Best ice cream ever!! Interesting flavors that are hard to find. Not too sweet. Wish there was more seating for individual groups rather than big ones to be shared.

Came to Toscanini's on one of the hottest day's of the summer - ultimately satisfied and wished I had another day to try more flavors. Toscanini's has 2 locations, each with different rotating flavors. This one on First Street advertised a Spicy BBQ flavor, and I just had to go try it. The inside is very spacious with light wood walls and concrete flooring - very industrial/home-improvement-big-box-warehouse vibes. At the counter were several teens/young 20-somethings chatting amongst themselves. We were helped shortly after perusing the huge list of flavors. Whoever helped us allowed us to try a bunch of flavors. We tried: - Spicy BBQ - SUPER spicy, be forewarned. Definitely an interesting flavor, but personally could not handle an entire scoop of it. - Tahini - strong sesame flavor, but also a little plain We ended up ordering: - B3 - browned butter, caramely notes. This is their signature flavor. - Orange dark chocolate - although I didn't detect any orange, this was still a yummy chocolate flavor - French vanilla - basic for the SO's plain taste buds - Salty caramel - SO's go-to is caramel so this was a no-brainer for him Checking the website's flavor menu now, I really wished I was there to try their Miso Peanut Butter! Will definitely have to return if we're ever here in Boston!

Omgosh! Bella and Jameson were so helpful letting us try different flavors and trying different things everything was so unique and tasted so good! Even matcha, Belgian chocolate and Passionfruit caramel was so yummy & surprisingly I don't even like caramel because it's usually too sweet, but this place makes it just the right amount of sweetness and flavor! Excellent best yummy ice cream shop out here in the Boston area!

I visited Toscanini's for the first time on Saturday afternoon around 3 pm. There was thankfully no line and the staff was ready to help us with our orders. They allow for samples and I was able to try the Banana Fluff (just tasted like frozen bananas) before settling on a small cup of both Burnt Caramel and Orange Creamsicle. The Burnt Caramel was the stronger of the two flavors, almost tasting a bit like coffee. The Orange Creamsicle had a brightness that you don't usually get in an ice cream. There was plenty of open seating both inside and outside the store. There is also two single stall bathrooms available in the hallway behind the cashier. It was a nice touch that they had water cups available next to a water dispenser on one of the counters. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and hope to visit again soon. Note that they do add free sprinkles to any ice cream order!

I've made it my personal mission to try as many ice cream places as possible in the Cambridge/Somerville area and a bunch of people had recommended Toscanini's. We came on the Monday of a long weekend; Kendall Square was a ghost town. Even so, Toscanini's had some busy foot traffic. I went with the grapenut raisin and cookies and cream. The grapenut had some intense cereal taste, possibly the best rendition of this flavor I've had. Same with the strawberry that my husband got. It was such a concentrated hit of strawberry with a nice pale pinkish color. Three samples per customer. A bench outside and some seating inside, including a massive table facing their kitchen, where you get to watch someone assemble their ice cream cakes. Their flavor menu has so many creative options, including goat cheese brownie, burnt honey gojuchang, kulfi. You can't go wrong either being a little boring or trying something more adventurous.

Love Toscanini's! I've been here a lot in the past (and sorry no photo - I ate all the ice cream before I remembered to take a photo). They have so many unique flavors and each time I come back there's a new flavor on their menu that I need to try. Today it was the goat cheese honey walnut ice cream. If you're bold and like goat cheese, this flavor was so good! Other flavors I love: green tea (matcha), early grey, pistachio

The quality of the ice cream is really good. They have quite a few unique flavors, which I have not come across in other ice cream joints. The flavors.are quite rich. One of the best ice cream I have had.

So good! We got the milo, malt cookies and cream, and I forgot the name of it but it was like a vanilla base with grape nuts. The shop had a few tables and had a modern look. The people at the counter were really nice and answered all our questions. You were allowed to taste test. The malt cookies and cream was my favorite! It had oreo cookies that created different texture to the ice cream. The milk was good but I felt it was average since it was basically chocolate. The grape nut one was better than I thought it was gonna be.

Their Goat cheese and Earl grey ice cream is delicious. A little bit on the sweeter side but nice and creamy. I would say they have a big space but not as much seating. I'm assuming that's because they wanted to leave room for when there is a line of people. One of the better ice cream spots in the Boston area.

Heard really good reviews about this place. So came here at night on 4th of July to celebrate after fireworks. Really fresh and creamy ice cream. I really loved it for sure. Had to get that B3! Such Large brownie bits in, It was beautiful! And such a beautiful combination with that whole brown butter and brown sugar thing going on. Definitely could have finished three scoops of this! Cookie dough ice cream was nice as well.
