Rita’s Italian Ice

Go here! The ice flavors are yummy snd the texture of the ice is perfect. It melts in your mouth.
The custard is thick and perfect as well. They serve the custard in the ice if u want. Custard on bottom, ice and more custard on top.
They have a drive-​through.
The best dessert in Vegas!

Seriously. Go. Eat all the ices. Especially the cantaloupe. So amazing. The staff was extremely nice.

I enjoy Rita’s, it is right down the street and always yummy. I do think they should adjust the prices until they get their custard back. Regular ice cream is not worth that price.

On a hot, triple digit, typical Las Vegas summer day, going to Rita’s for their pinacolada Italian ice is a must. Their flavoring is not overly sweet which would just make you crave for more :-) It even has spontaneous hints of the pineapple fruit!

Was visiting from out of town and it was really good! The staff was awesome and very helpful and informative. I would gladly come back again! We don’t have anything like this in the Bay Area!

I would give this place a 3.7. The custard and toppings are delicious. However, I like my custard thick. I feel like the custard was more like soft serve ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still great! It’s good enough for me to come back for my custard fix, since I boycotted luv it custard. BTW, the staff here are way friendlier too! The lady that helped us, explained the menu to us noobs, which I appreciated.

Nice treat now that its warming up. Sugar free made is made with splenda. They could use a sugar free cusdard to to with it.

Yum! Love the Italian ice, just like I had growing up on Long Island. We had chocolate, mango and strawberry.

I love this place! I grew up on Italian ice or as we call it in Philly «water ice». It’s nice to see a Rita’s out on the Westcoast! Even better, it’s open all year round! On the east coast it’s only open during spring, summer, and the random heat waves that strike in the middle of fall or winter! Anyways, the staff here are very friendly and I always start up a conversation with them! The best flavor combo in the whole world is Mango and Cherry… I don’t care what anyone says lol. The Mistos and Bellinis are good too, I always get creative with those lol. There are multiple locations here in LV, but this one is my favorite!

Super friendly owner, great product. Much better than the major chains. I’ll definitely be stopping by again as it gets hotter outside.
Can’t wait to try new flavored, the custard is super creamy and the ice is made with real fruit.

great stuff. happy stuff. stuff made from rainbows and childhood dreams. :)

Ended up trying this place out after a friend who previously lived in Vegas was raving about the Bay Area location she went to. Right after having lunch with her, she said we have to try it out. This place lived up to the hype! I can’t believe I’ve been passing their multiple Vegas locations without giving them a chance. The two workers here last Sunday afternoon were super helpful and put up with explaining how everything worked twice and letting us sample the different kinds of Italian ice they had available for that day. I ended up going with a Gelati (a mix of their custard on the bottom, Italian ice in the middle, and more custard on the top for good measure). I chose the piña colada Italian ice with vanilla gelati. I’ve never had a dole whip before, but I’m hoping it tastes as good as this gelati did. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying their different flavors. Plus, they have a drive-​thru at this location! It made me really happy to see so many different people going in and out of this place — so many Vegas businesses have been closing lately. There are two tables outside, which was perfect for sitting out on the not quite scorching Vegas day. The cashier also told us they’re going to be 200 California locations, so you Bay Area people tripping out when temps hit high 80’s have something to cool yourself off with: P

Just like we used to have back in Philadelphia! I had a PB&J and chocolate gelato and the PB&J was pretty awesome.
Only drawback, we wish they had soft pretzels.

I have a new favorite obsession — Rita’s is the perfect summer treat. I’m especially fond of the gelati, which is a cup with a layer of custard, a layer of ice, and topped with more custard.
The ice flavors change pretty frequently, but all of them have been super fresh and tasty. The mango and pineapple are great, but my favorite is the black cherry — full of chunks of real cherries. It’s perfect with the rich and creamy chocolate custard.
The only problem with Rita’s is how close it is to my house — dangerous for my waistline and my wallet.

I’ve passed by this shop maybe a million times and it’s finally gotten hot enough for me to justify a visit.
This place sells custard, blended drinks and custard/​ice blends. Prices are steep. I got a regular soft serve mix (vanilla & chocolate) in a waffle cone. It cost $ 4.58. Flavor was good, very rich. Waffle cones have a $.60 up charge.
Rather than have a loyalty card, they have a loyalty app. Each time you buy something you get to can their QC code for a punch. 7 punches gets you a free cone I believe. I didn’t have time to download the app so I missed out. Oh well.
***Thursdays are triple punch day. Buy 1 item, get 3 loyalty punches.***
While tasty, for the price (they have much more expensive items like sundaes and blended drinks) I’d rather just go to Yogurtland and get lots of fancy toppings.

Rita’s hits the SPOT!
Words can’t express how happy I am to have found this Rita’s!!! I thought it was only on the north side of town but here it is, thanks to Unilocal!It’s hidden so keep a look out.
I’ve had Rita’s two times before and they were only because I was in the area. Now that I am new to Unilocal,I was able to find a custard place right by my area.
Every time I’ve gone to Rita’s I’ve always stumbled upon friendly service. They let you sample any flavors! The frozen custard is either vanilla, chocolate, light vanilla, strawberry, or swirled. I tried the Italian ice. Italian ice is really yummy in a Gelati. The bottom of the cup gets your choice of custard, flavored Italian ice (you can even mix them), and then topped ontop is more swirl of custard! I like getting fruity flavors for the Italian ice. I was sad they didn’t have my usual, cherry. But I tried the pineapple and the lemonade and they were both super delicious! Not too sweet! The island flavor was a pretty weird taste. I recommend getting a Gelati!
You can even get an all custard or half Italian ice/​custard blendini. This is close to a mcflurry, but better and thicker! You can add toppings or just so plain custard. My boyfriend ordered the peanut butter one which was suggested by the employee. He really enjoyed it. My friend also got vanilla all custard with Oreos. He said he would rather just eat the custard on his own because he’s not a toppings kind of person.
The portions for the price is very reasonable. And will leave your tummy very satisfied. I didn’t wanna finish it, it was all too good! We all finished our desserts to the very bottom. Definitely will be back here more often in the future. Wish they had a punch card or something! I’d fill a bunch of those up.

I’ve been a fan of Rita’s while growing up on the east coast and were happy when they came to LV. I live near the one in Henderson and work close to this location. The better factor of this location is the drive thru. I was able to get my Swedish Fish today without out getting out of my car. Yes, lazy of me but convenient!,

Clean is my first thought when I enter Rita’s from their store front all the way to their bathrooms. Now onto the gelato and ices. I love their root beer ice and deem it the only flavor worthy of my attention. If there isn’t any root beer I go home.
Rita’s has a frequent visit app and they’ll send notifications to your phone when there are double point days. My daughter likes the Swedish fish ice with a bit of gelato on top or the plain old chocolate soft serve. She isn’t picky and luckily Rita’s has a large stock pile of napkins because we need them afterwards. I love this place and will be a frequent resident during the Summer.

I have tried Rita’s on exactly two occasions before they opened one closer to my side of town. I was so excited that this location opened up and the cherry on top is that they have a drive thru, making my dessert runs that much more convenient.
I have only tried their Italian ices, but they have many rotating flavors, including some sugar free options. This is a great new location and I plan on making good use of it when the summer rolls around.

To Rita,
It’s been awhile hasn’t it? The last time I saw you was on Stephanie street. I still remember the way you used to touch my lips. Happiness.
It hasn’t changed. I realized how much I needed you in my life.
I walked into your grand opening, you were just like I remembered you. Filled with happy customers and a staff armed with smiles.
I took a cup of your mango ice with vanilla custard. Heaven.
I’ll be back again.
