THE ONE THE ONLY

Authentic and all-natural since 1957.

For over 65 years, we’ve been making Italian water ice the right way: No high fructose corn syrup, food dyes, preservatives, stabilizers, additives, soy, gluten, nuts or eggs.

COME TRY WILMINGTON’S FAVORITE HOMEGROWN REFRESHMENT!

  • The best water ice, made the right way

    We founded Fusco’s with fresh-squeezed lemons and pure cane sugar, the way its been made in Italy for generations. Each and every cup is made with pride and integrity, because you deserve only the best.

    Now we’ve expanded our menu, adding cherry & mango water ice, homemade soft serve and homemade ice cream; all with that same authentic Fusco’s touch.

  • A healthier way to enjoy water ice

    Fresh Fruit. Real Ingredients. No Exceptions. That means you can enjoy delicious water ice without the added carbs and chemicals. Our great taste comes from fresh quality ingredients, nothing else.

Our Menu

  • 65 Years of history in a cup

    Fusco’s has been family-owned for four generations. It was founded as a shack in a storeside alley and came to become a neighborhood institution in Little Italy.

    Over 60 years ago our family perfected the water ice recipe and we haven’t changed a thing. In 1974, the Wilmington Evening Journal referred to Fusco’s as an Oasis on Union street, which keeps thirsty babies, children, hungover adults, tennis players, politicians and just about everybody supplied with the nectar of the gods. It still is.
