The owners and staff are very friendly and the store is well kept and clean. I loved the drawings up on the wall by children that visit. It gives a nice family touch. Would highly recommend the 5 layered Gelati with mango and blue raspberry with vanilla custard. Absolutely delicious!

I LOVED getting Rita’s when I was a kid and was SO sad when the old location closed because I’ve never found anything to replicate the frozen custard. I’m very happy that we have a new location now and I like to stop by once in a while after a super long day of work as a small reward for myself. Thanks Rita’s! :)

The italian ice is delicious. There are a lot of flavors to choose from. The Italian with gellato is highly recommended. We also got concretes which we enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Never returning ! My daughter ordered a large by mistake I asked could I get a small and they refund the difference. The guy told me he can’t he doesn’t know how??? Okay whatever! I said just give me a small cup it was for my toddler literally didn’t need a large. I get not even two seconds to the car and it’s a piece of hair right on top blended in the custard! let’s just say I was denied a refund and got a small just for it to have a hair! Threw it out ! First and LAST time. Had I not been in a rush to a family event I would’ve pushed for a refund at that point t because that’s nasty ! Check your cups people!!

My first time being there, and I was not disappointed. Great staff, polite and courteous. My 5 layer gelati was outstanding. So many combinations to choose from. Will definitely be going back.
