Toscanini's

In January 2018, another location opened near Kendall Square at 159 First St while the Main St. store underwent renovations.

In 2006, owner Gus Rancatore published an Amazon Short with author Helen Epstein, entitled Ice Cream Man: 25 Years at Toscanini's,[8][9] presenting a personal story of how Toscanini's came to be.

On January 17, 2008, the business was seized by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue because of failure to pay more than $167,000 in taxes dating back to 2000.

Ice cream maker Samuel Mehr set up a website with a PayPal donation link,[10] and an overwhelming amount of support from the local community and beyond provided the owners with more than $30,000 toward satisfying the tax bill.

After being closed for eight days, Toscanini's Ice Cream and Coffee Shop re-opened for business on January 25.
