This is a very busy place... the ice cream is absolutely delicious! They have gelato choices as well as creative ice cream flavors. The only draw back was the young kids that work here. They obviously have no service skills.

This has very good ice cream!!! Be aware the servings are VERY large. Try the Sanibel Krunch. It is one of their favorites for a very good reason!

A great selection of flavors and a nice area outside to enjoy a cone. Morning pastries are a nice addition. We always stop at least twice each time were on the island! Yummy!!

"Sanibel Crunch". That's all I'm going to say. Go get yourself some. They doubled the size of the store since our last visit to Sanibel, so word must be getting out.

Always a delicious treat, delicious creations and friendly staff! Always busy, but you usually get served promptly, and they provide free samples to ensure you enjoy your selection!

I had the Mixed Berry, Dirty Sand Dollar and Sanibel Krunch. They were awesome. I will go back to again before my trip is over. If you are in Sanibel, this is a "must do". All seating is outside. If you're not sure about a particular flavor, ask for a sample.

Had the same dark chocolate ice cream two days in a row and wish our trip hadn't ended the next morning or would have gone back again. They give generous portions and the staff is friendly.

Close to the lighthouse. Nice place for an ice cream after dinner. Don't get the low fat ones, because they fall apart and you lose 1/2 of it if you have a cone.

It was about two miles from our hotel, so this was a perfect destination for a short bike ride. Ice cream was very good, although I am not sure about the definition of 'original Italian', it came from PA, maybe some Italians founded a company there...And portions were huge, a 2-scoops could easily satisfy 2+ people
