"A third-generation Sicilian gelateria and bakery founded in 1905, this Old World café transports visitors with slowly turning ceiling fans, glass apothecary jars and authentic Sicilian treats. Signature items include lemon ice and torroncino (vanilla gelato with cinnamon and ground almonds), and the gelato is slow-churned as a custard-based product with less milk fat and air than American ice cream, yielding a dense, intensely flavored result that evokes Palermo with a New Orleans twist." - Veronica Stoddart
"A family-run Italian gelateria and bakery whose MSY outlet delivers homespun service and treats: "cannolis are the real deal and the gelato is fresh — get St. Joseph Chocolate Almond if they have it." (Gate B2)" - Clair Lorell
"This iconic family-run Italian bakery and gelateria has been pleasing ice cream fanatics for more than 120 years with classic flavors like Sicilian pistachio, stracciatella (chocolate chip), and salted caramel. It is also home to a great spumoni, freshly piped cannoli, and a huge variety of Italian cookies. Be prepared for a line out the door after dinner on weekends, though it’s a pleasant wait." - Adriana Lopez
"Offers Buffaleaux oysters, a named oyster preparation that preserves the specific styling or sauce indicated by the term." - Clair Lorell
"Just a short streetcar ride from City Park, this iconic Italian bakery and gelateria is the perfect stop for stocking up on holiday cookies and cannoli or for having a cappuccino and tiramisu before a visit to the oaks in City Park or family and friends. Bring a box of cookies and cannoli and you’ll be a hero." - Eater Staff
