Villabate Alba

A really good bakery ! Their cassata are really good and so far this is the only place in NYC where I found them! The cannoli are also excellent

I have visited a couple times...so much to look at. But I stick to the mini cannoli or custard filled pies or tarts ...delicate pastry and the cannoli are my favorite.

Amazing authentic Italian bakery !! Loved the lobster tails , cannolis , cannoli cream cake and the vanilla eclairs . Want to have 1 of everything!!

Come for the pastries and cookies , stay for the gelato . Best 7 layer rainbow cookies in nyc!

Great Italian bakery . Baked goods , gelato all good.

The cannoli cake is moist and so tasty. Italian pastry so delicious and so much variety.

Honestly the best Italian bakery you can find. I'm from Pennsylvania and if I ever visit Brooklyn and don't come home with a Villabate box, my mother would slap me.

The greatest cannoli you can imagine is at Villabate Alba, which has been around for over 80 years and is located a block from where I used to live, says Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story. Read more

Lines around the corner and down the street before any major holiday. I always hit this place up before visiting someone who's never been to Brooklyn

My favorite thing to get here is their gelatos ! Pistachio/Strawberry is the way to go! 😛🍨

Great cannoli , long lines , lots of Brooklyn flavor

One of my go-to pastry spots in Bensonhurst. Don’t sleep on it.

There cannoli cream is delicious, exactly how they make it in sicily. Also try the semolina nice and hot..

wow got some cherry and strawberry and chocalate frosting cupcakes to go with the skinny dipping party at cooers pool lol

Genuine Italian bakery with amazing Arancini , sfogliatelle and many more delicious things.

I have been buying Cannolis here since it was just "Alba", they are still the best I have ever had.

By far my best bakery shop ever

The pastries are the best; the gelato..not so much

The best bakery in the world. Connecticut wishes they had bakeries half as good.

The cannoli and sfogliatelle are arguably better than Ferrara.

Best canoli I've had. Fresh

Very good bakery , highly recommend it!

7 layer cookie cake is a MUST! Yeah buddy. :) running into Nick is always great :)

Over rated! There are some good things there, but their cookies are very dry!
