Pignoli Cookie Tin

A longtime favorite that Mario Isgro brought to Philadelphia from Italy more than a century ago! Pignoli are meringue-like, almond paste-based cookies covered in golden brown pine nuts. With just the right amount of chew and savory sweetness, this best-seller is a must-try.

One of America’s most historic and beloved Italian bakeries, Isgro was founded in 1904 by Sicilian immigrant Mario Isgro, who brought his craft to Philadelphia’s Italian Market after refining his culinary skills in Vienna. Isgro quickly became a neighborhood go-to for its traditional Italian treats like cannoli and old-world Italian cookies, and it remains a neighborhood landmark – still family-run in its original location – to this day.
