“Delicious ice cream and wonderful service!“

“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“I used to come there for some ice cream cravings. After trying like 4 different places around, this one blew my mind with pistachio ice cream, which is my personal favorite. Not only that the ice cream itself is properly flavored, it also has nicely sized pieces of pistachios inside. Their waffle cones are a solid finish to the ice cream. I miss this place a lot.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“Best homemade ice cream ever! I had the coffee flavor and was not disappointed 🤤“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

“Updating my review based on the owner’s response. While our first visit on a Sunday morning was disappointing due to being overlooked while staff focused on prep, the management response was prompt, direct, and genuinely accountable. They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“

“Had a catering order. Placed the order a week in advance. The morning if pickup, the order states that it was ready when it was not. Got to the store and told them i was there for a catering pickup. No one said anything and they started to scramble to package everything. We paid extra to get the cookies in individual boxes. Upon getting the order noticed that nothing was in individual boxes. Now I have to scramble before an event to package these things. Do not get a large order from here.

Edit: cookies were delicious and we still had to make the boxes and pack the cookies ourselves the morning of our event but the store did right by us and gave us a refund.“

“Excellent contribution to my backyard party!!!“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“We came to the Englishtown location. So glad we did, my friend got a small banana ice cream in a cup she loved it!! I had a regular size Hot Fudge Sundae. It was perfection!! Wonderful server too. Fast friendly service and prices were very fair. We'll be back!!“

“It's not as pricey as i thought it was gonna be. My daughter and I love crumbl!! The cake batter cookie is my favorite one. The staff were all very nice and helpful. I recommend everyone try crumbl at least once! you won't regret it“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“The most reliable ice cream shop in the area, not only do they have fast efficient and friendly service regardless of the time of year (and they are open year round), but they also have clean inside facilities and restrooms for their customers which not many places in the area can boast of. They also have a convenient drive-thru which is also relatively unique. Definitely stop by with your kids!“

“The ice cream here is superb“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this ice cream was next-level. The moment I took the first bite, I knew it was worth every penny. The flavors are rich without being overwhelming, the caramel is perfectly smooth, and the whipped cream on top just takes it to another level. You can actually taste the quality—nothing about it feels cheap or rushed.

What surprised me most is how satisfying it is. It’s one of those treats that instantly boosts your mood and makes you feel like you’re indulging in something truly special. If you’re debating whether to try it, honestly… just go for it.

This is the kind of dessert that you end up thinking about later.

Highly recommend.“
