This classic establishment offers a wide variety of refreshing flavors, using fresh ingredients to create an affordable and satisfying treat. Whether you opt for the classic water ice or the creamy ice cream, the experience is worth the occasional long line, which moves quickly. Customers praise the fair prices and the exceptional quality of the water ice, with one reviewer describing it as "the best I've ever had." Another customer highlights the small but well-executed selection of flavors, noting that the water ice, ice cream, and "gelati" (a blend of the two) are all superior to those of a popular competitor.
