Their unusuals are the best! On paper, they sound a little questionable, but they are one of my favorite desserts, hands down. All of my coworkers love them too and theyve been getting them for years. If your in the area and have a sweet tooth, definitely stop by and check them out.
I remember coming to Zammutos in theate 80s and early 90s as a kid and would always get their granitas or Italian Ice for those of you not familiar. Going there today brought back so many wonderful memories. Even though the original owners are no long serving the community, the great tradition of Zammutos lives on!!
This was my first time here and it was quite an experience. You never know who you might see here but I tell you what I know for certain: The Unusual is one of the best treats in Rockford. I dont exactly know what Granita is, but it tastes like rich, sweet, fruity Italian ice and when you layer that in with some creamy soft serve, youve got a dangerous pair.
Everyone in Rockford loves Zammutos. Its a great place to take the family for ice cream. Not only is it delicious, but their ice cream is lactose and gluten free, making it healthy. The most popular item on the menu, the unusual is a combination of flavored ice, and ice cream, and its a must try. The workers are very kind, and serve people with greatness. I would highly recommend going to the world famous Zammutos if youre on the south side of Rockford.
Delicious sweet treats and hot food. Try the unusual with cherry granita and lemon ice cream. Mind blown. This place is the real deal, if you get lemon granita you will find lemon seeds occasionally because it’s HOMEMADE delicious authentic lemon granita. My grandpa Gaziano grew up on Ferguson street in the 1930’s and came here as a child. So stop in and have a bite of Rockford’s real Italian history.
I give them average rating for over all experience, the granitas are 5 stars, the ice cream as well, but the wings are not good I repeat not good, they seem like they are microwaved, and the sauce just dumped in there not toss or anything, I would never get the wings ever ever ever, I mean normally wings take about 15 mins to cook not 5 mins, so please dont the wings from there.

2022-06-29CASH ONLY!!That lemon cherry unusual is undefeated. I grabbed one before i headed back to Milwaukee and shared with my children. They loved it. Of course nothing like this is in Milwaukee. They cant wait to return and try other flavor combinations. Delicious all my life. Literally. Since middle school

2019-07-04My family and I have been going here since the late 1980s... probably before that too. All I know is that nobody can make a granita the way Zammutos does! The unusual with Lemon ice cream on top of a granita is beyond delicious! I look forward to next visit here!

2022-04-12Every summer since I was a kid we went to Zammutos. Besides when I moved away. But I tried the food a while later in my life but I was not disappointed at all. I love being able to take my kids. A quiet tradition. We sit out at the tables and enjoy our unusuals or granitas. When I think of Zammutos, I think of my family. ❤️🥰❤️ Ill forever be a customer.

2021-04-25Good ice cream but the lady that took my order was extremely rude and had a mean tone so I end up calling her out. turns out she was the owner and I didnt end up getting my ice cream. I believe they can do better. God bless!! and if you see this hope things get better because you did have an aditude. Do better!!
