Over 45 Years of Experience and Hundreds of Years of Tradition.

John Ascrizzi comes from a long line of colorful Italian food makers. Before coming to America in the late 1800's, John’s grandfather, Giuseppe, was a baker in Southern Italy. Upon arrival in New York City, Giuseppe and his son Ferdinand opened a pasta manufacturing business in Brooklyn. When John was a boy growing up on Long Island, he worked alongside his father, making ravioli, tortellini, and other specialties. In 1974, his father sold the pasta business and moved to Florida. At age 18, John began working with his sister and brother-in-law in an ice cream franchise in Fort Pierce. He took over the store when the franchise ran out after 15 years. In 1998, he decided to sell the business and come to Maine. In 2017, John decided to incorporate the business. Since that time, he and his partners, Jaimie and Alycia, have continued to produce and serve premium, handmade ice cream to their surrounding communities while keeping the family traditions alive!

Handmade Ice Cream Unique flavors made from true ingredients.

We pride ourselves on making ice cream with low air content, giving it a dense and creamy texture. Our flavors are derived from true ingredients. We make coconut ice cream with real coconut and pistachio without the green coloring, only pistachio nuts. Making small batches from scratch gives us the flexibility to make unique flavors that aren't commercially available. We are often inspired by tastes we encounter every day. Our customers regularly enjoy such flavors as Strawberry Rhubarb, After Dinner Mint, Chocolate Orange Peel, Espresso Anise, and many more!
