UPDATE: The iconic Nasto’s Ice Cream Co. is set to launch its highly anticipated second location on Saturday, November 22, 2023, after an impressive 86 years serving delicious treats in New Jersey. The grand opening will take place at the Cloverleaf Shopping Center located at 992 St. Georges Ave. in the Avenel section of Woodbridge.
Excitement is brewing as the event will feature a vibrant ribbon-cutting ceremony, alongside giveaways, live music, and complimentary samples for attendees.

Nasto’s has been a beloved staple since its founding in 1939 by Frank Sr. and Angelina Nasto in Newark’s Ironbound Section. The family-run business has evolved into a premium manufacturer of ice cream and frozen desserts, beloved by many. The new Woodbridge location promises to serve the company’s signature Italian specialties such as Spumoni, Bisque Tortoni, and the original Tartufo, alongside a variety of ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and pastries.
Gabriella Nasto, one of the fourth-generation family members, expressed her enthusiasm about joining the Woodbridge community: “We are thrilled to bring our family’s recipes and traditions to a new audience.” The cherished recipes trace back to Frank Nasto Sr.’s roots in Nocera, Italy, ensuring that customers will experience authentic flavors.
The original Newark location at 236-240 Jefferson St. features a unique viewing window where patrons can witness the ice cream-making process, adding to its charm. The Nasto family has expanded the business significantly with the support of Frank Sr.’s nine children, who have played a crucial role in its ongoing success.
As the grand opening approaches, locals are encouraged to mark their calendars for an event that promises to be both festive and delicious. Stay tuned for more updates as Nasto’s Ice Cream prepares to make a splash in Woodbridge, creating sweet memories for families and ice cream lovers alike.
This development is not just about ice cream; it symbolizes a growing family legacy dedicated to quality and community. Don’t miss out on this momentous occasion!
