Oh, the aroma! This bakery had an awesome selection of desserts, perfect for an after dinner treat but difficult to only settle for one each! The Napolian was HUGE, fresh and creamy. The chocolate chip canoli was perfect without being too sweet. A nice way to celebrate a New York City kind of day.

There were sooooo many great things to see, smell and eat in this amazing place. Skip desert at your restaurant and grab something here.

pistachio gelato is really good! There are many desserts to choose. Tiramisu is not bad, not the most impressive one though. The lemon tar is great! Service is quite kind. Would definitely want to try some others next time!

Stopped in here by chance (because it smelled SO GOOD when we walked by) and it was fabulous! Some of the pics show tables outside but they weren't there for our visit. Maybe we were in the off season so there wasn't a high demand for seating. I had the tiramisu cannoli and it was the best cannoli I've had... More

We tried almost every flavor cannoli they had and they were amazing! They had so many other yummy baked goods to choose from, it made deciding what to get very difficult!! Best bakery that we went to, and I would say it is a must if your in NYC!

Lots of bakeries make great Cannoli but the Sfogliatelli here are absolutely the best. Sfogliatelli is a classic Italian pastry with ricotta filling and a cake-like consistency. Ask for the powdered sugar. Don't miss it if you are in Little Italy.

I always stop by here when I'm in NYC. I usually get a bunch of mini sweet treats to bring home. Cannolis and eclairs are excellent! You must try them! This place is always crowded...you'll be lucky if you can find a seat! There are so many to choose from, but I always get a variety of cannolis. Must stop... More

We just stumbled into this small bakery with a wonderful selection of pastries, cookies and biscottis. I had two cannoli to go, one filled with tiramisu and other was red velvet. Delicious.

Cannolis were pretty darn good! Great selection of any kind of Italian cookie you might want. We tried a variety and they are traditional. The place was very busy with tour groups and locals alike. Would I return? If in the neighborhood, for sure!
