Philadelphia is famous for two things: cheese steaks and “water ice.” Rita’s, one of the most popular purveyors of Italian ices in Philadelphia, comes to Minnesota for the first time. It’s all about the ice here with a dozen or more flavors made with real fruit.

The lunch special was surprisingly filling and good with chicken strips. They still have creme de menthe - my childhood favorite! - Amy Jarrell
