    Arancini
    P B.

    This place is a big deal. One of the last standing real Italian bakery(now also pizzeria) in Sunset Park.Lovely people and very attentive behind the counter. You feel(and hear)the Italian spirit in the air. Amazing bread,delicious pastry and also just since a few months fantastic pizza.Fantastic Arancini,like you can see in the pic. I recommend a grandma slice,thin and light as paper. The sauce is so good and not full of sugar like many other places do. Also,you should try the hero sandwiches..oh my!!!!!!!!!! What are you waiting for?!?!??

    My favorite slice! Fresh mozzarella

    I visit this bakery and pizzeria every time I visit NYC. The food is delicious and the staff are SO nice. Seriously, the atmosphere is classic Italian with all the warmth of a family-run business. I don't know if it is or not, but that's how it strikes me. Every staff member in the bakery greets me and wishes me well when I leave and thanks me. I feel so great supporting this business and even better about stuffing my face with their delicious pizza and baked goods. The fresh mozzarella is my favorite slice, but it's all delicious, and anything you order is a good choice. I'll be back very soon...tomorrow probably.

    Finally! Pizza made by Italians! This is one of the last real-deals in town. Great slices!

    I stopped in for a couple of slices and got a Sicilian and grandma. I'm usually not a fan of Sicilian slices, but this was actually excellent. The grandma slice also hit the spot. The price of each slice was $3, which also isn't bad compared to other places. They've also got a nice selection of baked goods that I'll have to try one day.

    This bakery have a 4 star review... so I decided to order a cake online and get it delivered for Father's Day. And it was just a plain cake no "happy Father's Day" writing on it. It's kinda disappointing that I paid so much for the cake and the taste is weird. We got strawberry shortcake and pineapple but it's like jam in between the cake. Maybe I don't understand the concept of the cake but I don't like it. It's not bad just not a typical cake you would get.

    Cream puff

    Stopped by with my friend because she wanted to pick up some Italian bread. The staff greeted us and was patient while we looked around. Their displays were lined with so many yummy looking desserts I had to try one. I got a cream puff and it was decently sized. The pastry was really good! The puff was soft and the cream tasted like ice cream!! I can't say how the other items were, but I'd definitely be back to try them!

    I love Generoso's awhen i left Queens It took me a while to find an authentic Italian bakery in Brooklyn. And if you are like me, there is no need to look any further. They have great butter cookies, rainbow cookies and linzer tarts. Besides the great pastries they have some great cheesecakes. If you're in the neighborhood and are feeling like having a sandwich, they have a great Italian sandwich that will keep you coming back all the time. And the owner and his wife are total sweethearts, they are always friendly and always happy to help with a smile. Please dont forget to adhere to proper social distancing protocols!

    Heard great things about this bakery but was suddenly disappointed.Theres not enough variety to pick from .Cannolis were good though.Ordered 10$ of cookies. Got like 5$ worth in my opinion.Just go to Staten Island's italian bakeries you'll get more high quality ingredients for your money and a little more on your pastry box.Got charged for Using Card. I'd only come here for cannolis.

    Chocolate chip canolli
    Mei C.

    Came here after reading a few Yelp reviews. Place is old and dimmly lit. Display showed a vast array of Italian cookies, breads, but not a lot of selections on pastries. Got their Chocolate chip canolli, and their huge Almond Mazapan Cookie. The Almond cookie tasted really good because of the size it took me two days to completely finish the cookie. Price is average around Brooklyn. Might come back for the cookie but nothing else from this place stands out.

    small cheesecake and eclair!

    One of the only Italian bakeries left in Sunset Park. When you walk in, you are greeted by a lovely old Italian grandma who says, "GOOD MORNING." When I ask her what's good, she says, "EVERYTHING." Like the service, the pastries are sweet, but not overly sweet. Since discovering this bakery in the midst of Mexican restaurants of Sunset Park, I can tell it is very special. It delivers all you could want from a bakery like Veniero's, but it doesn't have the hype surrounded it. This keeps the prices low and our bellies full. After selecting a series of cakes, I must say I cannot choose a favorite. The strawberry shortcake was very rich, almost like a wedding cake. The strawberry jelly enhanced the flavor of the butter cream just a bit. The tiramisu was perfumed with liquor and had traces of salt and other spices. The chocolate mousse was light and airy and full of flavor. The cookies are fresh and delicious. This Italian family definitely knows what they are doing and have been doing it for years.

    Birthday cakes for pick up.

    I went in to order two cakes today. I went early in the morning. It's a small little shop. I'm due to pick up my cakes Saturday. They're pretty busy so I hope the cakes come out great. They're very kind and generous. They took their time to take my order regardless of the length of people lined up to get their morning coffee. I hope all the reviews are true to their taste buds. I'll update my review once I've received and sliced my cakes. Pictures to follow. Follow up. I lied about the pictures. Hahaha I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the cakes prior to being cut. But I ordered a chocolate and vanilla cake. Somehow I expected the actual bread/cake part to be two different layers of each flavor...but no. It was the custard. So that cake was okay. Moist. Not that crazy over it. The kids didn't like it much. The second cake was better. Strawberry shortcake. Full of more preserved strawberries. The adults liked it.

    Originally $12 owner sold it to me for $10. Was a whole pie my nieces had sum and loved it.

    First time coming in person (I have been spoiled and a fantastic coworker would bring in different…read moretreats from here on occasion). The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

    Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy…read more I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

    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!

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and noticed the line was surprisingly short, so we decided to…read morehop in. We only waited about 10 minutes before it was our turn to order. 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.
