What’s on the Menu?

Rita’s is known for its smooth, refreshing Italian ice, made fresh daily in a variety of fun and fruity flavors like Mango, Cherry, Cotton Candy, and Swedish Fish. But the treats don’t stop there! If you’re in the mood for something extra indulgent, try their signature Gelati, which layers rich, creamy frozen custard with Italian ice for the perfect balance of smooth and sweet. 🍧🍦

Other favorites on the menu include:
🍦 Frozen Custard – Velvety smooth and available in vanilla, chocolate, or twist
🍪 Concrete – A super-thick frozen custard blended with your favorite mix-ins
🥤 Milkshakes & Blendinis – Creamy, dreamy sippable treats
🌈 Misto Shakes – A delicious blend of Italian ice and custard for the best of both worlds
