Looking for Italian ice like this in the metro area.

Needing a taste of home
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.
Tell me about it. The closest i've found is this stuff carried @ K, Soopers.Quote:

I can get ring dings, devil dogs, yoodles send 3 day mail. Italian ice hand scooped from a place in Brooklyn, not happening.
Um, this? Not really sure what you're looking for. Is gelato the same thing?

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 ;)Quote:
