- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018When in need of authentic Italian desserts this spot has it all. Most famous for their gelato flavors you'll have trouble choosing one, although the Almond & Salted Caramel are particularly great.
Travel + LeisureOctober 14, 2014For something "molto italiano", try the Spumoni, a wedge of tutti-frutti, lemon, and pistachio almond gelato, topped off with homemade whipped cream. Read more
Rj St ThomasDecember 17, 2018I love this place so much! Everything is fresh, tasty and high in quality! I recommend their cassata, rum cake, cannolis and tiramisu!
James FiltzJuly 15, 2012In the large cup they let you taste four favors so even if one is a dud you won't be disappointed! Zuppa inglese was my surprise favorite! Stracciatella and pistachio excellent as expected!- Nicole CheramieNovember 27, 2018When in need of authentic Italian desserts, this spot has it all.

- ed petersonApril 5, 2016Real deal, old school Italian sweets and gelato. Go for the Spumoni and then linger over a perfect espresso to listen to local gossip.
Hannah AlkadiNovember 27, 2023Heavenly. The Napoleon is amazing and any flavor of ice cream is delicious. The food didn’t last long enough for a photo.
Eduardo DominguezDecember 28, 2016Cool place for spending time while you try some of theirs delicious ice creams and desserts. Spumoni was a great choice
Dante' JohnsonMay 11, 2016Strawberry Cheesecake and Mint Chip Gelato! Minimum card purchase is $5. Otherwise have cash.
- Zdenek FaranaMay 15, 2022Great gelato and Italian desserts, a bit out of the way, but worthy a visit while in the neighborhood.
Calvin TingMay 19, 2017Spumoni & Espresso. A must have. Also try the Zuppa Inglese gelato (tastes like buttered rum)
A New Orleans institution. Established in 1905 as a small ice cream stand in the French Quarter on Decatur by A. Brocato, an immigrant from Sicily. Its present location has existed since 1978.
Lidia BastianichOctober 31, 2011The place to visit for dessert. The two I really liked were the cappuccino ice-cream cake, like a frozen cappuccino, and the torroncino, a hazelnut-and-almond semifreddo.
Maria MillerMay 12, 2016The Zuppa Inglese and the seasonal jasmine gelato were divine. It's a lovely little nook.
Jenn BacallSeptember 2, 2014It's known for the ice cream, but the fruit tarts, biscotti and other bakery are also stellar!
Laurette WilliamsApril 2, 2023Very good gelato. Tried amaretto gelato. Delicious. Excellent service.
So good. Classic New Orleans. If you're having dinner in Mid-City definitely go here for dessert.
Editor BOctober 10, 2014Scadalina (dead man's bones) brittle clove-flavored cookies. Also Italian soda.
Find. Eat. Drink.July 5, 2011Chef Adolfo Garcia says “Sicilian pistachio gelato or Zuppa Inglese gelato, oh and squeeze in a cannoli, trust me.”
Sally Gentile Johnson WightkinJanuary 3, 2016I love the Pignoli cookies. Oh, I love everything there.
When Clemenza said "Leave the gun; take the cannoli," it was probably because they were from Brocato's. The best!

Justin SnyderJuly 6, 2011The Zuppa Inglese (rum custard) gelato is the best. Try it with a mini cannoli.
The Best pastries in Nola! A few even better than Italy, ha For Real!
Not only is the gelato fabulous, the cookies/cakes are divine as well.
The Sicilian pistachio nut gelato is ridiculously good.
If they have the pannacotta, get it. Otherwise, get the fiore di latte - they alternate and only one is available.

- DRRMay 9, 2012Everyone raves about the cannoli here but I disagree...I think they need to go to Italy and find out what they really taste like.
