WEST NYACK, NY – If you ask a longtime Clarkstown resident where to find the best ice cream in Rockland County, chances are they’ll point you straight to The Cone Zone in West Nyack. Owned and operated by Donna Narciso, a lifelong Rockland County resident, this classic ice cream shop has been serving up scoops of joy for over 30 years.

Known for its traditional, all-American charm, The Cone Zone offers a wide selection of ice cream, frozen yogurt, Italian glace, and ice cream cakes, making it a go-to destination for families, kids, and dessert lovers of all ages. But it’s more than just a sweet treat—it’s a cornerstone of the community.

For many in Clarkstown, The Cone Zone has been a rite of passage—a place where they had their first job, went on a first date, or celebrated a sports victory or childhood milestone. It’s this emotional connection, built over generations, that makes the shop a true local treasure.

As the Town of Clarkstown continues its revitalization project in downtown West Nyack, including a brand-new playground and various infrastructure upgrades, local officials and residents are encouraging the community to support small businesses like The Cone Zone, which have been impacted by the ongoing construction.

Once completed, the revitalization project promises to make West Nyack even more vibrant and family-friendly—but in the meantime, showing love to long-standing establishments like The Cone Zone is more important than ever.

The Cone Zone is located in the heart of West Nyack and remains open throughout the construction. Be sure to stop by for a cone, a cup, or a cake and experience a taste of Rockland County tradition.

For La Casa Di Dolce owner Jaclyn Ryan-Henry, baking is more than a business—it is a way of preserving family traditions and sharing her Italian heritage with the Rockland County community.

Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Ryan-Henry has built a loyal following through authentic Italian baked goods crafted from recipes passed down through generations, including treasured family recipes from her Nonna.

Operating from her home bakery, La Casa Di Dolce offers a wide variety of traditional Italian specialties, including Cuccidati (Italian fig cookies), biscotti di casa, crostata, struffoli, bow tie cookies, seven-layer cookies, and seven-layer cakes. Customers can also choose from an assortment of modern dessert favorites, including cupcakes, cake pops, crumb cakes, sugar cookies, cake jars, and custom-designed layer cakes.

In addition to individual orders, Ryan-Henry provides catering services, party trays, and mobile dessert bars complete with dessert table setup and décor for weddings, birthdays, showers, and other special events.

One of the bakery’s most sought-after creations is its signature viral seven-layer pignoli cookie, a unique dessert that combines the flavors of traditional seven-layer cookies and pignoli cookies into one indulgent treat. The oversized cookie features a jam-filled center, almond-rich dough, pine nuts, and a chocolate-dipped finish.

Ryan-Henry is believed to be the first baker in the Tappan area to offer the seven-layer pignoli cookie as a permanent menu item, helping the specialty dessert gain popularity among local customers and Italian pastry enthusiasts.

Due to high demand, customers are encouraged to place orders in advance, particularly for specialty and signature items.

By blending old-world recipes with modern entrepreneurship, Ryan-Henry continues to provide authentic Italian baked goods while creating a gathering place for celebrations, family traditions, and community connections throughout Rockland County.
