A Connecticut ice cream shop has scooped up a major honor, ranking second in the world on a new list from the food review app Beli.

Ferris Acres Creamery in Newtown was named the runner-up on Beli’s list of the top 12 ice cream and gelato shops in the world for 2026.

Beli says the rankings are based on more than 140 million ratings from users who log restaurants, share photos and leave notes about their experiences.

Ferris Acres finished behind Cremeria Santo Stefano in Bologna, Italy. The Connecticut creamery was also named Beli’s top ice cream shop in the United States earlier this year.

Ferris Acres opened in 2003 and operates on a family-owned farm in Newtown. It is currently closed for the season and is expected to reopen in May.
