Grattachecca is a shaved ice originating in Rome, Italy. Commonly sold in kiosks and bars as street food, it consists of hand-shaved ice topped with various flavors of sweet syrup.[1] In contemporary times, some grattachecca vendors use a mechanical ice crusher, rather than shaving or grating the ice by hand;[2] some vendors believe that using a machine is more hygienic compared to hand shaving the ice.[2]
Alla fonte d'oro
The kiosk Alla fonte d'oro is the oldest in the city, and has served Romans and tourists since 1913.[2] The kiosk uses machine-grated ice, rather than grating it by hand.[2]
