Annette's Italian Ice

Wheelchair accessibility: Outside dining only, patio available during warmer months.

This neighborhood gem is worth the wait in line and the extra step you may need to take to ensure you have cash to pay the bill! I really appreciate the quality of ice cream / Italian ice, and accompaniments. The other ice cream places in the area do not compare. If you have ever worked in a food retailer, you know how much work goes into getting everything ready and available. You try to take care of the customers quickly, so you can work on the behind-the-scenes tasks before the next rush. The owner is the best because she is efficient and knowledgeable about the products. My husband has one request, which is to have Sea Turtle ice cream on the menu every year. Oh, our dog Dunston leads us here all summer long for a frozen Pup Cup.

If you are in Lincoln Park, you HAVE to try Annette's, lots of options for dietary restrictions, plus the owner is so wonderful

Cash only

Came here cuz I rly wanted shaved ice and this was not shaved ice but turns out Italian ice is even better. Long line so u have plenty of time to pick flavors(I was having a hard time). I got a small w peach and passion fruit. Peach has peach in it!!! It was rly pleasant I was expecting overwhelming flavor but it was so nice and smooth wow

This is the best ice cream in Chicago
