    Rainbow Cookies
    Sarah T.

    I've only ever been here for their rainbow cookies, they're my favorite rainbow cookies in New York City! Can be crowded and busy but the staff is efficient and nice enough.

    Went on the weekend during the afternoon not and the line wasnt that long. It is very expensive. The cookies we tried were ok a little dry and service was eh.

    Very much a tourist trap in nyc lol but still an experience. My friend and I stopped in after a day of shopping in Chinatown and we got two coffees and an Italian cheesecake. Somehow that equaled 40 dollars. Now I live in north Jersey with access to a ton of great Italian bakeries and maybe that spoils me but this was a very mid experience. The coffee was alright, nothing that took my breath away. The Italian cheesecake was just ok. Service was good, nothing over the top. The place itself is beautiful. It's a good spot to just sit and relax for a while during a busy day in the city but it definitely comes at a cost!

    Still going strong with great quality pastries. Took a quick walk from my office to get some steps in and got 1/4 of rainbow cookies and 2 connolis to nibble the next couple of days with my husband. So good, flavors don't change, what did increase was the cost of course. It was 8.00 for 5 very small rainbow cookies :/ but I was ok with it since it was a treat. The bakery is pretty, nice size for NYC, clean and always great service. Since it was mid day it was not crowded.

    Came for a cannoli and was disappointed. The shell was hard as a rock but the filling was good. Also got the lobster claw and that was better. Service was a little slow because the one person at the register is doing drinks too. But she was so friendly!

    In Ferrara, I got their cannoli, zeppoli, and their chocolate slice. I enjoyed the chocolate slice, but the standout for me was the cannoli here! I find it to be extremely crispy!

    Tucked away in Little Italy this cute little space is a great place for afterndinner drinks and dessert. The staff was super friendly We had the regular cannon and the new york cheesecake with strawberries which were delectable.we also had the Tiramisu Martini and Irish coffee which were equally tasty and quite strong.

    Stopped into Ferrara Bakery with a friend after an afternoon exploring Chinatown and Little Italy. It's a large, bustling space where you can grab pastries, and a variety of other desserts to go or sit down in the café. There's lots of seating and the atmosphere feels lively and classic. We had already eaten, so we just picked up a hand-dipped, chocolate-covered cannoli to go. There was a bit of a line but moved very quickly, and the service was efficient. I ate the cannoli when I got home, it was fresh, delicious, and my first time trying one dipped in chocolate. Definitely worth it! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the neighborhood, whether you want to sit down with coffee and a sweet treat or grab dessert to go.

    Always top tier for Italian goodies. Great service in the heart of NYC's Little Italy. I always take Cannolis home for my family. The hot chocolate was unreal! Carrot cake YUM! True NYC experience.

    Located in the heart of "Little Italy" Ferrari's has been in business for 130 years. They were one of the first bakery's in New York. You can get almost any Italian deserts you've ever heard of here. They offer gelato, all kinds of pastries, breakfast pizza and French toast on their brunch menus. They will ship nationwide and will cater to your every need. I stopped by for some gelato. They are a little pricey although you get to enjoy all the tourists in the rates. I would recommend them for at least a one time experience

    Cannolo Siciliano
    Betsy J.

    Excellent cannoli and gelato. Not too sweet and nice consistency. Can taste the freshness

    You absolutely must get one of these crispy delicacies. They are surprisingly weighty, and absolutely stuffed with a beautiful, thick cream.

    Lobster tail or else!!!! TRUST! The lobster tail was one of the best patries I've EVER had! And that distinction includes the likes of pastries from cities like Paris, Copenhagen, Lisbon, and Barcelona! Ferrara you rock!!!! My only regret was not buying more from here. The lobster tail is a long, cone-shaped pastry that is soft on the inside and beautifully crispy on the outside. Inside this behemoth is a wealth of delicious, robust cream. The lobster tail is a showstopper. As I stood on the street savoring my first bite, someone from a neighboring business yelled out, "Whoooooaaa, what is THAT?!". After breaking down the situation, as cream oozed off the side of my face (hard pause), the guy exclaimed, "Oh, I'm definitely getting one of those!" We also had some delicious pignoli cookies, that we also wish we had gotten more of. We decided to pop in right before we left NYC to grab some of their Honey Almond Pistachio nougat....dear Lord...as Busta Rhymes would say, "GET YOU SOME!". Get some for friends too because they'll love it. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to try their gelato, but I certainly will the next time. The only thing that I would say is, be careful if you're gluten free or have Celiac's disease. The pignoli cookies are made in- house, along with the other glutenous pastries, but are supposedly gluten free. When I was asking questions to see if I'd buy some pignoli's for a gluten sensitive friend, the person behind the counter didn't know what Celiac's was. As I was attempting to inquire about cross-contamination, the associate just continued to assert they were gluten free. In this case, I decided not to take the chance, as I didn't want them getting sick. Overall, I can't wait to get back. I just hope they're accurately describing their gluten free products. Thanks to the cast and crew at Ferrara!

    This Italian bakery was recommended to us by the front desk at NobleDen Hotel, where we stayed. When they said their pastries were INCREDIBLE, they weren't exaggerating! The bakery was filled with Italian goodies: pastries, Italian nougats, gelato, espresso, and even Italian limoncello. It had a touristy vibe, with a gelato case at the storefront and a plethora of trinkets for sale upon entering. The morning of our departure, we quickly grabbed a sfogliatelle, which is a flaky pastry resembling a lobster tail, but half the size. It was filled with ricotta cheese and candied citrus peels. Very yummy and not at all oily. The pastry was so crispy and flaky with just a hint of sweetness from the ricotta filling. Truly delicate and a delight to eat. The other pastries looked very good, too! Only wish I had more time to try them. Highly recommend this bakery!

He had never been to a gelato and I suggested it! (I've been to one other location) The second you walk, the place feels lavish. The storefront is pristine and gorgeously furnished. The chocolatiers/gelatieres are so warm and one walked up to us while we in line and explained the size options and options for what they will coat our cups and cones with - I think the options were dark chocolate or hazelnut. You also are able to sample any flavors before choosing! Being that I just ate, I got myself a small treat, a "baby" cup of pistachio gelato. They had the Dubai chocolate pistachio flavor as well, but I felt that one was too sweet for my liking. I was very happy with my pistachio! My sister in law enjoyed fruity gelatos and my brother a rich, dark chocolate. Every gelato comes with a chocolate, which is a nice added touch. The store was clean, the workers very hospitable and the gelato delicious and authentic! Thank you Venchi for an awesome experience, as always!

Couldn't even finish the cone itself because it tasted so bad. Just cone for the picture and that's it to be honest, nothing else going for it, prefer others in the city!

A perfect sweet treat :) Medium size is good for 2 or even 3 people if you don't want too much. They stack your cup sooo high! I came back in less than 1 week. It was a Sunday after dinner and a very humid hot day and the line was sooo long out the door omg. I got a small with hazelnut crunch that might be my new favorite flavor! I also got the stracciatella, but that one was too creamy for me. Also they LOADED my cup, it was definitely too much to finish alone. Interior has a good amount of seating, and I was able to get one both times!
