I love, love, love soft serve ice cream but I'd never eaten a frozen custard before. I'm not sure custard will ever replace ice cream in my personal pantheon, but I am definitely going to be a repeat customer at Rita's.
My wife and I tried an italian ice and a vanilla custard with sprinkles. Both were great but the custard was too rich on its own.
I can't say enough good things about the italian ice. It was smooth and not too sweet--just perfect. The portions were very generous.
Next time I am going to get a gelati--cherry ice, and vanilla custard. I saw someone order that and it was just gorgeous.
