Our History
Founded in 2005 by Tom Moretti. Mrs. Vera's Italian Ice was created as part of a loving tribute to Tom's Grandma Vera Moretti. Tom's heart forever holds the loving memories of walking in the park or along the beach, holding his Grandma's hand while eating Ice créme, Gelato, and other Italian treats. Tom now enjoys spoiling his own Grandkids and the lasting memories and lessons of Grandma Vera. Grandma Vera told Tom to bring smiles to people and give them a lasting memory.
