To go even more traditional than gelato, cross to the Trastevere side over the bridge from Tiber Island. There, in warm weather only, along a bend in the busy Lungotevere degli Anguillara boulevard, is parked one of Rome's last remaining granita carts.
This is where they still hand-shave giant blocks of ice into a cup and pour sugary flavored syrups on top—the original "Italian Ice," and ancient precursor to gelato.
