Luigis has a lemon Italian ice that is very refreshing on hot summer days. I don’t like lemon usua,ly, but the italIan Ice is actusl.y quite nice tasting.
Luigi’s sure brings back refreshing memories. I didn’t know the brand was still around. I looked up the website — Luigi’s got started in 1978.
That fit with my recollection of the general timeframe for the new treat coming to town.
It stood out way back then such that I even remembered the name to this day, even as a zillion brands, names, and ideas have come and gone.
My husband (Italian descent) loved Italian ices - I bought them all the time for him. Also love lemon ice on a hot day.
My daughter recently bought some kind of electronic contraption that makes ices so I may have to look into that to get rid of a massive lemon crop I have this year (we’ve had lots of rain). Either that or make lemoncello...
