Italian immigrant Angelo Brocato brought over his recipes and techniques to New Orleans and opened up his first store over on Ursulines Street in the French Quarter. After nearly 80 years in the French Quarter, Brocato’s moved to the location we know today in Mid-City on North Carrollton.
When you walk in, you’ll be overwhelmed with smells and nostalgic atmosphere of an old-school ice cream parlor.
