Notarianni Ice Cream in Blackpool

Its years since our last visit and apart from the ice cream parlour side being closed the quality and service is still as good as it ever was....I think the fact it is still in essence a family business shows in the staff who despite being young seem well trained and knowledgeable ....but its the Quality of the ice cream that is the main star...just the best ingredients and you stick to Vanilla its obviously a recipe for success....Dont ever change

A visit to Blackpool isn’t complete without a visit to the Best ice cream parlour on the planet , my only wish is they would open the cafe back up so could sit down with a espresso and ice cream

A must for ice cream. Cones are massive. Selection of great toppings. Don’t settle for the riff raff and garbage found on the piers or promenade. Get along to this place just round corner from McDonalds/Joke Shop and get stuck in!!!

Still a family run establishment, and easily the best place in Blackpool for ice cream! Home made ice cream which you flavour up with masses of sauce and ingredient/toppings options. Absolutely delicious! Not the cheapest but I don’t mind paying a premium for this level of quality. Friendly efficient service. Could do with a bit of seating around it, but I can see this may not be within their control. A must visit on any Blackpool visit.

Amazing ice cream with stunning sundaes. Ice cream oyster was soooo good. Toppings make it spectacular. Banoffee sundae contained a whole banana which lets you pretend it's healthy!

Best desserts ever but the milkshake was the best and the ice cream is very delicious too but the milkshakes are the best

Whenever I’m in Blackpool will visit Notarianni every day I’m here the best makes it all worthwhile

Best ice Cream in Blackpool, tried the new dessert range loved the Tiramisu one especially, will be back there when we can

The best gelato ever fact! One flavour vanilla but when its this good you don't need anything else! If your looking for ice cream and in blackpool This is the only place you should go!

Heard loads of good things about the ice cream here and finally managed to try it for the first time today and definitely wasn’t as great as people had been making it out to be? Staff were friendly and welcoming… just thought there was something different about their ice cream to everyone else’s. Also found the prices a little high for what you got. We had 2 sundaes.

Nothing special about it had much nicer elsewhere .not much flavour .staff unhelpful and abrupt .will not return

Saw Dave Fishwick on morning TV having one of their own recipe I’ve creams, thought that looks good, better try one🍦🍦excellent

Brilliant Place, 2nd time visit at Blackpool, would visit each time I come back. The ice choices and flavours and quality is the best in Blackpool.

Quite simply the best ice cream I've tasted ! Amazing , could have quite happily went 3 times a day , however my waistline would have protested !! Brilliant ice cream & great prices too

You know when you turn up and there’s a queue you’re in for a treat… We visited for the first time and it certainly won’t be the last. Creamy, delicious vanilla icecream topped with whatever sauces/toppings your heart desires. We went all in and ordered a biscoff classic sundae but substituted toffee sauce for white chocolate sauce and added some white chocolate curls which they were more than happy to accommodate. They are very generous with all sauces/toppings that we really struggled to have it all (will be sharing one next time!) Such a lovely atmosphere here with friendly staff who clearly showcase they love what they do. Worth every single calorie!

Lovely ice cream. Decent price for the size of ice cream you get. Plenty of options to choose from. I went for the Oreo one and my friend the Biscoff one and we both really enjoyed it. Definitely the best ice cream in Blackpool.

Spotted this place by accident when at the pleasure beach for the day. As we had missed out on doughnuts we thought we’d have a sundae. We all agreed they were delicious and worth the money. Friendly service too.

Notarianni's are so great, i loved it so much i always go here and the prices are great. recommended if you love great quality food!

This place is very well known and has a long standing reputation. People rave about it, but after the visiting here 3 times over the past 12 months I literally can’t see what all the fuss is about. Bog standard ice cream and certainly nothing amazing. Average price, average portion size and average taste….Certainly not a patch on Wallings ice cream (which is sold many places on the Fylde coast. On a plus side, found the staff were polite, helpful and efficient (always a bonus nowadays) 😊

Very surprised and disappointed that on my visit the 2 litre home freezer tubs were not available , no worries I thought , although it was pointed out that I could purchase 2 x 1 litre tubs , great , then the sting in the tail was ? only if you pay for 2 x 1 litre £13.90 and not the 2 litre price £9.50 , a staggering 46% increase for the same amount of ice cream !!! When pointing this out the gentleman began the conversation by saying " if you went to Tesco " enough said I thought especially as they were busy and I had no wish to cause a problem .So I paid after all why not , I wanted the best ice cream in the Uk even if I felt it was bordering on saying even " Dick Turpin wore a mask " Hence my review scores 5 apart from service and value and I am sure I will still be a loyal customer if perhaps one who on this occasion felt slightly cheated

You can buy their topping sauces too, although not advertised. 3 pounds a bottle. Get some frozen ice cream to take away. Always go there when in Blackpool, lovely staff superb ice cream from a family business.

Uve have got to go here for an Ice Cream while you are in Blackpool, well worth the money and the Ice Cream is to die for excellent value, give it a try.

WOW!! Decided to pay a visit after watching them on The Hairy Biker's show. The ice cream was amazing!! We'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend!!

Visited here due to a recommendation. The area was a little run down, but that did not detract from the delicious range of ice creams. We ordered one plain, one with sauce and sprinkles, a chocolate milkshake and my absolute favourite - honeycomb sundae. I’m...

The ice cream made here is sublime, creamy, smooth and just a hint of vanilla. It is without doubt one of the nicest ice-creams I've ever tasted. There is also a good selection of flakes/fudge/sherbet/sprinkles etc. Even the small cone was a huge portion. We...

I absolutely LOVED this ice cream experience. I totally love ice cream and this is one of the best (if not THE best) ice cream I have ever experienced. I did not come up for air. I had an oyster and they did not scrimp...

Visited here with my partner, only serve vanilla ice cream with a decent variety of toppings, my only issue being a wasn’t blown away by the vanilla ice cream and I feel if your going to specialise in one flavour it needs to be amazing,...

We've watched the Channel 5 show "Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun" and they came here. We heard it's famous for it's traditional Vanilla flavour so we had to try it for ourselves. And, we weren't disappointed. It was FANTASTIC. You can tell why they...

When I turned up to Notarianni’s with my husband on a sunny day all I knew was everyone said how incredible it was. I am not the sort of person to ever choose vanilla ice cream so I was a little confused with there only...

Without a doubt the best ice cream I’ve had in years. Portion was amazing, no scrimping on sauces or anything within my sundae. Reasonable prices for what it is too. Would happily drive down from newcastle for it!! Will be back whenever next in Blackpool.

Don’t go off the Facebook page with its outdated glossy descriptions of offerings if you are visiting now out of season. This place was recommended to us by a Blackpool resident who has, to be fair, not lived in the town for many a year....

Was visiting from Manchester for the day and stumbled across this amazing place once again. Not been for many years. The ice-cream is in a league of its own and the milkshakes are sublime! Friendly staff too. Highly recommend if you’re in Blackpool to try...

Notarianni Ice Cream is just off the front at South shore Blackpool. They sell traditional vanilla ice creams with selection of toppings. Very generous helpings and sensibly priced at £3.00.

Not often I do reviews on ice-cream places, probably my second ever. Place is vanilla vanilla, but it's home made, Its loverly, choose my flavour sauce, nuts and fudge, Enjoyed my first one, a hour and half later, we past it again, and I got...

In August 2022, I will clock up 60 years of visiting Notarianni's Ice Cream Parlour. A "sandgrownun" - someone born in Blackpool, I remember having my fourth birthday at Notarianni's having travelled by tram, from our home just off Whitegate Drive, to the Royal Oak...

I visited Notarianni's on Wednesday 30th March 2022 and the staff were very friendly and when i came home with the 3 Candles my Late Mum's friends said the Candles smell lovely and has an ice cream smell.

No visit to Blackpool is complete without a visit to this ice cream parlour, home made Ice cream at its best, although it’s just vanilla ice cream it was delicious

Awesome ice cream. The best place in Blackpool to get your ice cream, milkshakes, sundaes etc. The weather was warm to have a double cone. Went down really well. The ice cream is freshly made, none of this scoop business. All the staff are welcoming...

What a place this is . Excellent service and the ice cream was delicious with a reasonable p We will be back. Can’t wait

A must for any person visiting Blackpool. The best ice cream you will ever taste. Great sundaes too. Generous portions. I always have an oyster. Xx

Brilliant flavours and good staff care. Enjoyed many enjoyable visits ocer the years.Makes a pleasurable visit to Blackpool much more enjoyable

Reading the other reviews it just had to be done! Went and had ice cream before seeing the illuminations. Really delicious and totally lives up to the reputation it has. Will always return when in the area.

Notarianni’s is a 4th generation, family run, ice cream parlour making a homemade Italian vanilla ice cream fresh everyday to the same secret family recipe, that has been passed down the family since 1928. Using the freshest locally sourced ingredients to form the basis of...

We don't come to Blackpool on a regular basis, but when we do we always visit this place for ice creams, various topping on one of the best vanilla ice creams ever.

Always a good ice I order the oyster with raspberry sauce as always and a cone with chocolate sprinkles and a toffee fudge

It’s hard to believe I lived in Blackpool for 20 years without knowing of this place. It is quite simply the best ice cream I have ever tasted. Say no more.

Lovely vanilla ice cream, we had Biscoff and Dime Sundaes, SO lovely! Friendly staff, highly recommended. If we hadn't watched Hairy Bikers, not sure we would've ventured into Waterloo Rd!

Thank you Hairy Bikers for their recommendation. I think it swayed a decision to go to Blackpool yesterday just to find this wonderful ice cream shop. We all had different combos of the delicious icecream all of which were amazing. We will definately be regular...

Stopped here today to grab a quick treat while walking down the promenade. We chose a chocolate milkshake. The quality was fabulous and it tasted so great. The best milkshakes in Blackpool.

Back in Blackpool again in July, after almost two years and visited these guys as had had great food/ice cream from them previously. Once again, we were not disappointed and you definitely need to get your ice cream/hot chocolates and desserts from here as they...

Visited Notarianni's multiple times on our visit to Blackpool this year, because it was just that AMAZING!! I honestly cannot recommend a visit to Notarianni's enough and greatly missed our yearly visit last year due to the pandemic. All ice creams are presented brilliantly with...

Amazing ice cream. We all enjoyed our ice creams. Always come here to have one even tho we were wet we still had one.

The portions were amazing. I had a banoffe sundae, delicious and my daughter had an eton mess sundae which was fantastic too. They only serve vanilla ice cream but the range of toppings is wide. The queue was well marked for spacing for covid.

Starting with a base of excellent vanilla ice cream you then choose what sauce and toppings to add. It's a simple formula that helps the cheerful staff serve customers quickly so even though there'll be a queue you don't have to wait long. Top tip...

According to their price list, 1 litre tub of ice-cream £5.75, 2 litre tub of ice-cream £8.25, that's a bargain. Sorry we don't have any 2 litre tubs, OK I'll have 2, 1 litre tubs, that will be £11.50. Forget it I'll just take 1...

Wow.....amazing ice cream, so glad we have found this place, fantastic ice cream and Great value. Son's small cone was huge, and our sundaes were amazing. Will definitely be back.

Have been going to Notarrianis for many many years....However I won't go again on principle.....I always have a large £4 tub, and they (if I ask) put a couple of the thin cheap wafers on.....However, they now charge 5p extra.....This is pathetic, as I never...

The gentleman on the gate at the Pleasure Beach recommended this ice cream and it was worth the 7 min walk from the theme park. We were lucky the queue was short, but it formed quickly behind us. I went for a large. It was...

Never miss a visit for this absolutely brilliant ice cream when in Blackpool, fantastic u have 2 try it 🍦🍨 hope 2 c u all soon thanx it was a treat 👍👍👍.

We paid our first visit as the Ice Cream was recommended to us. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Promptly served, good value and large portions. The Ice Cream was delicious and would highly recommend!

16 mile drive for the best ice cream. There is fundamentally nothing better in life than getting a Notarianni ice cream with blue sherbet and sitting by the beach in sunshine. One day they ran out of blue sherbet and had only red sherbet. I...

My first visit, The staff were so friendly and helpful and explained the menu, I just went for a basic waffle cone with flake, Great taste and well recommended. Hope to visit again in the future.

The staff were super smiley, even behind their masks! Service was fast, and the ice cream delicious. The small was a good size for myself, but I did see the person in front get a large and it was probably double the ice cream in...

I was recommended by some friends who live in Blackpool about this place really loved the ice cream only got a single with a flake taste very yummy and fresh would visit back again for an ice cream.

We decided on a last minute trip to Blackpool. Our friend recommended here for the ‘best ice cream he has ever had’. Well he certainly wasn’t wrong! We loved our ice cream and strawberry sundae. Lovely, traditional ice cream. Will definitely return

Even on a cold, windy Oct day the ice cream is still superb! Visited here on our last day before heading home in car it’s always a family fav. We do Yorkshire fisheries for fish tea, then tram down to Notariannis for ice cream. Good old fashioned creamy dreamy Italian ice cream! You won’t regret a visit!

On a summer's day after having a walk on the prom, just fancied an ice cream, but wanted one of higher quality with a traditional taste.So having been before, went back to this place, great values the taste of the ice cream is different than any other and unforgettable. There were queues here considering social distancing, but was well worth the wait.

Went to get my most favourite ice cream, now open at 11am to 9pm, not sure if they will stay open until January 3rd 2021 as the lights are on until then, had some to eat on the day and took a 2 litre tub for later in the week, fantastic they are now doing this, no table or seating area but you can buy most of their deserts to take away, will be back again soon, such a great place

The ice cream from here is good, I’d say a milkshake or sundae is the better choice to get! Good prices and the staff work fast!

This place has gone above and beyond constantly caring and offering their services for those working for the NHS and also the key workers of today’s society! We went today for the first time in ages and the family have really pulled through on their queuing ,social distancing measures Have been taken very seriously following all the health and safety guidelines!! The ice cream IS THE BEST IVE EVER TASTED. Customer service was excellent and can not fault anything!! Well done NOTARIANNII’s!

The most amazing ice cream ever! I’ve been a customer since before I was born! Old school soft scoop

Simply the best tasting ice creams, milkshakes and sundae’s ever. The whole family absolutely loves this place which always has us craving for more. The ice creams are huge, ingredients are fresh. The staff and service is always fast, efficient and friendly. The little eat in parlour is always very clean, lovely little place. Can get super busy in the holiday seasons and on warm days but I’ll gladly wait in line here, it’s worth it. Very Highly recommended.

If you visit Blackpool then make sure you visit Notarianni's, it's the best ice cream you will ever have. It's nestled on Waterloo road in one of many bohemian areas of Blackpool. It's definitely worth the trip, you can all sorts of combinations and there is an inside cafe too. Also there's an interesting model and retro style shop next door the kids might like.

So pleased we checked Tripadvisor before we visited Blackpool. All the 5* reviews are absolutely true. This is the best ice cream parlour in the north of England, and most likely in the UK. The owners really respect their history which is always nice. The previous generations who built it up would be very, very proud.

I have to visit this ice cream shop at least once a year!! Ice cream is Vanilla only but the taste is amazing!! You can have a variety of sundaes with sauces and chocolate bits and toffee or fruit etc.. or just on its own. My only criticism is that it’s cash only. I appreciate that it’s a traditional family run business but when I’ve been in the parlour I’ve seen so many people had to go to the cash point when they realise. Service is always quick and the parlour is very clean. I wish I lived closer to buy the tubs to take home !!!

It's 10 years since our ritual Pilgrimage to Blackpool from March to November began. In that time we've seen it all, births marriages, end of marriages, blood, sweat, tears sob sob. Luca's fur has become a beard and Maddie's eyebrows have even taken shape. We normally might protest over inconsistency but not with Notarianni who have been consistently inconsistent. They just get better year on year. They've invested in some new kit and it's smoother, tastier and more viscous than ever. I had only just got over celebrating last year's end of season November tub and they went and bettered it last week when we braved the wind and rain and faced the masses fighting for our fish n chips to end it all in Heaven with what was the best so far. If you're happy fettling year on year, we're happy to show our appreciation. Well done all of you - staff always happy to oblige - sterling job. I tell my kids they'll be rolling me to the shop in 30 years or so because I'm so in love with my Blackpool therapy. Happy holidays xxxx

Called in literally just before they closed the parlour part, 6pm, ice cream bar outside shuts at 8pm, I had plain ice cream, hubby Notti's Eton Mess, both fantastic as usual, waitress was fantastic and did not chuck us out due to the bar still being open but parlour was shut, got a major moan from our son as we did not take advantage of fetching ice cream home, they do a pack to take home, due to the age of our coolbox we did not do this, they close 3rd November for a few months, we will be back next year, as best ice cream x

Visited as usual while here on the family break and it’s just always as good as the last consistently good tasty ice cream can’t speak highly enough of it

If you love ice cream and ice cream milkshakes you have to visit this place. Excellent value and briliiant.

Always need to visit when in Blackpool. Our children love this place. Just go and enjoy it. It’s the best.

I took my friend for a treat as she had never been to this lovely we caffe all staff are really nice, you must go every time I go to Blackpool it's my treat to myself,we both had a delicious different sundae traditional brilliant Italian ice cream. Thanx again never disappointed, dont ever change a thing YUMMY.

Never previously been inside, only ever had the take-away. Pleased to say the milkshake was enjoyable, so too the coffee, and the ice-cream is still wonderful.The whole presentation was great. Lots of branding on the cups, milk bottle, even the wafers. Totally Instagrammable.As others have mentioned, it is cash only. Maybe it's antiquated or maybe it's nostalgic. It is still 100% unmissable.If this review was helpful, please be kind enough to click the button below.

It’s baffled me for years why so many people rave on about this place. I’ve tried it twice and been highly dissatisfied on both occasions. Now I’m a huge lover of ice cream - who isn’t? But I find this ice cream to be rather bland. Yes, they only do one flavour and if you want something different than their boring mediocre signature flavour you can get various topping such as Oreo, Nutella and biscoff but for the price they charge it’s really not worth it. I think a bog standard McFlurry is a very close competitor and for a fraction of the cost too. I think a big change is needed here.

Managed to sneak in just before the 6pm closing for the eat-in section. We weren’t done until nearly half 6 (there’s a lot of ice cream to eat!) but the staff weren’t trying to shove us out at all. Lovely welcome and amazing ice cream. Will be back!

Took my daughter to visit this famous Blackpool land mark In Waterloo Road, during the month of August as she visited from Australia. Watched the world go by as we had a cornet and flake. Highly recommend Notarianni’s unique taste!

With only one flavor, vanilla the variety comes with the cones and toppings. This iced cream is very icy and not creamy (if this makes sense). It’s therefore very cold and for me made me feel cold for some time. It’s worth a try though.

The ice cream quality was good but if your looking for more variety then this isn't the place for you.

Unfortunately found this on the last day of my holiday had a takeout sundae lovely ice cream with proper cream on top ( not squirty) and sauce. Would have liked to sit in another time and have a knickerbocker glory or try another combination with a drink but no time to go back. Hidden gem.

*c a s h * o n l y * (till is prehistoric!)Visited after seeing great reviews on here - definitely worth a visit! Only one flavour available - (vanilla) - but lots of different sundae options with fruit, chocolate and sauces. Big portions and beautifully presented. Biscoff sundae was lush

Lovely place Fantastic ice cream We had a sundae and a banana split both were excellent Service was good The place had an old time feel to it

Visited here with my friend and her 2 daughters, I heard all the rave reviews about this place and thought I’d give it a try, the only flavour available is vanilla and is bland and tasteless in my opinion, I’ve had better mr whippy on the promenade and far cheaper as well. My friend ordered for all of us and when I received mine it was smothered in nuts which I didn’t want or request, when I complained I was abruptly told it was my fault for not telling them I did not want any nuts on it (not sure how the staff would have reacted if I said I was allergic to them). I think this place is just living on nostalgia from the years when no other ice cream parlours existed, there are plenty of better in the area nowadays, I would not recommend to anybody oh and for the record they refused to give me another ice cream without nuts unless I bought it.

We ate inside which was quiet as there was a large queue for the take away. We had an strawberry sundae and a peach melba, they were both excellent and their slogan of any flavour as long as it is vanilla was true. Friendly efficient staff, well worth going to especially as the tram stop is nearby so convenient.

I went to visit on the hot Easter bank holiday weekend where the queues were down the street. We decided to eat inside, and we had the trio to share. The staff were friendly and we were served very quickly considering how busy it was. Lovely ice cream and toppings

Despite living in Lancashire all my life I had never heard of this place until I did a search on best ice cream and it came up in a top ten list. On the bank holiday weekend we braved Blackpool and made a beeline for the shop. We all got cones at the take out stand with flakes and various toppings. Surprised to see there is actually parking nearly enough outside if you are lucky. My ice cream felt really clean no sugar rush after finishing it. Obviously must use very good ingredients! Can recommend to young and old alike

Had always been told about this place and the great ice cream. Went inside today, yes the seating is a little cramped but hey it’s a small shop, tastefully decorates and clean and lovely memorabilia on the walls. Ordered a banana split sundae and a strawberry sundae and a child’s ice cream tub and drinks. Served promptly, they only accept cash here but that’s not an issue. Drinks arrived quickly and then our sundaes and ice cream!! Very delicious !! Ice cream is creamy and will highly recommend to all !! Queues can be long outside but it’s a popular venue !!

Where do I start was recommended to get ice cream from here. Only one flavour vanilla asked for a receipt told no receipt given wanted to pay by card told cash only. Very over rated in my opinion and definitely won't be going back. Better value if you walk the corner and go to Mcdonalds. Staff was rude and unhelpful really don't understand why this business is still trading with rude staff poor quality and above all no accountability for money taken as no till and no receipt given.

No nonsense vanilla-only ice-cream, served in a multitude of ways (we had toffee and banana sundae). The history, the quality and most of all the taste, are what make this my favourite ice-cream parlour in the UK. A little slice of heaven in Blackpool.

Always pay a visit to enjoy an Affogato whilst the children enjoy a special. The ice cream is delicious and very milky without being sickly. Service is always friendly.

While on a family break visited here 3 times its that good been coming here years only one flavour but the best Ice cream ever and great service too anything from a cone to a sundae and shake it’s the best in Blackpool by a country mile

Make sure you go. The ice cream is incredible, possibly the best I’ve ever tasted. I don’t think I even need to say any more than that
