"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)." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"In this town, it’s all about the Eagles, the Phillies, and then everyone else (even the Flyers, occasionally, when they put Gritty on a cool shirt). The same goes for cannoli. Yes, Termini is top-tier, but it’s one buttery Italian cookie away from those from Isgro Pastries in Bella Vista. The crisp shell is made with a higher wine content, giving it especially beautiful bubbles and craters, which remind us of the surface of the moon, and all of our hopes and dreams coming true. The ricotta filling, delicately loaded in by the spoonful, is incredibly smooth." - candis mclean

"Arguably the most famous cannolis in Philadelphia, the Isgro family has perfected their recipe since the early 1900s, with only three people knowing the secret ingredients. Bring a few (or a dozen) to your next gathering and mix and match a variety of fillings, from traditional ricotta with chocolate chips to vanilla cream and chocolate cream." - George Banks-Weston
"I tried a cannoli filled to order at Isgro (est. 1904) with chocolate chip–studded ricotta, and I’d skip the powdered sugar unless you’re eating it immediately since it makes the shells soggy." - Regan Stephens
