We were welcomed to our outside table by Ivan--un grande! He is super nice and insightful with suggestions. He answered all of our questions in Italian and in English! The food: AMAZING! We started with a couple Jameson on the rocks (generous pour) and the calamari fritti as an appetizer. Buonissima! Lightly fried served with lemon wedges over un insalata valeriana--ottimo! After we ordered the spaghetti alla vongole veraci (fresh--not frozen) and the pappardelle con gamberetti e pesto dì pistacchio--wow! Totally different and wonderful! Ivan was so accommodating and gentile. Bravi tutti quanti a Ristorante Caffè Giada!

The place looks pretty lame and probably wouldn't be the kind of bar you'd go into. But it's real vintage, and the guy who runs it, Pino, is going to be so happy you came in. He says that article has brought him a ton of business. For the granita, you've got to ask for it - it's not displayed, but kept in a freezer near the door. Pino makes just a few seasonal flavours as well as classics each day, using only natural ingredients. A good sized granita costs less than 3€.

There were a number of gelato options to choose from. I went with the Stracciatella gelato in a small cup (2.80 euro). Stracciatella is essentially chocolate chip ice cream.
