Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

Great spot to stop in and cool down on a hot day!! The Italian Ice is delicious and they have several custard options available as well! We look forward to our next time returning

Went to Rita’s yesterday and my son ordered a caramel milkshake and realized after that he wanted to add cookies to it. The lady in the red shirt( sorry I didn’t get your name) remade it for him and added a little extra for him to enjoy. You made his day thank you!!! See you next year.

Cute little parlor to stop at! The guy was super friendly and let our girls try as many samples as they wanted. He was very helpful and quick. Got us in and out! The place was really clean which I appreciated. They have a ton of flavors to choose from and different kinds of treats. You can choose Italian Ice, frozen custard and soft serve ice cream. You can have it straight ice, straight frozen custard, straight soft serve or make it into a milkshake, blendini, concrete with candy pieces and more! They have several toppings you can add on top of anything you choose. We highly recommend anyone try this place if you are looking for a sweet treat especially on a hot day!

What a cute little shop. The guy behind the counter was super kind and friendly. He let our family sample just about anything we wanted. The gelato and custard were delicious too!

Best custard and ice ever. We uses to eat here in Galveston TX and we're so excited to find one in Gulf Shores. Fresh ice flavors, good variety of custards. Gotta have the gelati- mango ice with vanilla custard is amazing. Prices a bit steep but typical for custard.

Yes please ! We tried the custards and the ice several times this week ! Yum ! The cotton candy ice and tropical and vanilla were all good I think someone in our group at least tried them all . So delicious highly recommend for a nightly treat

We came here for dessert after dinner one night during our anniversary getaway! We came in and were the only ones, and got treated like the most important people! The 2 employees working were so passionate and informative on everything and fixed us some amazing treats! Definitely plan to go back!

Such a cute place to go! We saw the alligator and the gelati was amazing! Definitely recommend if traveling and want a fun place to go at night! There is a space to eat outdoors and it is such a vibe!

Great place for a treat after a day at the beach. Little overpriced but that’s pretty much to be expected. This is the Reese’s Cup Mudslide concrete with chocolate custard. Reese’s cups, Reese’s pieces and caramel sauce. Definitely hit the spot!

Pretty cool little place to get something refreshing and sweet. Quick service and delicious flavors.

Veteran owned and operated. Cones, shakes and sundaes! Had a good experience here, custom custard flavors and nice outdoor seating.

Rita’s was not our first choice for a sweet treat tonight but after searching town and everything being packed we decided to give it a try! Man were we pleasantly surprised. The lady working gave us all the samples we wanted to try and explained what all they had available to us! The five of us all found something different and everyone loved what they chose. Highly recommend!!

We go there every year for some Fantastic ice cream!! Andrew was serving us and he was alone and he was Incredible!!! He definitely needed at least 2 more people. The line was so long and he just kept serving all of us with a smile. Whoever the owner is.. Andrew deserves a raise!! But you do need more people serving.. he shouldn’t have to take on that many people. Go Andrew!!!!!

Love their Italian ice and custard! We come every year!
Difficult parking situation though. Small lot with about 8 spaces. Saw a lot of people leave because they couldn't park. I know they can't help it, just hate to see them lose business.

Super yummy and friendly. Sampled several flavors. Frozen custard machine was down so they swapped it for vanilla. I liked it even better!

Wonderful experience with our kids! They were very cheerful while serving us. They were patient with our kids. They encouraged us to try as many flavors as we wanted. The frozen treats were delicious and overall it was an excellent time. I recommend the shaved iced with the custard on top!

We sampled almost every flavor and had a hard time choosing because everything was delicious! My daughters went for gelatis, which consisted of layers of frozen custard and Italian ice. The owner or salesperson was sweet and friendly.

First time visiting Rita’s and it was delicious! The two young men working were SO helpful! As soon as we arrived Maddux asked if it was our first time here and when we replied yes, he gathered us around the coolers and explained what each item was… and said we could taste whatever we wanted. Great service, delicious custard and Italian ice. Will return if we are ever in this area again! Great job guys 😊 👍🏼

The Italian ice and custard are so delicious but the husband and wife who work here are even better. Highly recommend stopping in so you can experience their joy and get a yummy treat from them.

Awesome customer service! Owner/manager was wonderful. We feel like she is a friend. She catered to our choices by making the flavors we requested for a return visit. Overall they carried many flavors of both custard and Italian water ice. Highly recommend this location over others in the Gulf Shores area.
