Awards and Accolades


“Toscanini's, on Mass. Ave. across from Harvard Yard, is regarded by lactophiles as the best ice cream in the world.”
“The flavor combination at Toscanini's is mind-boggling. Cardamom or Cake Batter ice cream, anyone? How about Cucumber Sorbet? No matter what oddities may spring from the imagination of the confectioner Gus Rancatore, one flavor is almost always on the menu, and it is guaranteed to bring us to our knees: Burnt Caramel.”



Toscanini's has been recommended by Bon Appetit , and our vanilla was found to be the best in the US by People Magazine .
