Summer starts in Chicago when Mario’s Italian Lemonade opens for the season.
Barbara Gage scoops out her orange-banana combo from Mario's Italian Lemonade on Taylor Street in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood on Sept. 16, 2021. Mario's will open for the season Monday, May 1, 2023.If all goes as planned, many Chicagoans carry that sweet, slushy memory of Italian ice all through the cold winter.“I want you to remember the last lemonade you had when it was hot outside,” said Mario “Skip” DiPaolo.
“That’s the first year we actually went outside,” DiPaolo said. “For a year or two, we sold it inside my dad’s store. But then, to keep me busy when I was 6 years old, they got me a pushcart with a machine that you turned by hand. I sold it outside in front of his store where he could keep an eye on me.”“It’s just a mixture of sugar, lemons and water, made in a machine with lots of love,” DiPaolo said. “Lemonade was just a squish cup and 2 cents.
The year after that, his father put windows in, because when they closed, all the kids in the neighborhood would jump over the counter and steal the lemonade that was left.
