The Scene
The shelves at Angelo Brocato's homey Mid-City location burst with more than a dozen varieties of baked Italian treats. Ice cream coolers fill up most of the remaining space. Ceiling fans, iron chairs and tables with marble tops complete the store's old-time feel.
The Food
Brocato's packs a lot of sugar into its sweet little space. Crush your craving with an extensive selection of ice creams--nearly 31 flavors, from chocolate to spumoni. Or try fruit ices made with fresh raspberries, peaches and other seasonal fruits; they're lighter than ice cream, but more substantial than a snowball. Of course, for many, the pastries are the star at this family business. It's hard to choose from among Napoleons, eclairs, tiramisu and cannoli. Go with a group and order one of each.

Brocato's is truly a real treat. It has been renovated since Katrina, so it is now slightly larger than before (thank goodness!) Be prepared for a line on weekend nights. Seating is limited as well. Parking isn't always very convenient, BUT it is definitely worth it!

Brocato's makes the best Cannoli's in the area not to mention the Almond Biscotti or the Italian Chocolate assorted Cookies. Thank God they have a website so you can order what you may miss from New Orleans....
