Got a sweet tooth? Then you'll love this place. Angelo Brocato's has been a New Orleans tradition for over a century, and once you've been here--you're hooked.
Welcome to Angelo Brocato’s Italian Ice Cream Parlor, a New Orleans institution.
This family-owned and operated ice cream parlor has been delighting locals for over a century.
It all started with founder Angelo Brocato, who was born in Sicily and spent his adolescence apprenticing at an ice cream shop in Palermo.
He later moved to New Orleans and opened a small ice cream store on Decatur before opening a larger store in 1905 on Ursulines Street.
After Angelo died in 1946, his wife and children continued to run the family business.
The location on North Carrolton was purchased in 1978.
Today, the third generation of Brocatos proudly runs this wonderful parlor, using the same recipes that Angelo himself spent years perfecting.
One of the first products offered over a century ago was torroncino, a cinnamon-almond gelato.
Brocato’s still serves the same way it did back in 1905 and it’s just as popular as it was back then.
Along with dozens of flavors of gelato, Italian ice, cookies, cheesecakes, and assorted desserts, they have some of the best cannolis you’ve ever tasted.
You won't find a better cannoli in the city, we promise.
Deliciously crisp cannoli shells filled with their signature sweetened ricotta.
They also have a chocolate dipped cannoli which is filled with vanilla cannoli cream and dipped in semi-sweet chocolate which will satisfy any sweet tooth.
You can find Angelo Brocato’s at 214 N. Carrollton Avenue.
They’re open 6 days a week, Tuesday-Sunday.
