Mary Alice was pleasant and delightful to deal with. She made some nice selections for me. My family loved everything. I will recommend this bakery to my friends and family

Usually excellent but today I bought our favorite, cannollis, but I think they were leftover from the day or 2 before. Shells were soggy and the filling had a crust on it.
Maybe I will have better luck next time.

That overwhelming feeling when you walk into Isgro and can't decide what to order first followed by standing outside and smelling everything baking. My favorite Christmas tradition!

Holy crap…. 6 cannolis, a piece of limoncello cake, and a pack of pizzelles for 57 dollars…. That’s 57 US dollars. My wife and I just got back from Sicily a few months back where we were eating cannolis for a couple of euros. I’m still in shock.

Our wedding cake was from Isgro's and it was AMAZING! We got many compliments from our guests on how good it was, some even admitting they took more than one slice:)

Very disappointing especially considering the price. I paid $20+ for a box of cookies (yes, painful to even admit) and 1/3 of them turned out to be “well done” or burnt.

Traditional Italian bakery for cookies and sweets. I always let the lady just pick a pound of cookies randomly for us. Never disappointed.

My fav place in philly?
Amazing collection of pastries with high quality
The lobster tail is a piece of art & the fruit tart is always fresh and perfect
The stuff are friendly & polite.

Great pastry shop. No disappoints. All was above par. Sfogliatella, lobster tail (yes it's a pastry), chocolate chip ricotta cookies. Pignoli and many others were divine. Must visit for Italian pastry lovers.

Bakery with a great selection of tasty treats. The biscotti and cannoli were both excellent. Extraordinarily kind and helpful staff - would highly recommend checking this place out!

When you walk in everything looks so good. But, I was overall disappointed. The carrot cake was very good, but the icing was sticky, as if it was old, but the cake was fresh. I liked that it wasn't overly spicy like so many are. If I had just bought the one cake, I would have tasted them higher. But, with its looks and growing up in a town with fabulous bakeries, I expected more. The napoleon was the worst! Hard, the bottom layer tasted burnt, it had some white cream, but custard. They should discontinued that. The eclair was thick, but light custard. I've had better packaged eclair and frozen ones. I dint remember the others, but truly weonly liked the carrot cake. In fact, I bought my mom a cannoncini, I didn't even give it to her. Their specialty is canoli, I should have stock with that and the carrot cake.

This place should be illegal! From the smell of butter and sugar that comes from the grate outside of the door, the the visual feast in the glass cases that line the store… this place is a sensory juggernaut. It is a classic Italian bakery… the pignoli cookies are light and airy… and taste like heaven… the cannoli is perfectly crunchy and filled with the perfect mascarpone and chip mixture. It has it all… I have no idea if they sell sugar free or gluten or lactose free products… and chances are they do… but a box of anything from Isgro is a sure fire party for the mouth! Many a time the box does not make it home before it is opened in the car! Go and enjoy!

Used to love their pastries. But now I'm not impressed. Spent a good amount of money today. The canollis tasted stale with no taste, the rum cake was dry and needed more flavor and the lobster tail wasn't flakey, very dry and the cream was horrible. Unfortunately it's said to say but I don't think I'll be traveling out of my way for Italian pastries.

I wish I had found this place sooner! The limoncello is exquisite and the cookies are bomb. It is a bit pricey but given the quality of their products I’m willing to indulge every now and then. Definitely recommend

10/20/22. Thank you, for a most delicious, beautiful chocolate peanut butter cake we bought for our daughter's birthday. It was perfect

1/13/22, It was my son's birthday and my husband picked up a limoncello cake. It was delicious! A moist cake with lemon curd, whipped cream and white chocolate curls. Thank you for a most delicious cake!

My husband picked up a lemon cooler cake over the weekend for his mom's birthday. It was delicious! The cake was moist, filled with lemon curd and crumbs on the outside. We were so happy with this cake. Thank you for still making it.

Best raspberry marble cake, been getting it now for 14 years straight for anniversary and will continue to do so.
Very delicious and flavor is out of this world.

I normally don’t write reviews but this place was so good that I had to. I am a huge fan of Italian baked good and this place blows it out of the park. Cake slices are 5+ and my favorite cookie of all the almond macarons (amaretti) are done so well that the place in my hometown looks 2nd place now. I can't come here often or I'll gain so much weight haha. Go here! You wont be disappointed.
