D’Emilio’s Old World Ice Treats — Restaurant in Philadelphia

D’Emilios serves water ice with Manhattan prices on Passyunk Avenue. Their cup of water ice is 3.25 for something reminiscent of a kids cup or smaller. With several fantastic water ice places in the area their prices are high for their size. The flavor is great and you can tell it has real fruit, despite leaving a slight syrupy after taste probably due to some sort of syrup additive. They also suffer from a severe identity crisis, are they a water ice place and desserts or sandwich shop? For a place that advertises their water ice as the main attraction they seem to do more sales of their sandwiches. They would do better choosing between one concept rather than two very different ones.

The wait time is a little long but not downright atrocious. This man has created the best Ice cream to bless my taste buds and I feel honored to have experienced this. The line (rightfully so) goes out the door which it deserves too. I wish nothing but the absolute best for this man and his ice cream creations. Philadelphia has an ice cream god walking amongst themselves and we do not even know...

If you want a epic treat, this is the place. Not only is it impeccably clean but the service is awesome. The Covid protocol is easy to follow. Daily updated IG menu, easy to read store front menu, a chalkboard with “at store” ordering instructions and several payment options, while also offering caviar pickup and delivery. The awesome human working tonight was friendly, helpful and decked out in gloves, face mask and a custom DEVO face shield. Plus he hooked our dogs up with mini vanilla soft serve treats, which they throughly enjoyed. Thanks again for a great experience, awesome treats and a reminder of summer during this strange time...to all those reading this DON’T FORGET TO TIP YOUR...
