Angelo Brocato
New Orleans, LA
Angelo Brocato is located on North Carrollton. It’s small building but because of the “loud” neon sign in front of it, it’s nearly impossible to miss.. but still a possibility. lol It’s an old fashion kinda place that takes you back to that time.. the “slow turning fans” sorta time frame. The place is usually packed with patrons coming in for everything from espressos to gelatos…

Praline GelatoGelato is the name of the game and here at Angelo Brocato, they do a damn good job! Supposedly they use 100 year old recipes passed down from generation to generation. (you can’t find their recipes on the internet) Maybe I should work there part time.. My home ice cream maker is yearning for some new recipes! lol
My date and I shared a Praline Gelato served in a sugar cone. The ice cream was layered with swirls of caramel and bits of crunchy pralines! The smooth texture of the gelato, the silkiness of the caramel and the crunch given by the pralines made this a very delicious and decadent dessert! It’s been a while but I got to say, this is my favorite ice cream place in the city!

? NICE! I love Angelo Brocato…I love pralines and I love gelato so I will definitely try this praline gelato next time I’m there! 
icecream…. *drool*
gahhhh must stay away from sugar overload hahaha
Ohhhhhhhhhh, delish! Their Italian seed cookies (Biscotti di Regina, I think) are magical.
Taking a date to a gelato place? Shared a cone? Too sweet.
I missed this spot! This past weekend found me at both Stella and Eleven 79. My Amex is hurting me.
i’m a weakling for ice cream. the praline gelato sounds delicious!
I’ve never been to New Orleans, so we’re even = ) Hm, maybe we could do a switcheroo sometime? haha
And yay for gelato! The good stuff is so hard to find here =*(
your entries are getting more and more inspiring. makes me want to run a bakery of my own.
There is not a single place around here that serves gelato. Which is sad, because I dearly wish to try it… 6 out of 7, Im impressed.
that looks so good! especially on a hot 98 degree weather i’m in right now. BLAH
