Rita's Italian Ice

Story

We can't imagine a more appropriate setting for the Rita's story to begin than the sweltering hot summer of 1984. It was then that Bob Tumolo, a former Philadelphia firefighter, started selling Italian Ice from a small porch window in Bensalem, PA. Bob and his mother, Elizabeth, created their own Italian Ice recipe, which they made fresh each day and quickly perfected the flavors and consistency of the frozen treat, adding chunks of fresh fruit to some of the flavors. With the modest goal of earning a little extra income, he named the business after his wife, RITA!

Today, Rita's continues to grow, expand, and spread happiness everywhere it goes. Still made fresh every day with real fruit. Still refreshing. Still fun. Still delicious. Just like it was in the early days when Bob Tumolo and his mother opened the very first Rita's in 1984.

Rita's is proud to be a locally owned small business, and an ultimate treat destination for families. Whether you enjoy Rita's famous Italian Ice, award-winning Frozen Custard, our #1 treat Gelati, or another signature treat, we're committed to providing a dose of happiness with every visit.
Real fruit. Real fresh. No place like Rita's!

It feels like every time I come to this Rita's their prices are lowered for a large Gelati. Fast service, friendly staff, decent size parking lot with a bench to sit at. Busy area just off downtown Union & Rte 22. Closes at 10pm tho, wish they were able to stay open to 11 or 12 am. I enjoy their icee flavors but it would be nice if they had the coffee ans hazelnut flavors.
The options are delicious! Most of the staff is very friendly and patient. Although they have their own lot, depending on the day/time, parking might be tricky.
Friendly, prompt service. My favorites are the strawberry custard with sprinkles and the cherry ice.
First of all, Rita's soft serve is friggin delicious, and the girls here are not shy about portion size or loading it up with sprinkles. Sure, i just spent $7 on ice cream, but was it worth it? I think so.
i went like four days back to back and was greeted by the same beautiful smile. her name was nay and even with the ridiculous amounts of toppings i asked for she remained patient with me and kept a smile on her face. she need a raise asap
Love this location. Young ladies who work here are very pleasant!
Very good like always. They just need more staff
Love it! Friendly staff. That cotton candy custard is the truth!
