Tables outside are perfect for post-dinner small bite dessert and people watching . Incredibly amusing to have them look right through you to ogle at the palmiers behind you.

The thing to get here are the fresh biscotti ; A++. The custard filled clam puff-pastry shells are addictive as are the chocolate mousse eclairs . Service quality is dependent on if they’re busy or not

We were standing at the counter, about to order. I was so excited to try the delicious-looking pastries until my husband pointed at a mouse running right by my foot. We booked it out of there.

Custard clam & cappuccino are amazing

J John

The good: Cannolis are great, Napoleons are also very well made. The bad: Custard eclairs are nothing to write home about, the gelato is so so, and the service curt and slow.

Mark Heyert

Cannoli , cookies , and eclairs are all good old world Italian.

Try a pastry- everything I've tried here is amazing. Favorites are the chocolate cake and cannoli . Enjoy them with an americano or espresso at a neighboring cafe .
