Lindsay FranzoniOctober 23, 2015Never had a bad thing here. Lobster tail is so decadent and delicious.
Lisa GarciaSeptember 3, 2011The mini cannolis are the perfect size and absolutely delicious. Grab espresso with one or try the homemade gelato.
Andreina QuijadaSeptember 30, 2012I had a cannoli and was very good, fresh . Also had a hot chocolate, the best one i've ever had :)
All about the cannolis here, but don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies too
Jordan PayneApril 19, 2013Great food but they were very adamant about us not sitting down with our take away items even though my mate had serious back problems.
Dominick Catena-SommellaSeptember 25, 2016Cannoli's are the best! I'm partial to the sfagatoli myself.
Nadia SobehartSeptember 18, 2013Order the trio-- chocolate cannoli is a must, and iced cappuccinos are delicious here.
Love the chocolate cannoli! Get the min trio and try three different desserts and get the big ones afterwards!
Kevin QMay 19, 2014We decided to eat in and sit to enjoy coffee and a dessert. Food was excellent but the server was rude. We felt like an inconvenience for her.
Catherine SJanuary 20, 2013Get the chocolate truffle cake and ask them to warm it and serve with a side of vanilla gelato. Yum- JackieNovember 17, 2013Try the pumpkin gelato!! Seasonal offering, but amazing! Nutella flavor was good, too.
City Food ToursFebruary 15, 2012An Italina-American classic. Treat yourself to a cannoli perhaps or maybe an assortment of cookies. Ferrara is known for their tasty treats worldwide!
Miss PiggyApril 2, 2014Variety is the spice of life! Skip getting a large pastry and get a few minis.
Mark Chu-CarrollApril 14, 2012Phenomenal desserts. The cannoli is one of the best in NYC, and the tiramisu is just unbelievable.
inkpushcoSeptember 20, 2013After a heavy Italian meal, you will want to get the chocolate cannoli and lemon sorbet.
Mo CourtMay 24, 2013Ask for Lauren G as your server. She is AWESOME an has tons of recommendations for you!
Long, tourist-filled lines during the day, but the cannolis are delicious.
Lesley OCGJune 28, 2016Go to Rocco's on Bleeker Street, much better Italian bakery.Tried Ferrara again after years of going to Rocco's,and that won't happen again.
Mudita PatelDecember 28, 2012Be aware of extra costs before you wait in the line to get a table! Their hot chocolate is great!
You can't go wrong with either the tiramisu or the chocolate mousse cake. Both delicious.
Do yourself a favor and get a Canollo and a serving of Tiramisu. You won't be sorry.
BollareNovember 27, 2012Authentic Italian sweets for a dessert date or a midnight indulgence. –Kristen
Ben DavisJanuary 8, 2011Grab a pastry and an espresso drink from the first and oldest espresso bar in America! (since 1892, no kiddin'!)
Try the strawberry shortcake - (via @Foodspotting)
