Bria's Italian Ice & Ice Cream, featuring fruit-flavored ices with all natural ingredients, is now open at 10106 S. Sheridan Road. The locally owned shop features Italian ice, which differs from the American snow cone in that the ice is more finely ground, and the flavorings rely on natural fruit juices or pureés.

Available flavors will change depending upon the season. At a recent visit, the choices were mango, lemon, pineapple, peach, watermelon, pineapple & cherry and tropical, described as a mixture of orange and pineapple. Single scoops are $5 and if desired can be topped with a smaller scoop of vanilla ice cream.
