STRAIGHT FROM ITALY
In 1897, John Bonanza came to this country with nothing but a dream. Like many others, he wanted a better life for his family, but more importantly, John wanted to make life better for other families.
This passion for being a pillar of the community swiftly lead to the conversion of an old chicken coop, the original Bonanza Stand you see today.
Since then, Bonanza family has served the community like one of its own for over 120 years and four generations in the heart of downtown Oyster Bay, New York.
From the original lemon ice to the iconic Bonanza Dog, Bonanza’s represents the sweet generational legacy of John Bonanza, Michael, and Philip Sr.
