t think of a better small business in Deep River.

Excellent ice cream and Italian ice shop. The owners go out of their way to make your visit special. They offer Gifford’s Ice Cream, have a mobile unit and do event catering as well.

Chelsea and Dave are wonderful owners. They really take time to know their customers and make sure they are happy. I have celiac disease so they are very good when it comes to helping with what I can and can’t eat. All their Italian ice are gluten free and and soft serve ice cream is as well. Great people great place. Oh and they also have pup cups which my dog gives 2 paws up 🙂

I had their ice cream for the first time off their truck at the Essex concert series on August 29, 2024. WORLD CLASS ICE CREAM!!!! AMAZING INTENSE FLAVOR, I had the cinnamon bun flavor and I will NEVER forget it. Super creamy and deep cinnamon flavor with little crunchy streusel bits swirled through. Generous portion. Great value. Thank you!!

What a great place! My wife and I visited after a long day at the Chester Dog Fair (would recommend) and where looking for some ice cold refreshment. When we walked in the owners lit up the place with their welcoming smiles and greeting. While my wife went for the classic hot fudge sundae, I tried their Italian Ice flavors, sour patch kids and Swedish Fish. The hidden bites of candy were a welcomed surprise. Come in for a visit…Dog welcome, btw!
