Rita’s Italian Ice

My daughter and I went in for a sweet treat at 4:15 and come to find out it was happy hour. Our whole order was 50% off. This is a great deal with great service and delicious custard and Italian ice. They made today a little more like summer. Yummy!!!

Their ‘Italian ice’ was awful but their blendinis (think that’s the name) were decent. I would never go again.

My kids were really excited about coming here. As we got to the front of the line, we were informed that they had no custard and they only had ice cream. My kids still wanted dessert. The ice cream was expensive and nothing wonderful. I was not impressed by this place.

I thought it was good. I got peach and mango with the custard on top. My wife got the raspberry and mango. The ice texture was perfect and the custard was delicious. I didn’t like the peach as much as the other two. Good stuff overall.

I honestly don’t like leaving negative reviews but after reading a lot of good reviews and only a few bad ones I decided to try for myself. I noticed 2 things after ordering the mango/​vanilla gelati. Mango Italian ice, vanilla custard on top.
1. The «vanilla» custard had absolutely no flavor at all. It had the consistency of custard and the creamy texture but honestly, no flavor. Nothing that resembled vanilla in any way. In my opinion, if you are going to waste your calories on something as heavy as custard, it better taste good enough to be worth it! I ended up throwing most of my custard away.
2. The mango Italian ice was very good! I loved the flavor. After I dumped my custard out and just eating the mango Italian ice I thought it was yummy. If I go back it would only be to get some Italian ice and nothing else.
So the Italian ice was 4 stars, the custard was 1, I’m being kind and rounding up to 3 stars.

Probably one of the most frightening experiences of my life. Everything seemed really sketchy. It smelt like a gas station bathroom upon entry and didn’t get much better from there. The custard machine broke down as they were making my order (and it made the same sound that a roller coaster makes when it breaks down). The staff was friendly but also seemed pretty confused as to how to handle the problem as well as a semi large volume of customers, and the products were nothing to write home about and not worth the price.

Yumm! Great alternative to fro-​yo or milkshakes. These are so good, you’ll be glad you came.

This place is not great. Definitely better than shaved ice stands in every parking lot. Still though not great. I’ve been twice and gotten a gelati and custard shake. I think the custard is the way to go. Also they have terrible service teenagers behind the counter. We asked for some water and were told the only way is to buy bottled water. This place sucks.

This is a good alternative to Dairy Queen, but nothing too special. The vanilla custard tasted like someone forgot to add the vanilla flavor (maybe they really did?) and just served us imitation custard base.

Got the gelati with mango ice and passion fruit ice. Don’t think «ice» and assume flavorless ice chunks with the faint taste of the syrup that’s welled at the bottom – think «ice» as in perfectly soft ice with consistent texture and flavor throughout. The vanilla custard on the bottom and top was so perfect – rich and buttery smooth. Next time I’ll try a Misto because I liked it all blended together like it was towards the end of the cup. Highly recommend!

The gelatis (creamy custard on top and bottom with flavored ice in the middle) are excellent! Not like anything you’ll find at your typical frozen yogurt place or shaved ice stand. The custard is so creamy and delicious and they regularly have new ice flavors. They’re very rich, though, so I often just order a kid size (which only has the custard on the top).

No stars! I am so disappointed that to save money they use high fructose corn syrup (genetically modified probably). I have read that this type if sweetener not only makes ADD worse, but adds to higher obesity rates.,.

Let me start by saying that I love frozen treats. In fact, I consider frozen treats an essential staple of my diet and central to my happiness. So that being said, I’m usually not easily amused or thrilled with the thousands of frozen yogurt places that have popped up over night, nor am I easily won over with mediocre quality. This stuff is legit. The gelati is excellent, as it’s a perfect blend of ice and custard. Its also very rich, so a small order will be adequate for most people. The shakes are also excellent, as they mix the ice and custard together to create a creamy beverage of wonderful flavor. Seriously, this place is excellent. Give it a try. It’s much different than your typical run-​of-​the-​mill froyo place, and offers something unique that is also extremely delicious.

The wife and I were out on the town looking for a gelato place. I was thoroughly disappointed to discover that this place has NO gelato. What they called gelati is just a mix of custard and Italian ice.
The business seems to be built upon Italian ice, as they have more flavors of Italian ice than custard. We weren’t in the mood for Italian ice, so my wife had a chocolate custard with snickers and strawberries mixed in, and I had a chocolate milkshake made from the chocolate custard.
I’m not sure the custard was real custard or even made from any real dairy product at all. It had the flavor of a Wendy’s Frosty. The cups were small, the flavor was gross, and it ended up costing 10 bucks which we felt was way overpriced.

First off, I liked it. The prices are pretty high for custard and shakes. A kids cone is almost 3 dollars. Again, it is a good product, but I was surprised by the pricing. Heath shake was average, the straight custard is thick and good.

One of my favorite places for dessert. I like it every time. I get the gelati every time: custard, Italian ice, custard. I love the mango ice. The custard is rich and creamy. Ice… Custard… happiness!!!

This place is GREAT!
I’m a huge fan of Blizzards from Dairy Queen, but I’ll never go back now that I had the Oreo Blendini from Rita’s. My wife and I joke and call it the Gourmet Blizzard. It’s now our weekly date night treat!

Heard good things about this place from friends who had it back east but was skeptical. Mixing custard and Italian ice? Sounds like a horrible idea. But turns out that I am a fool and they were right. Quite tasty and the mix of the two just feels right as I eat the Swedish Fish Italian Ice and Vanilla Custard layered in a cup. The custard is buttery and the Italian ice is like the most flavorful slushy you have ever had. Glad they decided to come to Utah!

Try the mango gelati for your first time! It’s the most popular and so good! If you want to mix things up, try a caramel apple blending and add peanuts!!! Tastes just like a caramel apple!!! This place is a great family place, good service, and clean!

I’m no connoisseur of gelato, but this place kicks every other gelato place’s butt in the face! It’s ice gelato and I can’t seem to get over the Juicy Pear/​Passion Fruit mix.
They also have frozen custard which is super creamy. My wife’s a big fan.
SGOOD!
