Rita's Italian Ice

[LadyyRedd]

I love this stuff!!!! They have a new flavor this year....Sweet Tea. It's not really that sweet, but oh so yummy. I got it in a gelati with vanilla custard.

What's your favorite? My all time favorite is blueberry.

I prefer the sour flavors to the sweet flavors. I'll take a lemon ice anytime, or a sour apple.

I like the cherry. And I usually get it mixed with the custard.

I've never tried Rita's. My husband has and he likes Mango.

Black Cherry is my fav...I just tried strawberry/kiwi a week or so ago and that was good as well.

I swear, both my kids are Rita's babies. I had both my kids within 24 hours of consuming a Rita's ice. I love the cappucino cream, but my favorite is wildberry.

Thanks for the suggestions and recommendations. They just opened one of these at Potomac Mills which is very close to my house. I've walked by it several times and haven't known what to get.

If any babies start coming out of me, Jesus and the Virgin Mary better be appearing nearby soon!

Be sure to get one of the "frequent flyer" cards. Buy 10 regular gelatis, get one free.

I don't eat it, but my kids love the strawberry.

Haven't tried it yet, but heard the cake batter flavor was good.

Have never seen that one and it's not on their website. Maybe it's an exclusive to your local one?

Cake batter ritas???? That just doesn't sound right.....

We are pretty much a Mango family here....except my oldest likes Mint choc chip

 

[suzimar57]

i prefer the rita's frozen custard in coffee flavor...

 

[shortbun]

mmmmmm Passionfruit

It's all about the lemon for me.

When we lived in our old house, the local Rita's always had lemon and cherry. The ones around here change all the flavors every day. GRRR! It really becomes hit or miss, mostly miss for me.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

My favorite is Pina Colada.

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

Mmmm Rita's! My favorites are strawberry and cherry. DF likes mango (as does my mom). I have liked pretty much every single flavor I've tried. I loved the raspberry lemonade flavor, too.

Hmmm I think I need a Rita's stop soon!

 

[Jerseylicious]

LOVE the new cake batter flavor! woo hoo

And going to try the Ritaccino VERY soon! Mmmm......

I got my freebie today thanks to buying 10 before today!(helps having 4 children) Favorite is a raspberry gelati- but today I had to have strawberry as that was what was available. My son LOVES the Mango.
We have not seen cake batter? But I am all over that Ritachino next time.

My favourite ice flavours are cookies-n-cream and vanilla chip. I enjoy both of those in a Misto with vanilla custard, and I also enjoy vanilla ice and vanilla custard in a Misto.

My dad's favourite flavours are mango, cookies-n-cream, berry banana, lemon, green apple, island fusion, and banana. My mom's favourite flavours are blueberry, raspberry, banana, pina colada, coconut cream, and island fusion.

This is my favourite Blendini mix: vanilla custard, cookies-n-cream ice, and Oreo pieces. It's also pretty good with vanilla chip ice.

I used to work at Rita's! Here are some tidbits that may be interesting for you folks. Island Fusion is a mix of coconut, passionfruit, and mango flavours. Vanilla, cookies-n-cream, and vanilla chip are all different recipies, not just the same base vanilla flavour with Oreos or chocolate chips mixed in. There are only four sugar-free flavours: cherry, tangerine, root beer, and pink lemonade. This year's new flavours are birthday cake, sweet tea, Georgia peach, and keylime. Flavours are sometimes discontinued (lime and bubblegum). Any other questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer.
