Rosati has been making its water ice for more than 100 years and they've been 'Makin' it in Philly' from the start. The dessrt shop has walk-up windows for locals but the ice gets shipped around the country to more than 30 states. Rosati also has a booming business providing healthy ice treats for school lunches around the country.
