Rita's serves up irresistible Italian ices and creamy frozen custards, with fresh daily flavors and a beloved gelati that keeps locals returning for more.
"Rita’s is a Philadelphia chain that keeps things simple by only selling two things: refreshing Italian ices and some of the best frozen custard we’ve tasted. You can also order something called a Gelati, which is a cup of Italian ice with a tall swirl of custard on top. Not only does it eliminate the issue of having to choose, but the creamy, dense custard goes hand-in-hand with tart ice flavors like lemon and cherry. Portions at this Sawtelle shop can get pretty big, so maybe pre-select a podcast to listen to before you carve away at a 12-ounce gelati on your lunch break." - kat hong, garrett snyder, arden shore, sylvio martins
"Try Italian ice flavors like green apple, Georgia peach, mango, mint chip, strawberry, or cotton candy. Their menu is always changing and ices are made fresh daily. Our favorite of their offerings though is by far their gelati, which is basically creamy frozen custard (think frozen yogurt), followed by a layer of Italian ice, followed by another layer of creamy frozen custard! They have several other creamy frozen concoctions that involve the combining of Italian ice and custard, so it’s definitely worth multiple visits." - Clever Creative
