If you find a Rita's, please let us know. I occasionally find myself wishing there were a few in the area. But even the Rita's back east are closed this time of year.

Good luck with your search.

Um, this? Not really sure what you're looking for. Is gelato the same thing?

Thank you.

I noticed the two closest locations to us are at the Pepsi Center and Dick's Soccer Stadium, so not much chance I will patronize those stores, but I will be in Castle Rock several days next week and will stop at the store there and probably check out the one in the Springs the next time I am there.

Also, I noticed the pizza place we order from in Broomfield sells Luigi's Italian Ice. I would assume that some of the supermarkets probably carry it as well. Not exactly my first choice, but better than nothing.

I've had that Luigi's from King Soopers, tasty stuff. But hard as a rock, I usually nuke it a few seconds to soften it a tad. The stuff pictured in the op looks a lot smoother.

That's hand scooped with a flavor and texture that's hard to beat. Unfortunately most food items you find frozen from companies you like to patronize their eateries fall somewhat short. Unless it's the white castle's in some frozen food sections. Those rarely disappoint ;)

So my dad went to a Rita's the other week and he told the Italian ice was pretty repulsive.
