Obviously loved by many loyal customers. The place is small. There is an adjacent area with the sign above it that appears to have been gone unused for quite some time. Service was not great. The rainbow cookies I did get were different from others I have had elsewhere and I could not detect any jelly in between the layers. There was also a chemical like taste-most likely a cheap sugar alcohol. Not to my liking. The other 2 cookies were ok,but nothing I would come for again. Only on street parking. I do not plan to return and would recommend venturing elsewhere. read more

if you believe you should be getting fresh not still frozen cookies then look elsewhere, I was visiting from out of town and really looking forward to pignoli cookies. they were very expensive but I purchased them anyway. when I opened the bag a short while later I saw that they were still frozen. not to mention the place is dumpy and in a sketchy neighborhood. sad, disappointing and a pricey mistake. read more

I love this place and hope it reopens in January. It was closed when I drove by and want a cake or cookies for my mother.

DelPrete has the best, by far, ever, Cannoli cake. I am hoping that reopening is not just a rumor & I will be THRILLED if/when you do!!!!

Every year we get our meat pies from there for Easter as well as a couple other pastries, always delicious. I haven't had a time yet where we got something bad. The staff is very friendly and are willing to go out of their way to help. read more

Their Italian rum cake is honestly the best cake you can ever have! We've been eating this cake for family birthdays for years and years. The absolute best there is. read more

The Italian cookies were not tasty at all. They were not fresh. The service was so slow. They had a woman talking in the back, all while a huge order was being placed with no one helping. The food was just not good! Head down to Dimare for a REAL Italian bakery. read more

The best Italian bakery in Bridgeport ct. amazing cannoli (chocolate covered cannoli are amazing). I'll soon return to try their eclair.

The baked goods are always fresh and consistently what the quality and flavor I expect with every visit!! Service is polite and willing to accommodate your requests. The bakery opened in1947 and I was born in 1948 and have had a rum cake every yr. For my birthday!!! read more

They really need a better system of ordering and picking up. They write everything down in a big book. For the holidays, you order ahead and STILL have to wait in line to pick up, 2 hours!! Sent someone to pick up cookies and pastries that were ordered last week and they insisted we only ordered cookies. They quoted my husband $204 , and asked If we wanted heavy on the mini cannolis , he remembers the exact conversation. How about investing in a computer system with order numbers and receipts? Second time making a mistake. A couple of years ago, we ordered AND paid for a cake for our daughters surprise birthday party. Picking up the cake the night of the party, no cake. They wrote it down (again in the book) on the wrong date. They actually wrote it down for the same day we ordered instead of the following week. Good pastries but it's not worth the aggravation. read more

You have no idea how lucky you are to live near Del Prete until you move away and find there's no place like home. Seriously, a true NE gem is our bakeries. I've been coming to Del Prete since my Grand Mother walked me across the street every Sunday after mass at ST Pats. I loved forward to this every Sunday. There's no need to mention the breads, rolls, or cookies because there's no comparison. This is what all over are measured against. Simply the best. Come get you some read more

Went here today and was disappointed! Not many pastries to choose from not greeted by an unhappy clerk and tasteless cookies! Holding out hope that the rest of the pastries might be good. I won't be back! Spent $92.00 for terrible service and product read more

Submitted an order for a cake about 4 business days in advance. Asked for rum cake with whipped cream icing. I made it a point to confirm with the gentleman who took the order that they would, in fact, frost the cake with whipped cream, and he assured me that all of their rum cakes are. OK, great. I pick up the cake, and at first look and taste, I knew immediately that it was frosted with whipped topping and not whipped cream. Major difference. It had the horrible aftertaste of the hydrogenated vegetable oil garbage that comes from toppings like Cool Whip or Rich's Bettercreme. If I had been told that they use artificial whipped cream and that there would be an upcharge for REAL whipped cream, I would have gladly paid it without issue. But in this case, it's the failure to disclose that closed the book on me ever giving Del Prete another thought, much less another dollar. read more

I love it here. Grew up in the Belmont section of the Bronx and now live in Wooster Square in New Haven. I think Del Prete's is ranked right up there with any of the spots in those neighborhoods. The girls behind the counter are fantastic and really helpful. read more

If you've never had cannoli cake ... this is the place to get it! You might need to spend a few days I'm the gym to work off the calories but IT IS WORTH IT! read more

Del Prete Italian Pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

The best period My favorites are cannolis, casada,and Bungelow cake. The only suggestion is order Bungelow cake before weekends I had to go somewhere else to get one because I ordered on Saturday for Sunday and was told no special cakes orders on weekends so for the first time we had to do elsewhere only to be disappointed . So now I ll call on Thursday for a weekend cake read more

We moved to CT from NY and needed an authentic Italian bakery for our first Christmas Eve order. This place did not disappoint even in a Covid year. We went for our old faithfuls but obviously asked those in line what their "can't miss" items are. Added extra in and everything was awesome! We just came back for our easter desserts today. Definitely a new staple. read more

This place is an old school Italian gem, I needed a last minute strawberry short cake and they were able to make it the same day unlike the other bakeries where they need a 24hr to 48 hr notice to order for the cake. The cake was fresh and delicious and I also decided to try the rainbow cookies and pumpkin cannolis and they were dellishhhh! Thanks Stacy! read more

What a little gem in Bridgeport! Cannolis and eclairs galore! It brings me back to my childhood when my nana would take me to a bakery. Doing Old school very well!! read more

Quality and consistency are what I look for in places and what make me return. Del Prete is the gold standard of Italian desserts. I cannot get enough of their cannoli cake. It is delicious. I prefer it with half chocolate shots and half almonds, because they're both so good I can't decide which I prefer. THE BEST!!! read more

Let me start by saying NO one makes better Italian pastries then Del Prete's .... NO one!! My husband claims that New Haven is better, so sometimes, I entertain myself by taking the challenge. Our latest challenge was St. Joseph zeppole. When I first took the ones that my husband purchased out of the box, I was impressed. They were bigger then Del Prete's, and looked pretty good. I then cut each into pieces, and had 6 people taste (not knowing which were which). Four people said that the New Haven's Lucibello zeppole were pretty good, 2 of us disliked them . 6/6 said that hands down Del Prete's zeppole were amazing !!!! So, it's not the size that matters. I say if you live in New Haven or in any other part of New England, it's worth driving to Bridgeport! Louie you're the best!! read more

What a great place! I'm saying this after waiting an hour online to get in, and not ordering ahead and them being sold out of theCassada cake and cannoli chip platters ! We found plenty of options to choose from ! Gluten free cookies for my baby, a container of cannoli cream, warm stogliatelle ! The workers are so friendly and have been working around the clock! Note to self, order next year! read more
