A family owned place…
To call this place “old school” is a misnomer for sure. Vecchitto’s is a classic! They have been in this location and family owned since 1930…that’s 89 years.
On one hand the establishment doesn’t look like it has had an update in years but in the short time we were there five families with lots of bubbly kids came and went. It was quaint and charming for a Saturday night.
I tried their raspberry Italian ice, which was tasty and delicious but not the least bit sweet, which I found very refreshing. Their most popular flavors are lemon and watermelon.
Maureen had chocolate almond gelati which was was a scoop of almond and a scoop of chocolate with crushed almonds and maraschino cherries in between. I must say the chocolate gelato is the best chocolate product I have had on this “knights of the roundtable” quest.
Both Italian ice and gelato are made fresh, on the premises every morning. And they have two trucks that are available for special occasions.
For a refreshing treat, try Vecchitto’s in Middletown.
