“I just need to inform everyone that the Mediterranean wrap is absolute crack. The sauce that it comes it is amazing, the wrap is amazing and decently sized and priced. I didn’t even know that this place existed and I drove past all my way to work deciding that I would try it. I’m so happy I did and got the Mediterranean wrap because it truly was so so good. I highly recommend.“

“I have to share an incredible story with you.. It’s long so please hang in there. One of my children had their tonsils out last Wednesday. I’m sure when this happens as a child it must be horrible, I know growing up so many of my friends had their tonsils out, but I was completely unprepared for how healing would be for my child who is an adult. The recovery has been so much more than any of us anticipated. For their recovery I was asked if I would bring up Blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s. Off to the store we went, purchased a few half gallons and brought it on the trip with us as we met up with our child the day of surgery. 24 hours after surgery my baby was a mess, the pain was horrible, and the only thing helping was blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s! I called the store and asked if there was a way to ship the ice to my child. The gentleman on the phone, who I now know as the owner of both the Selden Ralph’s and the Farmingville Locations immediately started to explain to me how we may be able to make that work. The next morning, after my child had already gone through a half gallon, I realized I had to try. When I called that day Pat took charge, not only did he do the research for what I needed, he got it all together for me. He even went so far as to tell me that if he couldn’t figure it out he would be willing to drive the 2.5-3 hours to bring it to them. (Let me add in my other child who is on the island with me was just diagnosed with a concussion, and needed me home so I was unable to be with my child who was recovering from surgery 😭) Pat went to UPS for me and picked up the right size box and the packaging I needed. Then he went on to get dry ice to make sure Blue Hawaii would survive the trip. While the local dry ice place wasn’t so kind, he then drove to Bay Shore to another reliable source who helped. (This was now taking up a ton of this mans time, a decision he made to help me to help my child feel better at no additional charge or perks for him. Without his help I would have never been able to figure this out or get it out that day) He packed the order and I had a friend meet up with him who would then take it to UPS for me to ship it out. So off the ice went on its journey. And it arrived 100% prefect to my child the next day. Yesterday I finally had the chance to meet the man who cared enough to go above and beyond for my family. He didn’t have to do this, there was nothing in it for him, he even gave her extra ice, and I honestly believe he would have taken the drive himself. I went back in to purchase yet another gallon and a half for my child who has not spoken since the surgery but when I FaceTimed them from his store yesterday they did so to thank this wonderful man blue tongue and all 😂. As I am now sitting on the ferry reflecting I needed to share this story with all of you. I am a big believer in being there for one another and what a random act of kindness can do and the impact it can have. This man could have just left it, he could have told me how to do it, and I could have attempted to stumble through while caring for my other child recovering at home yet he went the extra mile for my family. We already were huge fans of Ralph’s but they will now be our one and only stop. I hope if you have never given them a shot you will <3 and my child’s suggestion of course is try Blue Hawaii! I can’t wait to bring her more ice today!“

“We have been going to this hometown location since it was a little wooden shack . My kids grew up going to Ralph’s , now they have kids . So now 5 generations of my family have loved Ralph’s Italian Ice Farmingville 🇮🇹🍧“

“Amazing staff! Never a wait. Every Ralph’s should be run like this one!“

“I ordered a custom cake for my brothers 16th birthday and it was amazing ! The woman who helped me was so friendly , and honest. When I told her I wanted black icing, she advised that black is difficult because it needs a bunch of different food coloring and doesn't taste good, so we ended up going with red. She really took her time to make sure we were on the same page and had everything correct. I was worried the picture would look tacky or blurry because its printed but it looked like it was drawn right on the cake. Definitely recommend this service !“

“UnMAtched Soft Serve“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream. I had cookies + cream and Smores flavour, would really recommend them! Friendly and helpful people behind the counter, sweet little place, good for the family with 3 booths inside and seating outside. Classic place, give it a visit!“

“This place is a hidden gem! Lovely family-owned business with an amazing selection and outstanding customer service! I love that the boxes come with so many more bars than you get in the supermarket!! Plus, you can find items here that you never see in the supermarkets!!“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“it is a carvel that gets a great bit of traffic so everything is always nice and fresh.“

“I absolutely love swirls and twirls. I come here every week and their prices are so reasonable. So many flavors and toppings to choose from. My favorite part is how clean everything thing is and how lovely the staff is. I would definitely recommend!“

“I stopped in for ice cream, and my card kept getting declined, despite there being plenty of money on it. I kept asking the girls to scan the card at the top of the POS machine, and they kept telling me they cannot scan the card until the card was entered into the machine three times. I have never encountered this before.I really think there is a mistake, because the scan option was implemented to protect consumers from having to enter or swipe their cards at a POS machine. I never scan my card at retail establishments anymore; I always scan my card at the top of the machine, and my payment is always accepted. I am never told I need to enter my card three times before scanning.It ends up some lovely woman paid for my ice cream anyway, which I am highly appreciative of.“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“I love the vanilla ice cream sundae with hot fudge strawberries walnut whipped cream and cherry �“

“My favorite place in Kings Park! We try and get our ice cream with their black cherry topping as often as possible. It is a challenge since we live in NH.“

“Excellent ice cream as always but a little pricey Nothing is changed but the price“

“First time back after 32 years! During my childhood was the place to be for soft ice cream, BIRTHDAY ICE CREAM CAKES!!!, and the chocolate ice cream sandwich’s!!! Owner was very nice and store was very clean. Will definitely be back a lot sooner. Thank you for bringing back the memories!!!!“

“My daughter and I have been coming to Ralph’s Italian Ice in Kings Park since they opened. They never fail to deliver the best ice cream in town. The staff here is always friendly, welcoming and on-the-go. Their ices and ice cream is always served fresh.Highly Recommended!“

“Their soft serve ice cream!!! 😍“

“You guys made my dairy free soft serve dream cone true! Last time I visited we discovered your soft serve dairy free chocolate and vanilla menu addition! At that time I hinted how I would die and go to heaven if you ever added a dairy free peanut butter soft serve…much to be delight…today we visited and you did just that!!! Thank you thank you thank you! It was DELICIOUS!!! Fan for life with customer service like that!“

“There’s nothing like a Ralph’s Italian ice to satisfy that craving. The problem is that there are too many flavors to choose from and they all are soooooo goood.“

“I have been loving Colosseo pizza since jr High school. Thats over 40 plus years and somehow they have not drop a notch in greatness. In todays time, there are so many critics of pizza being so widely loved, but these guys are a Long Island staple.

Inside, its very clean and moves quick in all respects be take-out, by the slice or sit down in their back dining room. Nothing super fancy but your coming for their great pizza!“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“This was my first time visiting this Ralph's location. I was greeted with a very pleasant hi, welcome to Ralph's! It's owner was there and she was wonderful. The store was clean and had so many different options. I took my time and ordered something for everyone in my family. The owner was great and I didn't feel rushed and they helped me by recommending some of the wonderful flavors to offer. They offer ices, cream ices, soft serve and sundaes. Would recommend this location to others looking for a cool treat on a hot day!“

“We had our daughter’s 3rd birthday here this past weekend. The party was flawless and stress free. Alicia was so accommodating from the moment I inquired up until the very end of our party. We did not feel rushed, the place was so clean, the staff were wonderful and put up our decorations for us! Five stars!“

“This is a Local Cafe that has never let us down. Prices are moderate and service is sufficient. Owners are usually hands on and very active in ensuring the stay/food is good. Anum and Tarun took care of us and make the customer feel valued. My kids love the shakes and ice cream!“

“my husband and I went there yesterday the food was amazing the staff was so respectful and friendly The Establishment was spotless we actually got to meet the owner Sylvie what a wonderful woman I recommend this place to everyone if you haven't seen it haven't been there go check it out you won't be disappointed“

“Hands down best froyo around, I love this place and always come whenever I crave good quality froyo. The guy upfront is always friendly and I appreciate the fact that this place is ALWAYS clean. I’ve been here multiple times and not once has this place had a single napkin on the floor. Most people on here complain about the prices but are the same people who love 10-15 toppings in their cup at once lol be serious.“

“Selena is AMAZING and truely cares for customer experience. She is a sweetheart that goes above and beyond to rectify issues caused by the app that is beyond her control. I will definitely be driving further just to visit this location moving forward.“

“Mmmm... Chocolate.... Yum!“

“I go almost every Tuesday with my son for the BOGO sundaes. Place is somewhat clean and staff is friendly. They could maintain the eat in area better. They know me there so they always hook me up with nice portions. It is also a dunkin donut store so a Boston cream donut is usually a staple to order. The ice cream is always good and on Tuesday it is worth the price. When it is not BOGO it would be not worth the price of $15 for 2 sundaes. It is a bonding time with my son which is worth it no mater the cost.“

“Five stars because I’m a Ralph’s addict and it’s a nostalgic place for me now.ServiceHigh school kids need weekend and summer jobs. The service is more than acceptable. I wish the Ralph’s mascot would make an appearance here though. I’ve always wanted to see a lemon with a top hat in real life.FlavorsIn a good way, this place is a mess. The flavors are plastered everywhere in long lists. New flavors are randomly placed on pieces of paper on the windows. It’s confusing and daunting to pick a flavor but it works for Ralph’s. The cream ices have a good amount of chunks in them, depending on the flavor. I like anything with peanut butter or chocolate chunks in it. Water ices are flavorful. The Ralphie smoothies are incredible too. Big fan of the triple chocolate Ralphie.PriceIt probably costs as much as ice cream but i it’s less expensive than gelato. Ralph’s is an expensive addiction.Recommend?You should try it.“
