This place may seem like a hole in the wall when you walk in -there's no coffee bar or fancy seating - but the pastries are amazing. Most everything is made on site with high quality, authentic Italian ingredients.

This is a little pastry shop that is always a little less crowded than the more popular, but don't let that fool you. The ricotta pies are amazing here. Everything is fresh. Be sure to order early for the holidays. A great bakery.

I picked up a box of Ameretti cookies and bites of "chocolate diped cake". The cookies were amazing! the cake bites average. The service was poor. It seemed liked one of the owner was training a new hire and was overly agressive (condensending tone). When he was showing me the macoroon cookies (aparently stored in the fridge), the owner jumped in and made a comment directly to him saying he needed to quickly close the door as cold air was being lost. I was trying to figure out what they caried (as everything was everywhere)...but felt being rushed (even though I was the only one in the store) and not much of an effort made in understanding what I was looking for. Everytime I asked a question, the new hire would answer and then the owner will be correcting him right away, including asking him not to give out "all the details about the item"...I did not feel confortable being part of this. I picked a to go box of the 2 items not expecting much. When I opened latter at the hotel I was blown away by the taste of the macaroon cookies. They were soft in the middle, crunchy outside, not overly sweet, and the taste of the almond was just right (topped with pine nuts). The dipped cake bites (not sure what they were called) were OK, nothing special. Had I not had such of unfriendly vibe from the owner I would have picked up the phone and said what awsome cookies they have.
