Still going strong after over 80 years in this working-class neighbourhood, the Chiosco Testaccio has the unusual selling point of being painted a different colour each year. Push past the lounging local youth for hand-grated ice; the unusual flavours are as varied as the outside paint job is colourful; tamarind and limoncocco (lemon-coconut) are specialities.
