Italian Ice Cream — Restaurant in Niagara Falls

This is my favourite small Italian Café in Niagara Falls. It’s only a few minutes walking from Clifton Hill. The owner is doing everything with love. I like the new design and interior, looks very clean and modern. Also, there is a small patio and parking. It’s very nice always to see baristas (same girls working for many years, very polite, attentive and friendly).

Their Gelato is the best in Niagara Falls. I love every single flavour. Also, I like the milkshakes with gelato (coconut & banana). Coffee is always great, love the taste and it’s always made professionally. Try their Mocaccino, it’s always delicious!!! But their Paninis is something unbelievable! It literally stole my heart, especially Prosciutto Panini and Tuna Panini. The mix of flavours (cheese, roasted peppers and eggplants) - the best combination for lunch! There is also a good variety of Italian lemonades and snacks. We also ordered a Birthday cake once!

Therefore, if you like coffee & gelato, Italian Ice Cream is the best place to go. Family, who owns this place, are really nice people and always there, so they take care about good quality and customer satisfaction. I always see same customers, they are going there for years, everyone loves this place! Very good place for tourists and...

Found this gem really close by to our Airbnb. If it's close to you, I highly recommend coming here for a refreshing treat. Everything is decently priced, considering that it is still very close to the tourist area.

I made 2 trips here during my 4 day trip to Niagara Falls. The first time I ordered the Mango and Lemon. The gelato was smooth and refreshing which is just what I was looking for. My friends also ordered the hazelnut gelato which tastes really similar to ferrero rocher. If you like chocolate-y or love nutella, I highly recommend this one.

On my second trip here, I ordered the take-home 500mL box which costs only $7!!! This was a freaking steal considering how much gelato they give you. I highly recommend this box if you would like to share with 2 - 4 people. You can get a variety of flavours to try and they fill the box to the brim. I was really happy with all the flavours I tried, but one of my favourites was definitely the strawberry gelato. No artificial food colouring or any of that sort, just really good strawberry gelato.

My friend also had the espresso with ice cream which he fell in love with. He kept thinking about how good it was when we left and pretty much raved about it.

Overall, if you're looking for a sweet treat or dessert in the...

Today, I finally found a cozy spot to chill and get some work done—it’s called the Italian Ice Cream Café, a family-owned gem that’s been around for over 60 years. Finding a good café to relax and work in has been surprisingly hard, so this place felt like such a lucky find!

I had a cappuccino (so good!) and an amazing prosciutto panini. The food was incredible, but what really made my visit special were the people. Everyone was so friendly and shared the sweetest stories about the café and its history. It truly felt like a place built on love, community, and kindness.

Oh, and can we talk about the adorable little cutout on the counter? Turns out, it was made by the owner’s daughter! Isn’t that the cutest thing ever? Ahhh, I can’t—it’s just so full of love and warmth!

Big shoutout to Jack, Angelo, Joe, Mike, and everyone else who made me feel so welcome. They were all so sweet, and I already can’t wait to come back just to say hi to them again. If you’re ever near Niagara Falls, this café is a must-visit. It’s not just a place to grab a bite or coffee—it’s an experience filled with amazing food, incredible people, and so much heart. I’ll definitely be back! Until then thank you for the...
