Instead of saying “I wanna go to Friendly’s,” more and more people are now saying “I wanna go to Rita’s!” Despite Rita’s not being a restaurant as Friendly’s is, its Italian water ice and frozen custard still attract just as much of a crowd. Since local Rita’s locations have opened on the first day of spring about a month and a half ago, many Padua students have been making frequent trips after school, after sports practices or games, or over the weekends with friends or family. Rita’s currently offers Italian ice, frozen custard, gelati’s, misto’s, blendini’s, cream ice, slenderita, and of course, classic milkshakes. Their promise of “Ice. Custard. Happiness.” is something simple and straightforward, but one they said they work hard to make good on every day, in every location, and with every guest.

“I think Rita’s is a great way to cool off after any summer day with friends,” says senior Stephanie Annone. “I like Rita’s because it’s very tasty and refreshing,” agrees senior Hayley Wilson.

Senior Blair Ellis brings up the point about it not only being a place for tasty custard and water ice, but a good place for a first job as well. “It’s good pay, and they’re pretty flexible with hours.  I can also take off 25 days out of the whole season, and I can usually opt to “preference off” certain days as much as I want!”

Whether you’re looking for a place to get some water ice on a hot day this spring, or maybe even a place to work, Rita’s promises all customers ice, custard, and happiness!
