Mario's Italian Lemonade Reviews
this isn't the ice I grew up on. everything change. it wasn't clumpy, taste was good but the ice was off. it's not what it use to be. very watery and seems like it's no longer hand made. my boys are now old enough where I was excited to bring them and I think I'll just bring then to Johnny's unfortunately.
Best in the city!!! Hands down!!!
Great tasting, rapid service and always pleasant.
Menu
Mario's Italian Lemonade is a popular spot that has been delighting customers for many years. It offers a great Italian ice experience with a wide selection of flavors, including grape, lychee, and watermelon, which are not overly sweet. The shaved ice is especially refreshing on a hot day, and the portions are generous. The restaurant has a kid-friendly atmosphere and convenient street parking, making it a good place for families. During busy times, there can be a long line, but the quick service helps move customers through quickly. Visitors enjoy the fresh fruit and the tasty Italian lemonade that has little bits of rind in it, adding to the experience. The lively neighborhood, busy street, and the line itself are part of the charm. The friendly staff and welcoming ambiance make it a cherished local spot, perfect for enjoying Italian ice with family or friends. The last day for the season is September 14, and visiting during slightly cooler weather can help avoid the busiest times when the line can reach the end of the block. Overall, Mario’s Italian Lemonade remains a Chicagoan treasure and a top choice for a fun, classic treat.
