Uncle Louie G's @ The Downtown Parlor — Restaurant in Dunellen

I literally never write reviews of anything but tonight I had such a great experience! Me and my family were supposed to go to a different ice cream shop but because it’s the beginning of fall we were told that they didn’t have any Italian ice flavors for my husband and son, so we decided to try out uncle Louie g’s because we heard they had new owners. We met the owner Mike tonight and I never met a nicer guy! I was expecting it to be better than the previous owners, which I never even met because they were never even open, but I wasn’t expecting Mike to make me and my family feel so welcomed. I’m allergic to nuts and dairy and he went above and beyond to make sure their dairy free options were also nut free for me. I kept telling him it’s ok, and he insisted and on it because he said he wants everyone to have something they enjoy, how nice is that??! Not to mention the ice cream and Italian ice were delicious and they had 50 million options to choose from. I would recommend this place...

If you’re craving a sweet treat that brings back nostalgic summer memories, Uncle Louie G is the place to go! Known for their classic Italian ices and creamy ice cream, this neighborhood favorite never disappoints.

The variety of flavors is impressive—whether you’re into fruity, tangy ices like Cherry, Lemon, or Rainbow, or more indulgent ones like Bubble Gum and Cotton Candy, there’s something for everyone. And their ice cream? Super creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. Cannoli, Cookie Monster, and Peanut Butter Fudge are just a few that always stand out.

The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is usually friendly and patient—even when there’s a line out the door (which happens often on hot days). The shop itself has a fun, old-school vibe, and it’s the kind of place you leave with a smile and a sticky face.

Perfect for kids, families, or anyone looking for a cool,...

I had such a great experience at Uncle Louie G! The owner, Mike, was absolutely wonderful—so friendly and welcoming. The shop has over 100 flavors of ice cream (yes, you read that right—over 100!) and every one I sampled was delicious!

What really made my visit extra special was when Mike found out I had a dog—he surprised me with a pup cup to take home for my boy. That kind of thoughtfulness and kindness goes a long way. My pup loved it just as much as I loved my ice cream!

If you’re looking for an amazing spot with endless flavor choices, top-notch customer service, and a true neighborhood vibe, Uncle Louie G is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors (and my pup will be tagging along for his next...
