Morrone's Water Ice

Dessert$

People have been lining up at 63d and Race for handmade, scooped-with-a-smile handmade water ice from Morrone’s since 1925. The secret, says owner Steven Caporaletti, is texture. “Some people make it soupy… Thing is, it can’t be too hard or too soft. Ours is just right.”
