Toscanini’s Ice Cream has been a Central Square staple for decades, and for good reason. This beloved shop is where serious ice cream lovers go when they want something bold, inventive, and consistently top-notch. Whether you’re trying their classic Salty Caramel or diving into unique picks like Cardamom or Green Tea, each flavor is thoughtfully crafted and never too sweet. The texture is silky, the cones crisp, and the portion sizes generous. The vibe inside is cool and unfussy, with fast-moving staff who keep the line moving without rushing you. There’s something comforting about the old-school setup—it’s not trying to be trendy, just good at what it does. Whether you're here for dessert, a late-night snack, or an afternoon treat, the place hits the spot. Their cookie-based flavors, like Mocha Cookie Dough, are fan favorites too. This is the kind of place you bring your out-of-town friends to impress them. A local institution that never skimps on flavor, Toscanini’s is always worth the visit, whether it’s your first or fiftieth.
