I absolutely love Ralph’s !!!! I cannot wait until March when it opens back up !!! I wish one would stay open all year around !!!!

Best Italian ice! The flavors are amazing. Service is quick and the staff are always super nice. Some flavors are not always available but there's so many to choose from you'll find one you'll love no problem!

This place absolutely hits the spot on a hot night. This was my first time trying the strawberry cheesecake and it blew me away. I don’t think I’ll order a different flavor ever again

Fairly new location for Syosset Ralph's Ice. It had moved from the Village Hero parking lot to this store front. Very spacious, bright and cool (temp-wise) A lot of flavors to choose from. Always good.

Their location has changed since the picture was posted. They’ve reopened nearby and introduced a variety of new flavors. My favorite has been the acai bowl, but you really can't go wrong with their cream or water ices. Their banana shake is just as delightful as any of their other specialty shakes and ice creams. I believe I visit them 3 to 4 times a week.

We go all the time, 2 fer Tuesday twister deal is great. Try to avoid when there are a lot of uncontrolled little people running around
