Nana’s is a multi-generational family business that has become a local staple in Narragansett.
Nana's Ice Cream was founded in 1985 at Narragansett Beach by the Wright Family.
In 2006, the Mann Family purchased Nana’s.
Who is Nana?
At the helm is mom and Nana, Dianne Mann. She retired from crazy corporate world after a 30 year career in finance. Scooping cones sounded like a fun retirement gig but little did she know that running one of the most popular beach shops would be madness.
In 2009, Nana’s expanded to Galilee, where the Block Island Ferry tourists frequented.
In 2011, Dianne added Nana's Candy Bar with walls of nostalgic candy, saltwater taffy and fudge located right next door to Nana's Ice Cream at Narragansett Beach.
Great variety of candy. They don't have a selection of fudge and chocolates in display case like they used to. No chocolate Carmel pecans or cashews. We still enjoy going and filling our buckets with taffy, sweedish fish, and many, many more goodies. Traditional stop on our vacation.
Good gelato. Open till 11pm. Only place around. Parking is confusing but spaces are available. Six chairs to sit outside face parking lot. $7 two scoops of gelato. Waffle bowl $1.25. $8.25 for two scoops and waffle bowl. Scoops were good size. Fast service. Young friendly staff. Pistachio light flavor. Cannoli flavor initially good light also. Nutella flavor a must. Espresso more maple than espresso. Should be stronger.
The best gelato around for miles! We went four times in four days! The expresso crunch, tiramisu, cannoli, Nana's kisses, cookies and cream and peanut butter chocolate were all terrific! Great job Nana! Don't miss out!
We're from Worcester Massachusetts and go all over New England for ice cream. This was a very special place,, the whole family loved this place!! We chose Nana's over Ben& Jerry's and we were not disappointed. We will be back when in the area. I feel so bad because I didn't tip... Nice Tip Nextime!! I promise 😂
It sucks and they lie about what the ice cream is and never ever get peanut butter cookie dough becuase instead of villanelle as the ice cream around the peanut butter and cookie dough they put chocolate and it just makes the ice cream taste horrible 0/10 also cost a but ton
