Marino's Italian Ices makes everyone smile when they see the little yellow cups in the freezer. So summery with it's icey, brightly colored and retro flavors, Marino's is exactly what you think of when you think of Italian ices.

Remember those times as a child eating Italian Ices that came in the little yellow cups with a wooden stick? Well, you're in luck because Marino's Italian Ices are gluten free so you can still enjoy this summertime treat!

For generations of New
Yorkers, it has been the poor man's taste of summer. It is a frozen
concoction that comes in a crayon-box assortment of flavors served in a
pleated paper cup, and it costs about $1. It is Italian ice, of course.
The kind made for three decades by Marino's Real Italian Ices, the
largest purveyor of the ices in the metropolitan region.
In
an era when nearly every corner deli carries a line of designer
sorbets, Marino's continues to prosper, a testament to the eternal
power of pushcart cuisine. But these days, Marino's ices are almost as
likely to be sold by a Midwestern supermarket as by a midtown street
vendor.

"Recently I told my wife to bring home lemon ice in the cups..She did,however, she brought home (a competitor). What a disappointment! I told her she made a mistake and should have brought home Marino's. She said whats the difference? It wasn't until she got to the bottom of your ice that she realized the difference. The bottom of the cup is the best part. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing!!"

"I wrote to you before to tell you how much my husband and I enjoy your italian ice. My husband is a true addict and you were kind enough to send him a shirt - thanks! Our problem is that our local food chain store doesn't sell Marinos any longer!! It's been months and we arent seeing it. We are so sad! What happened? Now we cant find them at all. - EEKKK! We have to eat (a competitor's brand) which as you know isnt even 1/4 as good! Please help! My husband is in a major depression over this - he REALLY is a freak about it. lol.. Can you explain what happened and if there is anything we can do to get it back? -- Oh, we have seen the tub of lemon, but he cant wait til it thaws to scoop it out - you ever try using a BBQ fork to get it out? Then when you put it into a bowl, it is slipperier than WD40 - Cant tell you how many times I have been hit by flyin' italian ice in bed that way while watching the news! lol
Thanks for your help, keep up the good work, and I hope to see your product in the store again!! "

" Hello, My name is B.J. and I hope you can bear with me for a moment while I recount an Italian Ice memory and current frustration shared by my 12 year old daughter. As a boy, when we had Italian Ice during the summer, a ritual was halfway through the cup to flup the ice and expose the bottom, which had most always become a crusty syrupy layer. This, there is little doubt, was probably caused by the delivery of the ice and it warming and melting significantly during the head of summer, allowing a puddle to form in the bottom of each cup, then refreezing. Now other Italian Ices brands haved seemed to become more like ice cream in cobsistency and better refrigeration makes disappoinment the norm in flipping routines passed from generation to generation. I thought from my growing up in Bergenfield, New Jersey that our local ice cream truck, "Mr Cherry" to us, carried your brand some forty-five years ago; could that be true? Thanks for your patient listening.
B.J., Wellesley, MA.
