My wife and I are HUGE fans of Ciao Bella ice cream, and we knew it was in Irvington, but we didn't know you could walk in and get pints.
Is this true? How much do they charge for a pint? What flavors do they have? I know they supply tons of cool flavors to restaurants but I can only find the normal flavors in SOME supermarkets (in the city). Where are they located exactly? |

I like to "walk in and get pints" myself, but usually at a pub, saloon, or bar. |

This could be their warehouse or offices..The address on 40th Street is where the old Olympic park used to be and was developed into an industial park..I doubt they sell to the public from there... |

Ya never know. Sedutto's in SI had a warehouse and I remember going with my parents. The line was wrapped around the corner!
If not and you want the stuff, I'm pretty sure NetNomads on Springfield carries it as does Here's2theArts (I think). |

Yes, H2TA also carries Ciao Bella.
I believe it's the best handmade ice cream, Gelati and Sorbets money can buy.
We went through the factory in Irvington and loved what we saw... They'll make us any flavor we want and they only use the finest ingredients in their products. It's the only ice cream we will ever carry...

You can only buy one of their big restaurant size tubs in Irvington, which might be good if you're having a party. Or get one and share - hey that's an idea!
There's a Ciao Bella Cafe in Tenafly or Demarest at 1211 Knickerbocker Rd. Their number is 201-503-0378. They only do hand-packed pints, and at $5.50 a pint, it's kind of expensive. I sometimes see pints in ShopRite at 2 for $5. |

I worked for a deli/caterer in town about 5 years ago and they would provide Ciao Bella for parties - they had some great, creative flavors like Cosmopolitan (I think it had alchohol in it?) and Chai Tea... what flavors does H2TA carry? |

I've seen a few Ciao Bella pints at Whole Foods and at Antonio's Mozzarella Factory (at Whole Foods more recently than Antonio's)--personally, I try to walk FAST past the display so as not to get tempted. ... Perhaps one of those stores can put in a special order with the vendor. |

Strings... they make dozens and dozens of flavors.
Sadly we only carry a few, but will try to pick up any flavor you want on our next order. Give us a call... |
