Now that I'm older and live in the burbs, there are things that I'm just used to sucking. Take for…read moreexample Chinese food, the best place in my current neighborhood would have closed in a month in my old neighborhood. It's the same with Ravioli. I'm used to getting ravioli from an Italian Superstore that's dotted across Long Island. Good? Yeah maybe but what I grew up with? Nah. I'm in The Bronx and I'm going to stop at Borgatti's Ravioli for our Sunday dinner. Walking into the store, it's very small. There are high glass partitions, no touching just pointing. I see the various pastas and ravioli but I want the big suckas. Small ravioli? C'Mon! I made the best red sauce that I will drown these raviolis in a sea of tomatoes. The small raviolis just can't swim in my pot! The older gentleman behind the counter asks if he can help me. I ask him to open the box and actually show me the larger ravioli. Oh baby, they are large and in charge. Why I walked out with one box still boggles my mind because I should have bought 3. I'm not in the area too often and the extra boxes would have carried me through the winter. I hand over my cash and the gentleman says God Bless to me. I'm not getting blessings on Long Island! When I came home, my wife made the perfect Sunday dinner. Those raviolis came straight from the 70s. Simply perfect. God Bless us, everyone.

There's a small section with groceries. They always have creative window displays. Service is helpful and can be informative.

This was my second visit here, and although it was far from my home, shout out to Adrian, who helped me with my order today and gave me a good customer service experience. I think I'll make more visits during the summer. Maybe I will even dine in and try the chicken and waffles that they have on the menu. They do have one little table and chair set that I would hope to sit in. I hope they can open up more locations because Wow! So good! Don't believe me, just go get yourself some, they have three locations, choose one and go. Two thumbs up! Happy Yelping!

My all time favorite is the Cinnamon Sugar but on occasion you can find specialty donuts like the out of this world Guava & Cheese .

I was in town recently and decided to make the trek to visit Lloyds to try their carrot cake in the…read moreOG bakery instead of the Manhattan location, which I've previously visited. I ordered their classic carrot cake with raisins. The cake was moist, warm, and not too sweet. My only pet peeve is I wish the cake was two layers so that the frosting was in the middle as well. I would have also appreciated a tangier cream cheese frosting. All that to say, it was not the best carrot cake I've ever had but it was pretty damn good and they're a Bronx institution.

I was finally in the area and stopped by for a sweet treat. This location isn't quite your typical bakery where they have cakes and desserts on display and seating. It's a no frills, grab-and-go type of place. As for the carrot cake, it's soft, tastes homemade, and if you don't have an allergy or preference, definitely get the one with walnuts & raisins. The carrot cake was soft and the crunchiness of the walnuts complimented the texture well. I wish the cake was a bit more moist or fresh but the flavors were definitely there and the cream cheese frosting was so balanced yet decadent. Good try!
