The rainbow cookies were not as dense as others ive had in the past. These were lighter. The star of the show was the canoli. They freshly pipe them as you order. Im not a huge canoli person but these are the best ive had. I love the hint of cinnamon I taste in the cream. Will definitely stop by for more.

We ordered some Regina cookies and toasts. The cookies and toasts were delicious and fresh. My family also ordered their cannolis and they were filled to order. They said the cannoli was great as well. Surprisingly, we had their olive bread at Enzo's since it was in the bread basket. It was delicious and I really enjoyed the cured olives. I definitely have to come back to try their charcuterie bread and rainbow cookies.

During the time we spent in the Bronx, we came to this pastry shop two times. Once for gelato and…read moreonce for cannolis. Compare to other cannoli shops on Arthur Avenue this place had ample indoor seating. One of the times we were here, we even saw a giant group of Bronx firefighters enjoying some dessert. Definitely a good sign that this place is worth it. The mango gelato was really refreshing on a hot summer day in New York and I really appreciated that the cannolis were available in small or larger sizes. After a day of sampling as many cannolis as I possibly could on Arthur Avenue, I was glad to have the option of eating a smaller one. Top-notch spot and I would definitely come back

Right next to Casa della Mozzarella, we stopped in for a cappuccino and a treat and ended up…read moreleaving with a tiramisu and tres leches. I was a bit disappointed that the tiramisu was very light on flavor, especially in the ladyfingers. However, the cappuccino was delicious and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The tres leches was divine... one of the best I've ever had. The servers are all very sweet and talkative! The shop has seating inside and outside, it's a charming little spot.

All in all, fantastic service! -Price- I was having such a good time I honestly was not paying any attention to the prices lol. Looking back at my bank statements, prices are similar to any other establishment these days, but felt more valuable if that makes sense lol -Did Not Like- N/A! -Noteworthy- See service! -Recommend- Yes!

I happened to be in the Bronx and lo and behold, Gino's appeared. Actually, my friend was shopping at the bakery a few days before while talking with me on the phone. I asked her to ask if they made cannolis because I've been craving them for months, but didn't want mediocre pastries. People, please know that Gino's is cannoli heaven, and they surpassed my expectations. They had mini cannoli, chocolate dipped cannoli, etc. I understand that they also make a killer pistachio dipped cannoli!!! Gonna try the pistachio next time for sure. In the meantime, I am glad that they are not close to home... CALORIES LOL!

They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites! He also had the gnocchi and I don't think he took a breath while eating it. Definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

The Mediterranean salad had no tomatoes or cucumbers which is pretty standard in a Mediterranean salad. No bread came on the side. Typical Italian restaurants will always provide a bread on the side. The chicken was ok. The seafood pasta lacked flavor. It's as if the seafood was just boiled without lemon, butter, wine etc. it had no flavor ! I requested utensils and to go items (plates, napkins) and the ordered came with nothing. Big disappointment won't be returning.

If you're in Little Italy in The BX, Gene Bean's your sweet tooth's paradise! This Arthur Ave spot…read moreis your answer for ice cream, Zeppoles, Churros (yeah...those too) and of course- Italian Icee. Hubs and I had the most decadent Lemon Italian Icee at an old-time pizzeria in Brooklyn not long ago. Since then, they've been our trustworthy blueprint for Lemon Icee. Gene Bean's located inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market and came up as "Ice Cream and Sorbet"- offering other sweet treats too. A big check mark for these guys because these Zeppoles are fresh and fried on the spot- but were heavy and thick- missing that true, light feel. Our Italian Icee experience was decent though. When everything was said and done, popping the trunk to enjoy our treats, was a nice ending in Little Italy at night.

The cups for the scoops didn't have lids that fit, so I ended up tying individual plastic bags around each and hoping it would work.

Though again, the staff seemed confused how to make it and kept asking me which ice cream flavor and how many espresso shots. I'd go back for an affogato in the future, in house only.

One thing to keep in mind: street parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, so plan ahead and give yourself a few extra minutes. Overall, a pleasant local coffee spot that's worth checking out if you're in the area.
