My dear Ritas, our love affair began about 7 years ago during the hot summer in Mentor, Ohio. Your store popped up along Mentor Ave. and not knowing what "ice" was, I stopped for a cool treat and my socks were officially knocked off. The Gelati as you call it became my obsession and I consumed no less than 100 Gelatis that summer. I introduced everyone I knew/worked with to your delicious iciness in a cup and they all fell in love.
The love affair continues today even though I drive over an hour and a half round trip (yes, you read that right) to enjoy your creamy, icy, heaven.
I highly recommend the Gelati which is your choice of ice flavor and your choice of chocolate, vanilla or twist custard. I can all but guarantee this custard will be the best you've ever had. It is *the* custard of the gods, unbelievably creamy and almost doesn't melt because of the creaminess. The ice flavors rotate daily, I have tried nearly all of them and notta one would I not try again. They also have a Blendini, their version of a DQ blizzard but using that amazing custard I mentioned which brings it to the next level and a Misto which is ice, custard and your choice of mixins blended together.
Some favorite combinations of mine:
Green apple ice with caramel layered at the bottom, middle and on top with chopped peanuts, tastes just like a caramel apple with peanuts
Swedish fish Gelati with vanilla custard
Mango and Vanilla custard Misto with Nerds
You can thank me later or not because you will want to eat Rita's daily, don't say I didn't warn you!
