About


Zirilli’s Chilly Treats, located at 814 SW Pine Island Rd, Unit 308, Cape Coral, FL, is a family-owned dessert shop renowned for its handcrafted Italian ices, ice creams, and other sweet treats. Since opening its doors in August  2014, the shop has become a local favorite, bringing a taste of South Philly to Southwest Florida with its authentic, high quality homemade offerings.

Zirilli’s specializes in creating Italian ices and ice creams using premium ingredients, with a focus on fresh, real fruit and innovative flavor combinations. Their Italian ices, many of which are dairy-free and vegan, stand out for their vibrant flavors and chunky fruit inclusions. Think mango with actual mango pieces or cherry with whole cherries. Popular flavors include lemon, mango, cherry, cotton candy, and strawberry-lemonade. The shop also offers a coconut based vegan ice cream, catering to diverse dietary needs. Their signature item, the Gelati (not to be confused with gelato), is a layered delight combining Italian ice with creamy ice cream for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Zirilli’s Chilly Treats was born from Barbara Zirilli-Lonergan’s longing for the waterices of her South Philly hometown after moving to Cape Coral in 2008. Noticing the absence of authentic Italian ice in the area, Barbara, a former preschool teacher, and her husband, Matthew Lonergan, began dreaming of opening their own shop. The couple’s vision was bolstered by support from Barbara’s father, who saw it as a chance to live out his own entrepreneurial dreams vicariously. After taking a seminar to learn the art of making Italian ice and ice cream, they signed a lease in July 2014 and opened Zirilli’s the following month.

The shop’s early days were bittersweet. Just six weeks after opening, Barbara’s father sustained a traumatic brain injury after a fall from a ladder leaving him in a vegetative state. Days later, her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and Barbara lost both of her parents just 4 months after opening, some 15 days apart.  Despite this profound loss, Barbara and Matthew persevered, fueled by their parents’ memory and community support. Hear more about Barbara's story in the Youtube video below.
