Vecchitto's Italian Ice, nestled in Old Lyme, CT, has been a cherished establishment run by the Vecchitto family for generations. Situated at 80 Hartford Avenue in the picturesque Sound View Beach area, this gem has been delighting patrons with their delectable Italian Ices and frozen treats since 1946. The shop follows a unique schedule, welcoming visitors exclusively on weekends from Memorial Day weekend through June, and then switching to a daily operation from noon until 9 pm until late August, bidding adieu to summer on Labor Day.

Conveniently offering a handful of complimentary 30-minute parking spots right in front of the store, Vecchitto's ensures a hassle-free visit for its guests.
