Repicci’s Italian Ice was born when Dominic Francesco Repicci brought his family’s Old World Italian ice recipes from Italy to South Philadelphia.
So many people dearly loved the taste of the secret Italian ice recipes that Dominic’s grandson, Frank, opened a manufacturing plant in and founded the Repicci’s Italian Ice company in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1998.
