Carm's Beef and Italian Ice

Mario’s may get all the love in Little Italy and University Village, but there’s another delicious spot in the area with a fraction of the wait: Carm’s. Tucked in on an unassuming neighborhood corner, this Italian beef and ice spot is an old school treat that’s been serving Chicago since 1929. With 11 flavors of their homemade Italian ice (including classics like lemon and lime, as well as blue raspberry, chocolate and banana), Carm’s is sure to hit the spot.
