The establishment offered a delightful array of frozen treats that were visually appealing. The staff members were incredibly patient and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. Every flavor sampled was exceptionally creamy and bursting with authentic tastes. It's truly a perfect destination for anyone seeking a sweet indulgence on a warm day. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful spot for a memorable dessert experience.

Great little place for a sweet treat of Italian Ice or Frozen Custard. Limited parking but it wasn't a problem when we stopped by. Plenty of options, flavors, and toppings. We got a sunday and a concrete (custard mixed with toppings, like a DQ blizzard) which were great. Service was great and friendly. Will go back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kate B · Jul 2024

What a fun location! The man working was super nice and lets us sample because we were between flavors. The Italian ice and custard were both fresh and assembled great. They even have games outside for you to play while you eat. Go ahead, get the large. You know you want to. Will be back!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Wilson Echevarria II · Oct 2018

There is a nice place to sit in front. There are benches on the other side of the parking area. The iced custard here tastes good and the prices are very affordable. The people that work here are very nice and helpful. In my opinion there is not much difference between this custard and regular real ice cream. It's a nice place to experience at least once though.

New Haven Ave., Melbourne, FL, 32901 0 Stars (Chain restaurant review) ***SWILL ALERT*** Since visiting Whit's Custard (see that review), I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to try other custard offerings elsewhere. Rita's Italian Ice & Custard popped up on the random name generator, and with eager anticipation, I rushed over. Founded in 1984 by former Philadelphia firefighter Bob Tumolo, with a recipe from his mother, Rita's Italian Ice & Custard now boasts over 530 locations in 31 states, mainly in the Mid-Atlantic region of the country. One would think that with this many franchises, they would be, if not good, at least worth the money. Alas, this was not the case at this location.
