I absolutely love coming here. They havw tons of flavours of italian ice. The vanilla custard and mango italian ice is my favourite. We often get tubs of flavored Italian ice and custard to go.
They have amazing caramel ice coffee that they make with the custard. I make sure,to go several times when I'm in Erie and I always take visitors here...everyone loves it! ❤️

I stopped by Rita’s for an Italian ice, and it was the ultimate refreshment on a hot summer day. Smooth, flavorful, and perfectly chilled, every bite was so light yet satisfying. It had that perfect sweetness that leaves you wanting another, and I can’t wait to visit again.

We always loved having Rita's available and I happened to be in the area and of course I stopped for a frozen custard. I found it lacking, in flavour and it seems to have air whipped into it. Not the Rita's I remember unfortunately😕 I couldn't finish it.
