Trying to purchase thing online doesn't do this place justice. Pastries are outstanding and are affordable when you by in person. Unlike most places,it's cash only, when you go into the shop. But if you don't have cash on hand they do have an ATM in the shop. When I'm in Brooklyn again I will be visiting this place. read more

For over 30 years this has been my Favorite Italian Pastry shop in Brooklyn. They even made our wedding cake. SInce I moved to NC, I had been hearing that the place had gone down hill and that the pastries are stale. I should have known better than to listen to the creep (who will remain nameless so my wife doesn't get upset) who complains about everything. So while visiting recently I decided to see for myself. This place looked, smelled and tasted better than ever! I was so upset that I stayed away because of bad advice. I ordered my favorite pastries including Lobster Tails (french creme stuffed sfogliatelle) and a custard filled Spritzle with chocolate icing. So when this negative creep finished wolfing down a nice big piece of pastry, she asked, with her mouth smattered with powdered sugar, where did you get these, they're great...... read more

I was craving the Italian Rainbow Cookies (Cakes).... The three multi-colored layered cake secured together with jam and chocolate on top. I called them up and they told me come on in we have them! When I walked in, everyone was extremely friendly and I was pleased with the presentation of baked goods! It was right before Thanksgiving and they had Turkey Shaped Cakes! Call me lame but I was impressed lol! In addition to the 1 pound of Rainbow Cookies we ordered a small Strawberry Short Cake Cup. In my opinion, it was a little dry, but bae said it was good. The rainbow cakes were delicious, I do prefer them with sprinkles on top butttt the extra sugar was not missed. ALSO THEY ARE CASH ONLY!!! read more

I would give zero stars if I could. It is very much unacceptable to own a bakery and have the writing on the cake look like this. The writing is awful and the cake is tiny to be charging $100. The cake actually taste how it looks, TERRIBLE! If you are looking for a rainbow cookie cake, please go to Lulu's in Long Island. There you will get size, cost, and a beautiful cake both structurally and with writing. I would not recommend this cake to my worst enemy. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Went here for dessert on Sunday at 9:00pm but the place was closed. The website says the bakery is open everyday till 9:30 pm. It is never a good idea to lie to customers because that is how you lose business. Either update the hours on your website or do what is promised as a neighborhood bakery. read more

I love this place! This is a true pastry shop in every sense. Places such as these are so rare, from the delicious homemade food to the awesome service! First parking isn't too hard to find, lots of residential street parking and meters along the main strip. The outside of the shop is very eye catching! Like, I could just sit there and drool looking over how yummy it looks. Inside the shop is small but spacious, lots of different Italian pastries, pies, cakes and cookies! The young ladies working there are so nice. It so refreshing. Food wise my favorite are strawberry cake and the cheesecake. The cheesecake is super creamy, like nothing Ive had before. Overall? Come here for some good desserts. They have many larger pies and seem to do custom orders as well. Also, the to-go boxes are precious and done with such care. However, do be aware that it is a cash only type joint. read more

I drove an hour from Nassau County to buy fresh pignoli cookies yesterday and they were stale and hard to chew. First time ever I was disappointed in the Aliotta Pastry Shop. Still a family favorite despite this experience. read more

Amazing, authentic, and very homely style Italian pastry shop. The black and white cookies are everything! The service is very friendly and accommodating and they even have sugar free and dairy free option. One thing to note however, it is a cash only business. If you don't have cash with you don't worry as there is an ATM machine there but you have to be mindful of the $4 withdrawal fee. read more

Amazing bakery with a large variety of cakes, cookies, and pastries. This was my first time, and I was very impressed with everything. The apple pie especially was amazing. The service was quick and efficient. Will definitely come back. read more

Living in Manhattan now, I often miss old school Brooklyn bakeries. We were in BK visiting a friend and seeking out a spot to pick up some delicious desserts. I used my handy Yelp app to find this gem. Cases and cases of every delicious dessert I grew up on along with a variety of cakes and ice cream. So many delicious offerings, it was hard to pick one. We selected a buttercream cake and it was devoured. I highly recommend stopping in for all our your sweet cravings. read more

Worst service rude and upsetting. They didn't have my item and requested me to cancel the order. Refused to help and slam the phone in my face. Don't order on Uber from this place. Super bad experience. read more

I went here on Sunday morning to get an array of sweets for his birthday. I got great customer service ! I expressed to her what kind of sweets he likes and she helped me make the cutes sweets box filled with chocolate goodies . He loved all of the treats ! And i got myself a tiramisu and it was great! I live right in the neighborhood I'll be sure to be back again . :) ! I'll definitely recommend this place . read more

I was in search of a great bakery in the area since I recently moved and Aliotta has been my go to! I'm so happy and excited that this amazing bakery is about a 10 minute walk from where I live just in case I need to get my sweet tooth fixed. I've had their blueberry fruit tarts, chessecakes, tiramisu and cookies and they were all amazing! You can tell they use very fresh and quality ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back to try at least one of each of their pastries! read more

This is my favorite bakery in Brooklyn. I have been getting dessert here since a kid and I will always go back when I'm in the neighborhood. The best cheesecake in Brooklyn. To be honest there isn't anything I do not enjoy from them. If you aren't to much of a sweet tooth you need to try their soft cherry biscotti!! Italian cookies are awesome too. read more

What's not to love? I'm a pastry-holic and have been to many bake shops so yeah this is one of the best! Staff are friendly and very patient with my son. I bought the blueberry pie and shared it with my coworkers. They loved it so much they asked the name of the bakery. Wow!! read more

The place is cash only, I didn't know that ahead of time, but shame on me. I ordered an assortment of cookies. These were some of the best cookies I've had in awhile. The butter cookies were not dry . They were actually opened pretty late on a Sunday which was huge plus. read more

So disappointed. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. However this was not the case when I was there the afternoon before Thanksgiving. I purchased a pumpkin pie, which when I got it home and opened it the next day for Thanksgiving Dinner, was COMPLETELY BURNT. What bakery would sell a pie that is clearly black on top?? I don't live near there, and it was already Thanksgiving, so I couldn't take it back. We tried to eat it, but it was just horrible. What is most disturbing to me is that if you have a good reputation, how can you let something so lacking in quality even leave your kitchen? Your name and reputation is everything... read more

Passed by and stopped randomly for a sweet tooth fix and YES it was more than satisfying. I love sweets so it was so hard to choose from all the selections. Cakes, cookies, pastries, cannolis and Italian ices. -- my gosh. We got there right as it was closing and they still let us in to grab something. Check in on Yelp and you get a FREE cannoli!! read more

Very good good cannoli. Shell was crisp and fresh and the filling was creamy with easiest green pistachios on end cap. The store doesn't look to appetizing inside but the cannoli worked out well . The Napoleon was a little dry. There are many better pastry shops than this on in Brooklyn like Rimini for example WIGB? Maybe read more

Giving it 2 stars because I asked for a fresh cannoli and was given one that was sitting in fridge for god knows how long. Sales girl told me they were fresh and they were NOT. Cannoli should be crispy not soggy. Extremely disappointed, sadly had to throw my cannoli away read more

Cookies and pastries are decent here but never the cakes. I have lived in the neighborhood for 26 years and have seen the quality of the cakes go up and down from time to time. I ordered my last cake from here for my bridal shower in April 2019 and never went back. it wasn't great but I sure paid the price for a "great cake" this review is for my friend that ordered a cake for her birthday this past weekend and it tasted like a cake that had been made SEVERAL days prior. It doesn't take an expert to know that cake wasn't fresh. And I concur with the comments that describe them as rude. read more

The cookies were stale. Haven't been here for a couple of years. I brought six different types of cookies and they were not fresh at all.

Went here midweek and the pastries were fresh and delicious. They had a huge selection of goodies. The cakes in the fridge looked beautiful too but we didn't stop in for those so I can't say how they taste. If you're in the area stop in. read more

Disrespectful and disgraceful isn't even the word! FYI to anyone who supports or follows their Instagram page don't even bother supporting this business at all because they will randomly block your page for no reason! Even if you like their pictures or support their business they will block your page for no reason Who even does that? That's so unprofessional and RUDE. And by the way not impressed with their foods at all I was considering going here when I travel to New York again but never mind I will never respect business owners who act like assholes and don't respect people. Or treat people with respect and I know many people in different businesses specifically in nyc and that business owner is beyond rude. To hell with you and your bullshit. I will never support your foods or business when I come to New York where a lot of my businesses are FYI. And lastly Up yours! read more

Im very disappointed !!!i live in the neighborhood and usually go sometimes to Alliota Pastry to enjoy the mini cakes that I always enjoy even the staff is never friendly or depends the day I go . However , yesterday I went in looking for a nice birthday cake with my sister for my mom 50 th birthday and We had the assistance of a young lady who make us feels like we were disturbing her , no smile ,not friendly . Anyway we need a cake cause it's was already late to go anywhere else so we had a preference for a fruit custard cake, when we ask the young lady what texture has inside she told us custard ! So we finally purchase that one (cost $30 ) no debit CC accepted ,had to withdraw cash from their ATM service for $2,5 fees . When we cut the cake home and celebrate ,we were surprised because there was just one layer of custard and a extremely dry sponge cake inside and STALE really disappointed even for a sponge cake !! So we didn't eat it just a piece to take few pictures ...was very embarrassing and upset ! Nobody wanted it !! Next day I took back the cake to the store and I explained to them this wasn't told it's was a almond sponge cake inside , and even it's taste stale and dry and cannot be eaten to change it to an other better cake ? This time I had the person who does the cake Inself and told me she cannot do anything if I don't like the cake that it's supposed to taste like that and nothing is wrong with it and she always look out for her customers satisfactions . She wasn't able to give me back a suitable birthday caked of my choice for the price I paid for !!! she gave me a simple Chocolate Danish cake instead . With no excuses for the inconvenience or nothing like that She was speaking also her own language with her staff in front of me pointing her finger towards me how disrespectful is that !? And then walked back in her kitchen Im also in buisness and this was not reasonable !! I will not go back there just for this reasons of Custumer and quality services !! Very unsatisfied I post both cake and danish and take a look what really worth my money I spend ! ?? read more

It kills me to write this review, but I must. Aliotta used to be the best but now it has fallen in quality, size of items and has risen in price. I get that so many things have gone up in price and that business's must pass the cost on to the customer. But that's no excuse for putting out a poor product. I have been there 3 times in the last few months and whatever I ordered was not fresh, in fact I was there last week and picked my own cookie selection and they were not fresh. Cannoli's with soggy shells, Cakes not moist and the cookies hard chocolate dots hard not soft. I won't be returning here again . read more

The pastries are ok - maybe i caught them on a bad day (Sunday) right around closing. The mini cannolis were soggy and the french napoleon icing top was too hard to break and the flakey layers were soggy as well. The chocolate tip apricot cookies were great though! Coming into Aliotta reminded me of the days when I worked at an Angelo's Pasticceria in Bensonhurst where you knew you were getting great quality pastries and cookies. The presentation was very similar and it was very nostalgic for me. I will definitely be back for those apricot cookies and to give my favorite french napoleon another try. I did like that I could taste the french cream which is very different than that whipped cream tasting crap a lot of other bakeries put in their french napoleons. I look forward to trying them out again! read more

Usually I'm very happy with Alitotta's pastries and cakes but today I was beyond annoyed at how mediocre their work was on a cake I ordered. I ordered a strawberry shortcake on Grubhub to be delivered. I asked them to write a specific name on the cake. I literally could not even tell what was written on the cake. What bothers me the most is that I put the order in 2 days in advance so there was MORE than enough time for them to at least find a person would write the name clearly. Very disappointed. read more
