A Trip To This Italian Ice Cream Parlor Is Practically A New Orleans Tradition

If you've got a sweet tooth, then you've got to make your way over to this historic Italian ice cream parlor. They've been delighting locals and tourists for over a century, and after one bite you'll see why. From cannolis to cappuccino, they do it all. Let's check it out.

Located on North Carrollton, Angelo Brocato’s has been a landmark for desserts since 1905.

While they may have changed locations over the years, one thing remains the same: their authentic family recipes that are passed down from generation to generation.

When you step up to the counter, you’ll be overwhelmed with all the options. The shelves are filled with incredible sweet treats like cannoli, biscotti, pastries, and more.

Go with a group and get a few different things so you can sample it all.

Their cannolis are legendary. Everything about these Sicilian treats is homemade, from the shells to the ricotta cheese filling. They’re stuffed fresh to order so you get a nice, crispy cannoli every time.

Their Italian ice cream is always a good idea. This custard-based frozen treat is made on-site and available in endless flavors which rotate in and out.

Can’t decide on a flavor? Go with the Spumoni. This specialty Italian ice cream is a wedge of tutti frutti, lemon, and pistachio almond gelato and then topped with sweet almond whipped cream. I
