Old-School Italian Roots, Fresh Jersey Energy
Woodbridge just got a little sweeter! Nasto’s Ice Cream, the beloved Italian-style ice cream shop with deep roots in New Jersey, has officially opened its newest location right in town with new owners Victoria and Gabriella Nasto and locals are already lining up. As a family-owned business, Nasto’s has built its reputation on tradition and the Woodbridge shop marks a special milestone as the daughters of the family open their own location. Continuing the legacy in a new space. Known for blending old-world recipes with bold, modern flavors, Nasto’s brings a sense of nostalgia that feels both comforting and exciting, especially for anyone who grew up loving classic Italian desserts. The Woodbridge location officially opened on November 22, 2025, and has already made a strong impression on the community.
First Impressions: Cozy, Classic, and Crave-Worthy
From the moment you walk in, the shop feels welcoming. The space balances old-school charm with a clean, modern look, making it perfect for quick stops or lingering dessert dates. The display case is the real showstopper, vibrant gelatos, creamy ice creams and traditional Italian treats such as the fan favorite tartufos. The wide selection makes choosing just one flavor nearly impossible. Whether you’re a longtime Nasto’s fan or visiting for the first time, the atmosphere makes you want to come back.
Flavors That Steal the Spotlight
Nasto’s doesn’t just rely on sweetness, it’s all about balance and quality. The Italian rainbow cookie ice cream has quickly become a fan favorite, and for good reason. Instead of just mimicking the flavor, Nasto’s adds actual rainbow cookie pieces directly into the ice cream. Giving every bite real texture and that classic almond, chocolate and raspberry combination. Lauren Walsh states, “Best Italian rainbow cookie I’ve tried,” and after tasting the chunks of real cookie throughout, it’s easy to see why.
Gelato lovers won’t feel left out either. The honey fig gelato stands out with its smooth texture and subtle sweetness, offering something a little more refined than your typical scoop. Marcia Cardoso says, “I will definitely be going back for their honey fig gelato,” a sentiment echoed by many who appreciate a flavor that feels both unique and comforting.
More Than Just Ice Cream
What makes Nasto’s special is its commitment to tradition. This isn’t trendy-for-the-sake-of-trendy dessert, it’s carefully crafted ice cream rooted in Italian technique. The flavors feel intentional, the textures are spot-on, and the quality shines through. Whether you’re ordering a cone, a cup, or taking something home for later.
A New Go-To Dessert Spot
Nasto’s Ice Cream is officially a becoming neighborhood favorite. Open daily from 12 PM to 10 PM, it’s the kind of place you stop by after dinner or treat yourself on a random afternoon. Customers are encouraged to follow Nasto’s on social media platforms. Like their Instagram and TikTok to stay updated on new flavors, specials of each month and behind-the-scenes moments. If first impressions are any indication, this new Woodbridge location is here to stay, and your dessert routine may be an ice cream before bed every night.
