Have heard about Pallota’s for a while on the radio and we have been
in the area a number of times but have never stopped in. We have
been looking for a cassatta cake since the local and long standing
scratch bakery known for them has surrendered. Ninni’s. Sad really.
We heard Pallotta’s does them and following lunch at
BurgerFi we finally got there. It was
late in the day for a bakery and their space is limited to begin
with, so there wasn’t a pile in which to get involved. |

The service is passable…friendly in a way that says, this is my job but lets get on with it. We ordered a few sour cream fruit gems, some Danish, special ordered the cassata and picked up some meatballs. Yeah, I know…bakery meatballs. The Danish and cookies were all fresh and tasty. Doughs had a nice bake and flavor. The fruit and cheese additions varied from good to great.
The white board inside the door was hawking savory treats and we
took two types home, the sausage balls and the honey chipotle
meatballs. I whooped up some whatcha got pasta and plopped a few of
both on either side and found some really assertively flavored meaty
nuggets from the bakery. Interesting and worth a try. |
Steph brought the cake home the next day. In Y-town I think of
cassata as an Italian wedding cake with almond flavored sponge. This
was a Cleveland cassata with sponge, berries (straw), custard, and a
lightly sweetened whipped cream spread. The cake was moist, lightly
doused with rum, sweet but not overly, and beautifully decorated. I
had a couple of pix of the puppy prints and flowers we had asked for
but who knows where they might be. Pallotta's is not quite
Kiedrowski’s but are churning out some
tasty classics right here in Akron.
