Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

My wife and I are very happy with Rita's. We only discovered them about 2 months ago and it is a go to now for us and the kids.

This place is great. Fun atmosphere. Definitely different choices of dessert. You can definitely tell a difference between soft serve custard and soft serve dq. I love that everything feels mom and pop.

I was really excited to try this place after seeing all of the reviews. We ordered a twist custard with sprinkles and a vanilla custard with carmel sauce.

The custard was slightly sweet but lacked any real flavor. It was hard to distinguish between the chocolate and vanilla. The caramel sauce was just generic corn syrup. The custard falls far short of many other places we've tried.

I am tempted to come again and sample the ices.

Both Italian ice and frozen custard are amazing. Love the mixture of them together. Nice friendly staff. They have a few small tables inside and two outside. Very small place. We were scrunched up against the wall with the people who were waiting in line boxing us in. But, we were glad to see it's busy.
They have a child's size, you have to ask for it as it is not listed on the menu. Last time I didnt ask and got the regular size for my 5 year old, she could barely eat 1/4 of it so we saved it for later in our freezer. Great treat for a hot summer day!

Delicious new dessert place in Northwest Reno! The Misto was amazing. It's a mixture of their custard with your choice of Italian ice. We had 4 of their flavors and each was amazing. The service was quick and the prices were reasonable.
