There's nothing quite like a nice cold refreshing Italian ice on a warm desert summer's eve.\n\nRita's reminds me of going to those family owned pizza joints when I was a child. After we were done with our pizza my parents would allow me to choose an Italian ice for dessert on our way out.\n\nUpon arrival I was happy to find out that on the first day of spring each year each Rita's location offers a free small ice! The friendly staff then informed me I was welcome to taste any flavor of my choosing. I asked for a sample of the Starburst Candy Cherry. When the frozen ice hit my tongue it immediately sent shivers down my spine. After I recovered, I realized that the ice tasted just like the candy I used to love when I was younger! I was sold. I asked for my free small cup and walked out with a smile on my face and my newly acquired frozen treasure in hand.\n\nI will definitely be back to try some of the other items they have for sale such as the custards or cream ices!
