Nice guy, cute place, and Italian Ice. Just a few flavors and the ice is soft. Could use a little bit more flavoring, and there is no ice cream.

We happened to investigate this store to see what kind of bread they had and found out that they have pastry and filled pasta such as manicotti, tortellini, and ravioli. We tried the olive loaf and a desert. All is transported from Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island. The Bread and desert were both delicious. We had a coconut ice too. Will be back for more.

This was a small spot where the ordering was done outside. I had come here originally for some of their other products such as pasta and bread, but the staff offered a helping of the Italian ice, which was a nice treat. It seemed to be the owner and his family. I had a helping of the cherry Italian ice. It was pretty solid. I just did not like the few pieces of actual cherries in it, but I suppose it proves it means it was made with actual cherries. The lemon I believe was my preferred choice as I really liked the texture and flavor. Will I go back? Sure.

What a fantastic little shop 1/2 is Italian ice the other half is the food . First the Italian ice is exactly what it is, Italian ice and delicious along with a very pleasant server. Now comes the best part, on the other 1/2 is Anthony’s little food shop with real Brooklyn breads not Brooklyn style but the real thing.There are also bagels and fantastic Italian pastries but the real surprise Anthony sells Pastosa pasta products from New York, raviolis , stuffed shells, manicotti etc. My family would love going to Pastosa in the Bronx to buy the same delicious products that Anthony sells right here in Venice. You have got to give it a try.

FULL OF DELICIOUS SURPRISES ! It was hotter than it should be this time of year so I stopped in for some Italian ice at a place I heard was the bomb…but then immediately noticed that Italian ice is just the beginning here. They added an amazing bakery on the left side that has some super legit Italian bread, but also some beautiful Italian dessert items. I had to get a cannoli, which was amazing...but I decided to pick something else from the many desserts and saw one I didn't recognize and found out it was strawberry Tres leches cake. We get lots of tres leches cake in these parts but hadn't seen a strawberry one before...and wow. That thing rocked too. Anthony came out to talk and share plans for the site, which was very nice. An all around great experience. Gonna be back with the kiddos soon for sure (and without them sometimes, heh heh heh). Five stars !

Great bakery on one side and delicious Italian ice on the other. Very nice assortment of pastries like canolis, cookies, and cake slices. Their ice flavors vary, but Venice Beach flavor is very nice. I'm sure the rest are delicious too. I love the premium coffee soda they carry!
Stopped on our way home from the beach. So many yummy flavors to choose from! We recommend!!!

This is a must try place! The flavors are so intense! Everything is homemade on site and uses only fresh ingredients. Anthony let me try several samples since couldn’t decide. Don’t sleep on this hidden gem.

Make sure you get out and get some delicious Italian ice at Anthony's. It's excellent!!!!!.....Just had to update and add to my review. Not only is this amazing Italian ice, but now out of this world cannolis and baked goods next door. This will be the best canolli you have in Florida, hands down. Make sure you get and try this place out.

Amazing fresh homemade itialian ice with fresh ingredients and always refreshing creative flavors! This is the perfect dessert spot in Venice for a crisp delicious sweet treat! This is a local family run and owned business and truly wonderful kind caring owners who always go above and beyond to make all customers feel like old friends and family! They genuinely know all their customers and are always are so thoughtful! Highly suggest visiting especially after a hot beach day for a nice fresh treat with great company!
