10. Rita's Italian Ice
Reviewed By LoveToTravel061203
rita's is expensive. we go on occasion and when we do, we find the ices to be great. my husband always get ice cream and has never been disappointed. I like everything they have in mango flavor. I don't like their location because it's right off a parking lot and there are limited seats and benches but they're good for an occasional treat. the staff is nice.

Wanting to try out a new pizza place we drove by and found this new place across from McD on Dutch Neck Road. This has now become our go to place on Fridays. As we get the pizza on occasion, we always get their calzones ! They are unbelievably delicious and so well made. They are large and when we first ordered the medium thinking it was enough for one person, well we were mistaken, b/c 2 people can more than share it. The large calzones were enormous and far from missing any ingredients. They are full of mozzarella, ricotta and any of their many fillings that they offer. We also ordered their buffalo wings, the only problem is what sauce to get, at last count I think there were 10. Slowly but surely we are trying out a little of everything on their very extensive menu. The food we have eaten so far has definitely made us go back time and time again. The food is also freshly prepared upon ordering. They have a small eating area if you choose to eat on the premises. There is also parking since they are located a few doors down from the 7-11.

First let me say that the food is very good and very fresh--but this is really a take-out place with just a few stools and a small counter, so you can eat a slice while you wait. We read the reviews and thought we were headed to a sit-down restaurant, so we were a little disappointed to discover no table service--and no restrooms. We had a very good eggplant parm on fresh bread, but it was a hot day and it was a little uncomfortable because even if they did have the AC on, it couldn't compete with 90-degree temperature and a couple of pizza ovens.

Bring a sweater it was very cold inside. Bring a bottle a BYOB. Bring an appetite... huge portions of pretty good Italian food. Good bread with dipping oil I add parmesan cheese to enhance it.A big menu with a lot of variety. Soup or salad comes with your entree. Flounder franchise was a tad rich for one person, the cavatelli with broccoli was a hit and linguine with clam sauce was tasty. Would return.

Chicken Parm pizza, was very dry and hard whereas Eggplant Parm was salty, less cheese and bread chewy. Most of all, their menu on flyer had different price vs the bill. Saw this after reaching home. Called thinking it could be just an oversight so they dont charge other customers incorrectly. Whoever answered was rude that I called after reaching home. I didn't even ask for credit as it was a small dfference.

Ambitious menu for the location but the food is outstanding and the prices fair for what you receive. Friendly and attentive service. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Meatball appetizer and foccacia appetizer highly recommended; chicken dishes excellent as are the catch of the day entrees.

A group of us had dinner but I am only writing about a very limited number of items. Reading the menu, the descriptions of the entrees are really quite plain, almost nothing out of the ordinary. The only different description was for the shrimp cocktail so I ordered it. Five shrimp that were ok and a sauce made up of tomatillo, jalapeno, and pureed avocado, etc. The dish came with a tablespoon, no fork. I guess one is supposed to eat the sauce as if it were a soup. Considering the ingredients, not a good idea. In this case, they should have stuck with regular, plain cocktail sauce. My wife and I each ordered the crab cake entree - came with mashed potatoes and an assortment of vegetables. The potatoes and veggies were ok but the crab cake was the worst I have ever tasted. I like crab cakes, have had them many times and even make them myself but this patty (see photo) was pure mush and not very tasty. As the place filled up (largely an older crowd on a Saturday night), it became so noisy that one could only hear the person to the immediate right or left. Waiter was apparently unable to bring additional water and would reach in front of one person to serve the next person at the table. Not the place for us.
