"Bella Vista’s Isgro Pastries has been open since 1904, and the years of experience have made them extremely efficient. Even if there's a line, you’ll be in and out with your cannolis and chewy chocolate ricotta cookies within 10 minutes. The selection is massive. People come here for everything from Christmas cookies to birthday cakes or maybe just to soak up the almond scent on the sidewalk (also known as South Philly pheromones)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
