    Nothing not good here
    Fadda M.

    Even if this place were not next to La Torre, the best gourmet Italian grocery store in Brooklyn, I would still come here. Very clean inside, very friendly staff, & all the baked goods are too good - VERY difficult to decide what to get, & everything is mg favorite, but right now I am all about their autumn pies. Also - the bad reviews here seem to be primarily about their custom cakes, which people feel are too expensive, & did not match their request. I can only say that custom cakes are time consuming to make & not cheap, & their off-the-shelf cakes are already delicious, beautiful, & reasonably priced. I really do look for any excuse to come to this amazing place !

    I grew up two miles away from Aliotta Pastry Shop, not once did we come here for Italian cakes, cookies or pasties. My grandparents had their bread and pastry spots on Avenue L that have since closed. It's St Joseph's Day and I'm on the road. Hey, I'm team Sfinge so I want something good. C'Mon, its Brooklyn after all! Just a note, any established Italian Bakery front has flair. It feels like you're walking into a theatre on Broadway! Once you're inside, man its on. There is a big sign: all ingredients are from Italy. Everything looks deelish! Cakes, cookies, breads and pastries as much as the eye can see. I see the St Joesph's Pastries, with THREE Sfinge left (Plently of cannoli cream filled available) There is only one counterperson serving and ringing up customers. The phone rang and the woman stopped everything to answer the phone. A little annoying but I'll give them a pass. Also, there are no tables to sit. Conduct your business and GFTO. Old school Italians didn't play around back then! Yet, go to any Panera Bread in Florida and see them all day long reading the paper. I ask for one Sfinge and RAN out of the bakery like a fiend. I went to my car and ripped open the package. First bite was like a hit, sooo good! Happy St Joesph's Day to everyone. Aliotta Pastry Shop, I would've liked to known you, But I was just a kid.. Thanks for the St Joes Pastry.. Your legend ever did..

    The rainbow cookies were delicious! So glad I stopped by. The store was super clean and very thing was nicely wrapped in the cases.

    Cash only. I got pignolis and these little pecan pie bites with a shortbread cookie base. The pignolis were $32/pound (I believe). At half a pound, I got 11 cookies. I got 2 of the pecan bites. My total was ~$19. They've been around for a while so clearly they're doing something right. Not sure how their prices compare to other Italian bakeries in the area, but they pastries I got tasted great. Docking a star since they're cash only & the service wasn't good.

    Free connoli when you check in!

    If you are craving for Italian pastries in Brooklyn this is the place to go! Location: It is located in Avenue N. The inside has a lot of displays of pastries! No seatings inside. Just go and order! Service: she was very nice and attentive, does not rush you to pick. Food: Everything was good and delicious! We ordered RAINBOW COOKIES: it was good! Soft and not that sweet unlike other rainbow cookies! PIGNOLI COOKIES: this is my favorite the inside of this cookies are soft while the outside has a crunch because of the pine nuts! Also this is not sweet! I also got FREE CANNOLI! You have to check in and show it to them, the cannoli was fresh and cream inside was not that heavy! Price rating: 7/10, its not bad for all the goodies I will definitely come back to try other pastries and sweets! But definitely will buy pignoli cookies! FREE Cannoli when you check in!

    The Pretty stale cake

    I used to buy cakes here..Bought my eight year old son a Birthday cake today, it was the worst experience. The new staff hardly spoke english , the was someone cleaning and scraping dust all near the pastries, i bought a pretty but stale cake and frozen solid after 4 hours of purchase, it was supposed to be a cannoli filling. It was like melted store bought vanilla ice cream as if the freezer had it melt and refrozen, the cake itself was bitter from being stale..im done here..threw $40 away fast and ended up with my son and everyone having a bellyache in the end...Thanks Aliotta Happy Birthday!!!

    Second time coming to this establishment on visiting family. I ordered the danish cherry/blueberry danishes and also the apple cinnamon rolls. The service was good and the lady was extremely nice. The ambiance look like a cake palace lol with all the fresh cakes and cookies that I saw. Just a wonderful place and I recommended this for everyone that is visiting Brooklyn NY or even ordering it online.

    I got a few desserts from here. They are good. I got a cake one so it wasn't so good. But if you go there, they have cakes on sale for different prices which are good.

    I ordered the signature red velvet, 2 classic american cheesecakes, 1 tiramisu slice, and 1 old fashion bluberry muffin. Ordering through seamless, there were pictures for every single item. I have to say, I had low expectations for the red velvet. In the picture, it looked pretty hard. However, it was terrific. It was a rectangular slice with one white chocolate on the top. In fact, the portion left me feeling like it was too much- too heavy. But, i'm not complaining since I could just eat half and save the rest for later. Big portions are never a problem. In the seamless pictures the cheesecake seemed small but it's actually pretty tall in height so even if it's width isn't that much, the height makes up for it. Do note that there is no graham cracker on the bottom like regular cheesecakes. I thought the tiramisu would be more textured because of the seamless picture, but it was like regular tiramisu.

    It was my first time here. Everything looks so good!! I tried these cookies with like Carmel in them they were to DIE FORR. The girls at the counter were really helpful on answering all of my questions! This place is a must everything looks nice and fresh.

    Awesome Italian bakery with a huge selection of traditional cakes and pastries such as cannolis, tiramisu, lady fingers and many new twists as well. Girls at the counter are super friendly. They do a very high volume so you know everything is fresh.

    The owner John is a good old guy. The pastry shop is a top tier dessert location. Get what you'll want which is pretty much the entire shop.

On this visit, I was buying bread for three different friends as gifts, so I naturally needed a little extra time to make my selections and place my order. Unfortunately, the staff member serving me appeared extremely impatient throughout the process and even criticized me for not explaining my order clearly. I completely understand that there were customers waiting behind me and that the staff needs to keep the line moving. However, I believe every customer deserves to be treated with patience and respect. If I am spending over $120 on your products, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect five minutes of patience while I carefully choose my order. I truly love this bakery and will continue recommending it because the quality of the bread is exceptional. I only hope the customer service can better reflect the quality of the products. A little more patience and kindness would make the experience just as memorable as the bread itself.

    Radio Bakery... is perfection. I completely understand the line…read more I first ordered the heirloom tomato & feta sandwich, which was unbelievable. It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

While they didn't have their full selection available, there were still plenty of pastries to choose from. We ended up getting the vanilla kouign amann and the chocolate PB&J croissant. The kouign amann was flaky, buttery, and beautifully caramelized. The chocolate PB&J croissant was easily our favorite. It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.
