Locals Are Thrilled This Century-Old Iconic Italian Ice Shop Is Opening A Second New Jersey Location

Overall, New Jersey has some of the best desserts around. The state has perfected cannolis, cakes, cupcakes, sundaes, and of course, Italian ice. Italian ice might seem like the most unassuming dessert of all time, but don’t be fooled: It may be simple, but it’s incredibly delicious and refreshing. In fact, it might just be the best possible treat on a hot summer day! New Jersey residents know some of the best Italian ice comes from an iconic century-old shop: DiCosmo’s Italian Ice in Elizabeth. If you’ve already tried it and loved it, we have very good news for you: The owners just announced a second location is opening in New Jersey this year!

DiCosmo's Italian Ice started out as a grocery store in Elizabeth in 1915 before it started selling Italian ice in 1918.
