Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my experience here. There are other Rita's near my hometown that I enjoy but this was not one of them. My girlfriend's cotton candy water ice did not taste right. However, I cannot comment on other water ice flavors. I bought a Reese's Take 5 Crunch Concrete custard. When I received the dish, the quantity of custard and take 5 pieces was not adequate. I was charged over $6 for a small amount of custard in what seemed to be a small size cup. Additionally, the custard was not filled to the top of the cup and there wasn't much take 5 crunch in the mixture. Total, our bill was $10 for a small water ice and a small partially filled take 5 custard. I know Rita's is pricey, but this was overall a disappointing experience. You're better off going to the PSU creamery right down the road.

Worst place ever... I was trying to get a sugar-free Italian ice... they only had tangerine... that wasn't happening so I asked for a chocolate ice. The girl handed me a chocolate custard.. I explained that I wanted an Italian ice, she said we don't have that today... she said the flavors they had were on the sign... there were only like 6 flavors... no chocolate... no cherry.... seriously a joke. Parking lot is weird and totally sucks as well. I think they just opened and have no idea what they are doing at this location... literally go anywhere else if you can.

Great ice cream

Good ice, ritas is a good Italian ice you can't get elsewhere, it's nice they switch up flavors every few days

The new location on N. Atherton Street is great! All the staff are up-beat, friendly and helpful. The free parking behind is a welcome addition. I'm glad they offer sugar-free flavors and also love their custard!

Love love this location! The staff was super helpful/friendly as well.

Rita's water ice is a delightful cold treat on a hot summer day. Try it with the Gelato, it won't disappoint.

Had an awful experience. Went there with my husband, and I ordered one ice cream. The lady gave me a very disappointing face when I said I will order one ice cream (not two). Left very unhappy.

Great friendly service we'll be back again! Highly recommended

Horrible experience. Gave them a 20 for my misto shake, and they shorted me by 10 dollars in change. After realizing this, I politely waited in line to try to get the rest of my change. The worker yelled at me that I had only given 10 and that I was wrong. Left feeling disrespected and very upset.
