Bites Nearby: Rita's Italian Ice
Bites Nearby is a series that explores places to eat outside of Greenbelt.

Thursday's dreary day of rain made me crave one thing, Italian ice and there's no place better to get it than Rita's Italian Ice.
I had not discovered Rita's until I moved here one year ago. My favorite is to mix the mango ice with the cherry ice, although it can be a bit sweet and ice-headache worthy - not for the faint of heart. I'm also a huge fan of custard, it is much creamier and richer than ice cream and I always go for the chocolate flavor.
So check out the locations in and the newer one in for hint of spring in every bite.
