Mario’s Italian Lemonade closes for the season Sunday, signaling the end of summer.

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 closes for the season on Sept. 19, 2021.“I like closing on a nice hot day,” said Mario “Skip” DiPaolo, 77. He co-owns the iconic Italian ice stand in the historic Little Italy neighborhood with his wife and three children. “I want you to remember the last lemonade you had when it was hot outside.

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. I’ve been going since high school at St. Ignatius, a block away by an old shortcut. Back then, we bypassed the legendary Italian beef at Al’s Beef, across the street from Mario’s, for terrible pizza at now-closed student hangout Papa Charlie’s nearby. At least we knew enough to get Italian ice, and the smart kids mixed at least two flavors.

A lemon stamp is seen on the sidewalk outside of Mario's Italian Lemonade in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood.
