Fruitylicious Italian ice at Nick's in Westmont


Strawberry Italian ice

Looking for something light, sweet and icy cold this weekend? Nick’s in Westmont has just the dessert for you. It’s strawberrylicious. It’s Italian ice. This fruity dessert beckons you at $1.50, and that $1.50 takes you a long way. Instead of a single, scanty scoop of Italian ice that you’ll find elsewhere, you will receive humongous portions packed inside a Styrofoam bowl wrapped in foil. That’s how they serve their Italian ice—big, bold and beautiful.

At Nick’s you find a small-scale establishment meant for a quick in and out. The dessert options, such as Italian ice, are exceedingly delicious. Their tiramisu at $2.95 or fried dough at $2.50 may also catch your fancy. You may choose dine at their counter or you can find ample dining space outside on their patio, which is great for the warm, dog days of summer.

Nick’s is a local Italian eatery that serves pizza by the slice and gyros, but its Italian ice takes the cake. Their Italian ice comes in three flavors: lemon, strawberry and watermelon. You can order a small for $1.50, a large for $2.50 or a quart for $3.95. As Nick’s puts it, their Italian ice is served “Taylor Street Style.” And, with one spoonful of strawberry Italian ice, that will quickly become your style, too!
