We stop at Rita's after we play at the park. They have a huge variety of flavors. Gellati's are my favorite because it combines soft serve custard with the flavored ice.

It would be nice to have a little more seating as there is always a crowd but parking is plentiful which is good.

This is a great summertime treat! The flavor choices are endless and I have loved every one that I have tried. My favorite is the blueberry. My kids love it too. Be aware that it is only open seasonally.

This is the one and only place my kids want to go for a treat. They absolutely love the gelati!
We really rack up the free custard with their customer cards.
Too bad they aren't open all year long. :(

Rita's is a great family treat. My personal favorite is the gelatti...vanilla custard and italian ice parfait of sorts. Rita's is also very active in giving back to the local community which is very admirable. A must try!

Nothing like Rita's on a hot day. This is an outdoor stand. There are benches to siton , but no tables. People wait in line for Rita's in all kinds of weather. (As a courtesy, they COULD cover the waiting area.) Their products are basically two -- Italian ice made from real fruit, and frozen custard -- like a really rich ice cream. These come in many flavors and you can get them layered (called a "gilati") or mixed (called a "misto"). They have a frequent buyer card plan, which is a real must to make you feel like you are spending less. Most items are about $3.
