I haven't ever stopped into the Davenport Lagomarcino's before. I used to stop over at the Moline location with friends on certain Wednesdays after getting a meal nearby for ice cream. I wanted much the same after a sandwich at Village Corner Deli today, so I walked over to satiate my sweet tooth.
The interior of this Lagomarcino's is much the same as I remember the Moline location. Glossy stained wood display cases line the wall opposite the entrance with all manner of chocolate confections. The floor is made up of a patterned tile surface throughout the confectionary and dining room area, while the walls are painted a soft pink color. Wooden booths and comfortable looking stools are spread throughout the dining area and bar at the soda fountain.
Unfortunately for me, the dining area and soda fountain were still closed for the winter months, so I wasn't going to be getting ice cream today. I still wanted something sweet, so I talked with one of the employees at the confectionary counter about getting some truffles. She mentioned they had pre-packaged assortments of truffles available, so I opted for a pack of those. I paid for them shortly thereafter and left to start driving home.
The truffles were as I remembered them from Moline. Hard chocolate coating a richly flavored, soft interior. I had a few from the assortment during my drive and opted to save the majority to share at work or consume later in the weekend.
I'll be visiting again when the soda fountain is open and I can get some ice cream during warmer months. I definitely wished I'd stopped over to this Lagomarcino's before. It's the same great interior and sweets as Moline, but much closer to home. Thanks again,...
Read moreI have been going to Lagomarcino's for decades. I love their chocolates, and traditional recipes. (Made with real food ingredients, not chemicals created to taste like food. Wonderful) It just isn't Christmas until I go to Lago's and purchase Chocolate Mint Meltaways & Dark Chocolate covered Almonds. It is the nicest family owned business and it is like stepping back into time, every time I visit their stores. Ordering over the phone and picking up the order went very well this year. The order was correct and all packaged beautifully. If you haven't tried them yet, go today, you will be so happy that you did. 💗
PS, the Hot Fudge is sold in jars to take home, so much better than choc syrup.
Remember Lagomarcino's for Valentine's Day and Easter too. They have original molds to make Chocolate Santas, Easter Bunnies, and Hearts for each holiday. It's great just to go and look, but stop for lunch or get a Sundae while...
Read moreLagomarcino's in the East Village of Davenport is fantastic! Just as quaint as the Moline store. It is handicap accessible and so are the restrooms.
The atmosphere is reminiscent of their start in 1908. It is updated and there are tables and booths to sit at. There are menus at all dine in locations inside the restaurant.
The confectionary side is magnificent! Sweets galore! Including sugar free candies. They sell by the pound, and will allow you to purchase less.
They will ship at your cost.
They make seasonal candies, year round favorites like butter creams, truffles, four petites, marzipan, rock candy among others. They offer chocolates in 3 flavors: milk, dark and white chocolate.
You need to try the Green River or a Chocolate Phosphate! Their deserts are a quad city favorite! Try the steam wheeler banana split.
They are located both in East Davenport and Moline...
