I used to frequent the Rita's at Fairfax and loved that there was so much variety when it came to Italian ice flavors. Once the Alexandria Rita's opened, I was very excited to see what their daily flavors were. However, it seems that this location always sticks to the same 5-8 basic ice flavors to the point that I find going to this Rita's disappointing because I know there will not be any unique ice or cream ice flavors. This Rita's would have so much more success if their Italian ice flavors had just as many different daily options as the Fairfax location.

Staff was great! Had heard so much about Rita’s (including the Doughboys podcast), had to visit while I was in town! I ordered the lemon ice with custard. An absolute dream
