Ludovico Barbati buys a vacant property on 86th Street to make spumoni and Italian ice
In 1938 Ludovico Barbati, who came from Torella dei Lombardi, Italy, in 1917, was selling spumoni and Italian ice off a horse-drawn wagon. The next year he bought a vacant property on 86th Street to make them. By the mid-1950s it had grown into L&B Spumoni Gardens, where a spumoni factory, a pizzeria and a luncheonette shared the property, and it is now known mainly for Sicilian pizza and ices.
