Rita's Italian Ice

I recently visited Rita's in Pittsburgh and have been craving their frozen custard since July. Initially, I thought it was a chain on the East Coast, but was pleasantly surprised to discover there are numerous locations in the Bay Area.

Rita's had great tasting desserts. They're Gelati and custard is like soft serve with shaved ice but way more decadent! This place has great tasting deserts. This location is good. The staff is friendly and attentive. The place was actually pretty clean. And they had plenty of the flavors we saw online. The location also has plenty of parking. It's on a corner lot so you can't miss it. The flavors are amazing!!! This is a great place to get a sweet treat if you need one.

Got the gelati. It's been awhile since I've had Rita's and it's still as good as I remembered. The guy who was working was really nice. There are a couple seats outside or a table on the side you can sit at.
