  Very rarely do I give out a 5 star rating, but Angelo's is straight up deserving! After having a not so delicious dinner somewhere else, we figured we would head to Angelo's for some cannolis. As always, we were in heaven as soon as we walked in the doors. This is an Italian bakery and gelato hotspot in the city and it was packed, but the pastry cases were delightfully full of yummies.
  
  The cannolis are hand piped to order. The coffee is delicious and if you can get your hands on the gelato or anything else, DO! We tried the eclairs this go round as well as the baba rhum cake and baci gelato. I'm salivating just reminiscing!
  
  Ordered cannolis to go and they took the time to wrap them in this precious box with a little yarn bow. That extra mile goes a long way in my book!
  
  Must try: cannolis, chocolate dipped cannoli, tiramisu cake, eclairs, and gelato!

  Love the pastries and gelato here.
  Everything from the food to the customer service is superb. I stop here at least once every 2 weeks to grab some gelato in a cone and a pastry to go.
  
  Definitely do not skip over this place for dessert, it's literally on the same block as a few great restaurants!

  This was on my list of places to try when I returned to visit NO. The evening we arrived there was a policeman outside the entrance keeping people from blocking the doorway and directing customers when to enter as the line indoors became shorter.
  
  We ordered a few different items so we could share. The two gelatos we tried were strawberry and banana pudding, both rich, creamy and delicious. I also enjoyed the pecan melt away cookies. The cannoli was a disappointment. I thought the filling had a paste texture and the flavor wasn't great. But many people seem to love them according to reviews. The nucatoli cookie wasn't my fav either.
  The young long haired, tattooed blonde lady filling the made to order cannolis didn't wear plastic food gloves, no hair net and was wearing a fabric bracelet (germ magnet), all while working over two huge bowls of cannoli filling. It was definitely a health hazard and a turn off. I'm sure there are some tasty pastries but I wouldn't return to try any.
  If you go, try the gelato.

  We stopped by this place because we just had brunch nearby and heard this was one of the must visit institutions in New Orleans. I will take any opportunity to eat gelato!
  
  We came with a party of 9 people and they had plenty of room to sit and enjoy a cup of gelato or any of the other many pastries and desserts they have here. I tried the spumoni ice cream cause it looked colorful and delicious (and you get to try three flavors). We also had an Italian soda. Some of the others in our group tried the pastries like the cannoli. Everyone enjoyed the pastries!
  
  I really liked the spumoni ice cream. I would absolutely try it if you've never been here before. The green is pistachio almond (which was my favorite), the pink is tutti frutti and the yellow is lemon. The white is cream I think. It was pretty tasty and a delicious treat for a hot day. I think I would absolutely get this ice cream shipped to California (which it turns out they do)!

  I'm writing this review solely based on their King Cake gelato but it was so good that it would be a sin not to give them five stars. I've tried a few different brands of King Cake ice creams and while they've all been decent, the King Cake gelato at Angelo Brocato was by far the best and most authentic. There were big pieces of actual king cake in the gelato and sweet cinnamon swirls and cream cheese throughout. Every bite was filled with flavor whether it was the king cake itself or the cinnamon cream cheese. It tasted exactly like king cake but in gelato form (aka incredible).
  
  I didn't try any of their other flavors, but given how much I loved the king cake gelato I'll happily return and try other flavors (unless they still have king cake, obviously).
