| - Don't let the silly name fool you; this place has some serious frozen treats. We've all had our fair share of sno-cones and Italian ice. Ice chips doused with sugary syrup, often settling at the bottom. In my opinion, these frozen desserts suck.
Rita's reinvents the sno-cone. It's like Baskin Robbins but with flavored ice instead of ice cream. No ice chips here! The frozen ice is crushed so fine that it's like sherbet, complete with each flavor mixed in. There are close to fourteen flavors of Italian ice to choose from, two of which are sugar-free.
Did I mention the have some PHENOMENAL custard?! It's thick, rich and decadent. Rita's keeps the custard simple: chocolate or vanilla and also "Slenderita" versions too.
The best part about Rita's is what they do with these two components. Yes, you can have the Italian ice or custard by themselves, but I highly recommend trying one of their unique creations.
The Misto blends Italian ice and frozen custard together to create a decadent shake. Take this to the next level with a Blendini: custard, Italian ice and your favorite "mix-ins"--almost like a Dairy Queen Blizzard, but more flavorful (and highly customizable).
Order the Gelati to get the best of both worlds; it's like a parfait of happiness: custard, Italian ice, topped with custard. I had the vanilla custard, mango Italian ice, topped with a dollop of vanilla custard. The best part was when I reached the bottom--the custard had just began to melt, creating a sinful combination of creamy mango goodness.
As soon as I began consuming my treat I was a happy, happy girl. I guess that's why they call it Rita's Ice Custard Happiness.
