It's clearly a must to visit in Little Italy, it was crazy crowded! Desserts are sooo sweet it was difficult for me to eat a slice in one sitting. Very nice and cozy place, remembers old times 😀

The best bakery in Little Italy & uber crowded during holidays. Because it's so famous, I've watched prices go from $6-$21a pound for cookies. HIGHWAY ROBBERY! The gelato is worth it & reasonable

Get the LOBSTER TAIL! OMG!!!!!!!!! Amazing, melt in your mouth macaroons. The lemon custard was so delightfully, strong lemon. A cup of house coffee and a bag full of pastry samples was only $7.25.

Try a cappuccino with a simple pastry like the fruit tart. Gelato selection is also good. Try the biscotti, pistachio, hazelnut and Nutella flavors.

Ferrara Bakery & Cafe was founded in 1892 by Antonio Ferrara as a place where he and his friends might go after the opera, to share a coffee and play their favorite card games. Read more

This gem situated in Little Italy is a must try. Prosciutto and fig pizza is delicious and one of a kind. Complement it with one of the gelato drinks and the tripple mini dessert option.

I don't know which bakery is best in all of NYC. This place or Veniero's in the East Village. This place has the best Nutella ice cream ever!

Cannoli's are out of this world. Some of my favorite things to eat. I had plain and chocolate cannoli. Everything there looked delicious, especially the chocolate cakes.
Wajana LaArtistaJanuary 8, 2013
Definitely 1 of my favorite there's nothing you can go wrong with cappuccino espresso cannolis fruit tart everything is absolutely delicious enjoy New York at its best

Leave the gun, take the cannoli. Eat it with your fingers. Avoid the normal American cakes. Opt for the traditional Italian deserts. Grab the lobster tails when they have them!!

Feels like a tourist trap and definitely pricer than its Brooklyn counterparts, but they do Italian pastries well here. Probably the best cannoli in Little Italy.
Rich HackmanFebruary 24, 2013
I loved the ambience here. There's usually a bit of a wait because it's quite popular, but it's worth it. I had the New York Cheesecake, and absolutely loved it.

Vanilla sponge filled with layers of coffee & chocolate custard cream bathed in an orange blossom punch then topped with fresh whipped cream made a believer of me ~Italian Traditional Cake~
Buford BarnesFebruary 23, 2012
Established in 1892 by an opera impresario and continuously family owned and operated. This Italian cafe and bakery is among the oldest in the city and serves a number of fresh and delicious treats.

The Tartufo Tre Scalini: Tartufo Tre Scalini chocolate hazelnut gelato, with a center of whipped cream, pieces of chopped cherries & biscuit, dipped in a bittersweet chocolate. YUMMMM!!

Try the trio of miniatures. You can have a famous cannoli (so good!) and try some of their other amazing bakery items.
Brittney PotterNovember 25, 2019
Chocolate Canolo, eclairs, & sfogliatella. Excellent and expensive but worth it! True Italian bakery.

The old school family-owned cafe claims to be America’s first espresso bar, but is now especially beloved for its fresh cannoli and Italian pastries.
Chrissy S.July 13, 2017
We ate the cannoli and a piece of cake (napoleon). It was very good.

Do yourself a favor and get a cannoli. Just do it.
Felipe MuñozApril 17, 2013
Try the Cannoli, Chocolate Gelato, Pistacchio Gelato, Stracchiatella Gelato and dont forget to get a ristretto :-)

You must try the Pistachio Gelati! Very good! A small cup is more than enough for one.
Paige CSeptember 15, 2014
Famous mostly for their homemade gelato and delectable cannoli. Don't miss out.
Ryan BrodkinSeptember 6, 2016
Anything with Bavarian Cream is amazing!
Mike KalenDecember 9, 2014
Ferraro's still has all of the great italian desserts, but it's lost its charm and uniqueness
Renata Gonçalves MotaDecember 26, 2013
A lovely place, with a good breakfast, Panini with egg and bacon is a good choice.
Tarah FeinbergDecember 30, 2014
The New York cheesecake is some of the best I've ever had.
Brian PJune 2, 2016
All the pastry is good but the Cannoli - plain or dark chocolate covered are the best in town.
Guha ArunkumarJanuary 9, 2018
Get the canoli! Small, big, classic, chocolate. Whatever it is, get it!!
