Chantele BondAugust 10, 2016I adore this place. It's my guilty pleasure . Always fresh and delicious and open when I need them.
Samantha SchleinJuly 15, 2013This is by far my favorite place to get deserts in NY. I just moved away from home and my Nanny's cookies and This place is certainly the next best thing :)
ドーラMarch 7, 2011This old world style Italian cafe offers New York Cheesecake, Italian Cheesecake, Sicilian Cheesecake. The cheesecake is perfectly creamy, fluffy and melts in your mouth. Enjoy with cappuccino!
Quality + decent prices in one of the best dessert spots in NYC. Don't miss the cheesecake with strawberries: it's a classic.
Susan S.December 10, 2016Tons of delicious pastries, old school vibe. I really like the frutti di bosco tart.
Ro JJune 23, 2015Chocolate raspberry truffle cake! Cozy spot where they don't rush you, and you can stay as long as you like.
Sarah KFebruary 16, 2013Can't decide between something chocolate-y and their famous cheesecake? Get The best of both worlds!! Try the chocolate mousse cheesecake. Absolute heaven!
Anna DzhenkovaApril 10, 2015Impressive selection of desserts. I love NYC strawberry cheesecake, carrot cake, and coconut cake.
Mike FriedlichSeptember 29, 2016Cannoli's are to die for! I had chocolate and double chocolate cannoli and they were delicious.
Tiramisu is a MUST!! And the chocolate pear passion when they have it. And DON'T leave without a pound of saviordis!!
The fruit supreme cake is my favorite cake. Its a sponge cake infused with raspberry brandy, filled with bavarian cream and fresh fruits - guaranteed to not let you down.
JaneSeptember 12, 2017One day after purchasing, one slice left, kept in the refrigerator overnight but moldy strawberries the next day makes us question quality
Rent the RunwayApril 27, 2011Veniero's has been around forever! Don't forget to pull a ticket and get your number by the entrance or you'll stand around for hours. Order a slice of strawberry shortcake- it's not even on display!
The chocolate covered cannoli is the best, but get a small one and save room to try something else too
Mike FiedlerDecember 16, 2016Get a table, sit down, have some coffee and a delicious piece of chocolate mousse cake.
Tara RocheDecember 7, 2011Everything is good. I particularly like the variety of cookies. Not too fancy perfect with espresso! Make sure u order in advance for the holiday!
Grab a number, browse the counter and be patient. The line moves fast.
EVERYTHING is good here! But the best are the cheesecake, carrot cake, and the cannolis.
CompassJuly 24, 2013For cannolis, tiramisu, and traditional Italian cookies, the 100-plus-years-old bakery is the only place to go.
- All cakes here are delicious. My favorite is the fruit supreme. If you need a custom size cake order it a couple of days in advance.
Sandeep AhluwaliaMarch 29, 2016Usually busy and it's for the best reasons.. Everything is delicious.
- BasakJune 30, 2015One of the oldest bakeries in the city. Old school Italian vibe and great mini cannoli!

Mary OJanuary 21, 2014Be prepared to take a number and wait for your pastries. They are definitely worth the wait though.
Jonathan FerrariMarch 16, 2014When I miss Italy, i m running to Veniero to buy some pastries. Very old italian bakery, very addictive, handle with care!
Kathryn PhillipsSeptember 17, 2015I've this place!! Everything is delicious. Perfect spot to end a late night
Noah XifrJanuary 27, 2013Everybody says get this or that cake. I agree. But you MUST try the TARTUFO nutty ice creams w strawberry inside thin chocolate shell.
Classic, delicious. Love the cannoli & rainbow cookies as gifts.
You haven't had a dessert ever until you have tasted one from Veniero's. After hitting up the Polish spot Neptune's i always come here for milk/hotchocolate and dessert. oh my lord is all is needed to Read more

ivy♥May 24, 2011Their NY cheesecake is super awesome! Oreo cheesecake is interesting too, but can be too heavy. If you don't wanna wait in line, just order for delivery =)
Mark BallingerMay 20, 2013What else is there to say about Veniero's but the best in the city. We brought some cannolis back to Fla and we are now hero's
If you really like sweet, chocolate taste, try the pistachio tulip cup. Also try their carrot cake. They are my favorite (:
Meric Akcay DunnSeptember 18, 2016We went there to taste their famous cannolis which were not the best we've ever had. But service was even worse. They told us outside was closed but continued to seat people there.
