This Is The BEST Place To Go For Authentic Italian Pastry's For The Price Its Well Worth The Delicious Cakes, My Favorite Is The Cappuccino Mousse Or Strawberry Chocolate Banana Cake ITS A MUST GO IN NEW YORKKKK!!!

Sampled a bunch of stuff. The plain quaresimale (what some of us call biscotti)was the best I ever had. The regular cannoli had a slightly stale casing but the filling was really delish, The Anise toast was huge and tasty, but the most perfect was the pignoli cookie, OMG, a mound of delight. The regina cookies (sesame enrobed) were crunchy and flavorful and I am sure I detected a drop of anise in them as well. the ricotta cheesecake is...wonderful, not supersweet but just right, rich, perfectly tanned on the outside, and it doesn't have that annoying eggy taste. The sfogliatelle were crunchy, yummy,hints of orange/lemon but not any different than any other good Italian pastry shop. Did not enjoy the "butter" cookies at all, the ones that looked like swiss fudge by Stella D'oro were disappointing, stick with Stella D'oro, or go to a French patisserie instead. Go and enjoy anyway.

We've been here several times and find that it can be deafeningly noisy when it gets crowded. The offerings are above average and nothing really stands out. We don't see all that fuss about their cheesecakes though. Having said that, it's really a cute place to hang out and people watch (if you don't have sensitive ears).

I come here once a year to get the chocolate banana strawberry cake and it still great however thats the only thing I have ever tried for 18 years

I grew up in the East Village and my father used to take me to this place when I was a kid. Ya in the 90's it was great, but it has gone extremely down hill over the past 10 years. Somebody I know brought over some pastries from there a few months ago and they weren't good. This place is 2.5 Stars max. I think it only stays open due to all the tourists and new comers to the neighborhood that never had Italian pastry in their life.

I was just there this past weekend with a few friends and the deserts were great. I got those mini pastries and they were fresh and very good. As far as price I don't know about the review just before this but you cannot get dessert in the city less expensive than this place unless its a dinner. I will definitely come back to this place again. My friends have been going here for years and now I know why

I don't know what happened to the store! They used to be much, much better. I always get a slice of strawberry shortcake. They are still pretty good but their mini pastires... Forget it. It's not worth it. Anyone who says they are the best had never had really good pastreis. Sorry but it's true. Oh, they raised the price so much, as well. Last time, I got a slice of strawberry shortcake and 2 miniature tiramisu, which were not good at all, and 2 tiny chocolate mousse cups that were also just ok. And it costed me around $11 bucks! I don't think I will go back there any more. It was not worth it, and it's a shame...
