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.
 



 


 
 


Small Shop Late In The Day. Apparently I Was Shivering.
 

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.
