Visiting Fariello's truly is like stepping back in time. It's an old fashioned ice cream parlor that's managed to stay the same all these years. Plenty of candies tempt you on the way in. Often these are hard to find flavors of candies we all grew up with but no longer can find on the regular market. There are some booths to sit in or grab a seat at the counter. They serve up really good ice cream, including delicious sundaes, old fashioned ice cream sodas. and malts. Service also comes with a hearty scoop of yesteryear charm. It does cost a little more than other places, but it's really worth the extra cost.

Fariello's has the best sundae selection! Unique combinations and seasonal options are great. My favorite is the warm, bittersweet chocolate sundae! I always pair it with the Washburns chocolate peanut butter ice cream.

There is also a great selection of packaged and handmade chocolates. The truffles from Joseph Schmidt (San Francisco) are definitely worth a try.

Quaint, old fashioned atmosphere is a nice change.
