Rita’s Italian Ice

** I accidentally posted this for the wrong location lol **I’ve seen this place ever since it’s opened, but never had it in me to go in. Yesterday I was feeling a little adventurous and decided to check it out. I walked in and was instantly greeted and and if I’d like to try any samples. I decided to try a sample of Swedish fish, Florida orange and the root beer ice, which were all really good. They had about 16 different flavors of ice and only vanilla, chocolate or twist for the custard. He recommended the Gelati which is ice and custard mixed throughout the cup and more custard on top. So I got the Gelati with vanilla custard, Swedish fish and Florida orange. It was delicious! Very sweet though. I really enjoyed my first time here and will for sure be returning to try the other flavors. The only thing I would change is the interior. There are no tables to sit and enjoy this sweet treat. I ended up going back to my car and eating it there. All in all though. I love you Rita! :)

Rita, I’m so glad that you keep finding a way into my life. We first met in New York and then you followed me to Ohio. Once again you found me in Texas. Sadly you didn’t follow me to Washington and I missed you. We were meant to be though. You showed up down the street from me when I moved to Las Vegas and for that I am thankful.
Rita’s is a little different from a typical ice cream or frozen yogurt shop. The main items here are Italian ice and custard. The Italian ices come in a variety of flavors with the flavor selection varying each day. Custards come in vanilla or chocolate.
My favorite items are Mistos and Gelatis. Mistos are basically a shake of custard and ice. Gelatis are a bottom layer of custard, a large layer of ice, and then topped with a custard swirl. Delicious!
The people working always offer samples and I would suggest taking them up on it. I love all of the ices, but tasting will help prioritize flavors to try. For those that come regularly I would also recommend downloading their app to work toward freebies.

This was my first time at Rita’s and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. We were at Hobby Lobby and when by boyfriend noticed it across the parking lot he wanted to stop in.
I am not a huge sweets eater, so I shared with him rather than ordering a separate Italian ice. We got a gelatti, which was key lime ice topped with vanilla custard (you choose the flavors). It was good and was meant to taste like key lime pie.
The only downside is that it’s a very small shop and there is nowhere to sit. There are 2 small benches outside, but I really wish there were tables. Oh well, it won’t stop me from going back, but I also won’t be going out of my way.

The chocolate custard is super good. I mixed with the birthday cake ice and as the lady who works there was right they do go well together. The ice cream is so thick and creamy.
They always have different flavors each day so if they have mango on a monday Tuesday will be gone.
The price is okish but still delicious

so kinda disappointed with Rita’s. I Love pumpkin Italian ice. They advertise it in the e-​mails etc they send out. I drive out of my way and they never have it. You would think they would have this flavor every day since it is a seasonal flavor. Disappointed that when I asked the girl working there when it would be available that week, she said she didn’t know. I do love this place, but am finding myself going there less and less. If you have a favorite flavor, you are gonna be disappointed, as they change the flavors daily and do not carry the seasonal flavors daily.

The ice reminds me of back home in NY when i was a kid and buying those ices from the little man with the cart. That is totally a huge compliment! When i get a urge for a really good icey, this is where i go! Love it!

We have been here 5 times already and each time has been awesome. They will give you samples to help you make a decision on a flavor. This is the perfect treat when you want something sweet but not too sweet. They change the flavors everyday.

Yum! Rita’s was a really delicious treat on a hot summer day. I got pineapple ice with vanilla soft serve (which is different than any other soft serve I’ve had — it’s really fluffy!) while the husband tried birthday cake ice with chocolate soft serve. The young man working the counter immediately offered samples when we walked in, which I took advantage of before making my flavor choice. We will definitely be back to try more!

Went yesterday 8−9−15 around 2PM. This store is located on Stephanie St. between galleria drive and sunset. There is no indoor seating. You can sit on a bench outside the front door or eat your treats elsewhere.
I got a gelati, which is a cup with custard in the bottom, italian ice in the middle, and more custard on top. I got the smallest size (regular) which was $ 4.10. I got strawberry-​watermelon ice and it was amazing… probably the best flavor I’ve ever had there. There were small pieces of watermelon in it. Their custard is just heavenly… so thick and decadent!
There’s a sign on the wall that says «due to an egg shortage, Rita’s will be transitioning to soft serve» or something to that effect. I hope it tastes the same as their custard.

I have recently discovered Rita’s Italian Ice– and this is one of my new favorite things!
I tried the Gelati… cotton candy Italian ice layered with vanilla custard– SO YUMMY!

Omg, yum! Got the rootbeer with vanilla ice cream, so delicious! There is nowhere to sit inside but there are a few benches outside. Employees were very friendly and helpful. Two thumbs up!

Yum yum Yummmy!!! My favorite flavor is back!!! ITs the Cantaloupe Ice. the best part of this ice is that there are little chunks of fresh cantaloupe!!! My favorite i havent seen this for 2 years and i just happen to stumble in and be suprised. The whole time i was in here i was thinking that im so glad that mcdonalds ran out of ice cream because i wouldve had a mcflurry instead. So this is my favorite flavor here period. Its only for a limited time and i know that i will definitely stop by real soon again. And of course i get the Gelati with vanilla custard which here it has a real velvety texture and still has a fluffy feel to it… so freaking good!!! especially in this vegas heat.YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Come get one if you like cantaloupe you wont regret it.

We’re repeat customers here! This time we had the Birthday Cake ice dessert. Gosh that went down really fast! Must try other flavors real soon!

Great service! Cheap prices. GREAT DESSERT! I would totally recommend anyone to go there.

I don’t give 5 stars freely,
But man… This place was great!
The parking, location, and the service was great!
The dessert was excellent! Even had a military discount!
Very happy

Never had this before and no regrets of trying it out. i had twist custard on top and bottom with birthday cake at the middle. Sooo good it ruined my diet.
The young kid there was polite and explained to us their product since its our first time.
The only problem is they dont have tables only 2 benches outside
I will definitely come back

This is my jam! I first discovered Rita’s when I lived in Jersey. They call it water ice. It has actual fruit chunks in it. They have tons of flavors and they are always changing them out. I love the wild black cherry & red sour patch gelati. That’s when you get water ice and custard. It’s on point!
I remember the first day I saw the sign up stating they were putting a Rita’s right across the way from the Ross we frequent and I literally screamed like an 10 year old girl at a 1990 NKOTB concert. That’s how much I loved Rita’s on the east coast. I use to go to them in Philly & Jersey and they were just sooo bomb on those hot summer days. I waited patiently for months until the day of the «Now Open» sign being raised and was there to get my first west coast Rita’s which I must say they did not miss a beat. It’s just as delicious! Thank you Rita’s for bring me a slice of east coast into my west coast world.

They have lots of flavors to choose from and you can always count on finding something you like. My choice of flavor today was Island Fusion. The flavors remind me cantelope? A very tropical flavor. All of them are pretty sweet, but not too sickening sweet. I can tolerate up to a regular size. The consistency is pretty smooth and icy brain kinda freeze cold!
Can you get sugar free… yes.
Is it guilt free… I’m not too sure… I’ve been on a counting calories kick lately and a regular size Gelati w/​custard will set you back 400 calories.(via myFitnessPal) But who’s counting?
It’s just take n go, no seating area except for the two benches out in front and it’s crazy busy with the line going outside the door during the warm weather season. Don’t let that deter you though. The wait wasn’t long at all and their friendly staff didn’t miss a beat when it came time to help us.

Unilocal pretty much says it. AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Rita’s fills the craving if you want a slurpee, ice cream, a milkshake, any dessert! I was so happy when they first came to Vegas. I am a HUGE Italian Ice fan, and my other half likes the custard. Here you can choose to blend the 2 together and create a misto. I really love the black cherry ice.
The owner, Mr. Dobbs, is such a sweet man. He truly teaches his team the meaning of good customer service. I have never once went into Rita’s and had a bad experience. As a matter of fact, they are the type of employees that go out of their way to make you happy, even if it means sampling 5 flavors.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on some coupons and let me just tell you, every single one will be going to use!

Woooooooo! My friend who is from Boston put this on me and I’ve been hooked since. Especially since it’s UBER hot that this hits the spot.
I got the strawberry Italian ice with vanilla gelato and LOVE how the texture of the ice reminded me of Otter Pops… I love otter pops!
The gelato on top didn’t do it for me but, I’ll most def be back for the Italian ices.
Lines here are sometimes cray and the workers seem unhappy but, the ice makes up for it for me.
