Nasto’s “Old World Desserts”
A Newark Tradition
Since its inception in 1939:
Nasto's Ice Cream Co., founded by Frank Sr. and Angelina, has evolved from a quaint neighborhood mom-and-pop shop into a leading manufacturer of premium ice cream and frozen dessert specialties. Our menu boasts authentic Italian specialties such as Spumoni, Bisque Tortoni, and the original Tartufo, along with a complete line of Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, and Italian Ices, all rooted in recipes from Frank Sr.'s hometown of Nocera, Italy.
The Storefront
Situated in a historic corner storefront in Newark, NJ's vibrant Ironbound Section, our origins trace back to a space once occupied by a brewery. Nasto's made its mark by introducing an ice cream batch machine right in the front window, allowing passersby to marvel at the creation of homemade ice cream and Italian style ices. We invite you to visit Nasto's in Newark, NJ, to discover why our premium ice cream and frozen dessert specialties have been beloved for generations. Let our products speak for themselves and experience the taste of tradition and quality at Nasto's Old World Desserts.

With a robust family foundation, including nine children who contributed to the business, Nasto's rapidly expanded under the guidance of Al and Frank Jr., Frank Sr.'s eldest sons. Now in the hands of the third generation, Nasto's Old World Desserts continues to embrace both tradition and innovation.
