L'Arte Della Pasticerria. La Verita. This place is simply the truth. It's like transporting yourself back to the motherland. Many try to emulate, many fail. They, here, succeed. Accurate by look - Accurate by feel - Accurate by taste. Nice staff. Great downtown location. Cakes. Panini. Pastries. Gelati. The Baba Al Rum is a fam fav. Tricolore are lovely. Castagnole. Limoncelli Siciliani. The Conetti Gelato. I lay back on the patio set chair. I sniff the air. It smells like my grandmothers cutlets. She's yelling at me in dialect. I pretend to understand her and shout "basta." I fake smoke a non-existent beautifully crafted cigar. Gel in my hair - slicked back to he best of my ability. The ability is low, it looks awful. Sunglasses, but the clouds overrun the sky. My chain hangs low, it's too big I refuse to get it resized. I'm licking a pistachio conetto gelato. I've got L'Arte cookies in both hands. So do my family members. It's somebodies birthday. Somewhere. It's an excuse to get together. Where am I? I'm home. That's life. That's Art. L'Arte is number 1. Get down to Ramsey and experience this 5/5 experience. read more

This is such a cute little place. It was my first time here. it was a little fancy for me lol but the desserts were delicious. Definitely a little pricey, but it's worth it. Got to meet the chef as well. Who was there when I was at the establishment the first time. Very talented. Besides the desserts, you can get yummy sandwiches, different drinks and coffees, but it's definitely a cute little place to go for lunch or if you're in the neighborhood. What a cute town. Stop by if you're in the mood for some tasty treats. read more

L'arte is a charming spot that has quickly become one of my go-to cafes. Their iced coffee is a standout, made with coffee ice cubes that keep it flavorful to the last drop--such a genius touch! The pastries are incredible, and I appreciate that they offer a few gluten-free options. We often order lunch here, and it's always delicious. The only downside is that they don't allow any customizations on the paninis, which I understand but can be a little limiting. My go to is their caprese panini which is perfectly sized and portioned. The only downside was they wouldn't allow me to add chicken for a source of protein. Service is friendly and helpful, many times there is a long line but they move fast. Usually the girls behind the counter are younger and sometimes a bit spacey but they mean well and you just need to be a little patient sometimes. The cozy seating, both inside and outside, makes it a perfect spot to relax. Overall, a wonderful cafe experience! read more

amazing bakery! the staff is quick to greet you & overall very friendly. the shop has a limited but diverse array of sweet treats & cakes. there is also a freezer with some frozen desserts! some booth & chair seating line the bakery, which makes for inviting conversation with company. ordered some cookies & chocolate bark, as well as an affogato (vanilla gelato with 1 shot of espresso) - all delish ! the affogato was perfect. ordered cakes here in the past and they have been sinfully delicious (the chocolate overload cake of fudge, ganache, and buttercream is the fan fav). read more

After spending a week in Sicily, I'm so happy to have discovered a bakery that will help me miss the food a little less! Just having pistachio cream options makes me happy! It's nice and clean inside, service is great - lots of patience for an undecided pastry lover haha My bf got the Italian Grilled Cheese (w/o pancetta), they bake the bread on site and it has the perfect crunchy exterior while still easy to bite through! Looking forward to going back and hopefully getting a Pistachio Cornetto before they sell out! read more

Tried L'Arte Della Pasticceria with friends recently. I've been meaning to try this place for a while. I was stuffed from a nearby dinner, so I didn't try as much as I wanted. That said, I can still report on what I experienced. First impression, the place is absolutely gleaming. Clean and modern, with gorgeous cases filled with beautiful pastries and colorful gelato. The service was extremely friendly, they let my friends try a comical amount of gelato flavors. I selected their two types of mini cannolis. The chocolate dusted one has pastry cream and the pistachio dusted has the traditional cannoli filling. Both were quite good, if I had to quibble at all, they would benefit from being filled to order. (I understand why they don't in a busy shop) My friends absolutely loved their gelato. I'll certainly return to try more dessert and to give their coffee a shot! read more

My son and I visited this amazing cafe in the fall of 2023, and I've wanted to come back ever since. Usually everything is closed in Ramsey on Sundays, but what an incredible stroke of luck for us that this cafe was open on Easter Sunday! I ordered their "Egg in the Basket" while my husband ordered fried egg on a brioche, with coffee and Earl Grey tea for accompaniment. The Egg in the Basket was so skilfully cooked that at first my husband had trouble believing there was an egg inside what looked like a nicely toasted piece of bread :-). When I bit into it, the yoke ran out - what perfection! I love soft cooked eggs! While our breakfast was being prepared in the kitchen, I scanned their massive selection of desserts and decided on two items: Treccina Crema e Noci and Tartufo el Cioccolato. They were both delightful but the chocolate cream puff was definitely the champion! Even though there was a sign "No Table Service Today" - everything was handed out in take-out boxes - the waiting staff still brought our coffee and tea to the table, and later on gave us metal utensils. Although it was quite busy, the customers always received immediate attention from the battalion of staff behind the counter. We will definitely come back to try more items, and pack home some of their bread too! read more

Cute bakery in town with friendly staff! Lots of options to choose from, even near closing time at 9pm on a weekday, which is pretty late for a bakery. The baked goods were still very fresh and very aesthetically pleasing. I really liked the richness of the trio de cioccolato, and it wasn't too sweet. Although I did feel the base of the pastry was a little too dry. They also let us have a few baked goods on the house because they didn't want to have to throw away anything at closing, which I really appreciated! Will be back if I'm in the area! read more

I have visited L'Arte often for excellent coffee, cake, and pastries. For special occasions, I ordered the Italian cheesecake and apple pie. Both were delicious! I really enjoyed ALL of the cookies I took home. My all time favorite cookies are the cucciddati or fig cookies and the pignoli cookies. I've also enjoyed a quality chicken panini. There are savory items you can order. Definitely check out L'Arte if you are in the area. It's an excellent atmosphere with outdoor seating available. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

In downtown Ramsey lies a gem. If you have a sweet tooth this is place to come. This bakery also offers a savory menu which is a plus. There are small tables that line the walls of the shop with a large center counter filled with the most delicious desserts. Sadly there are no gluten free options of bread. We decided to grab lunch and I had the apple arugula salad and chamomile hot tea. The almond flour cake that's a must. It's not too sweet and does not leave you feeling guilty. This place has so much to offer. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Finding parking on the street is your only challenge. Bon appétit read more

I custom ordered a heart shape birthday cake here and it was delicious! Chocolate cake with chocolate cream and raspberry jam filling, pink vanilla cream icing. It was really really really the most scrumptious cake I have tried in this area! Everyone at the birthday party said that they love the cake and asked where I got it from. The chocolate cake was full of chocolate flavor and not so sweet where you'd just taste the sugar. The cake was so good that I went back a few days later to try their pastries. I got their most popular crumb cake, pistachio mousse cake, chocolate with vanilla filing cream puff and vanilla as vanilla with chocolate filling cream puff, and cannolis . I love the pistachio cannoli read more

Horrible Service, Above average cake... I Was excited to order a special B-Day cake (confirmed twice with the manager) well in advance for my mother's special milestone celebration. Our large group had a 530pm reservation across the street at Café Panache restaurant, and when I arrived at 525pm to pick up the cake, the counter attendants couldn't find my cake anywhere in the place. Turns out, they never prepared my order, so they grabbed a pre-made cake from the display and I had to wait 20 minutes for them to write her name on the cake... My dinner party, and the restaurant were not amused that I was 20 minutes late for the reservation, and held up the process of ordering... The cake was good, but not great... The Service and professionalism was horrible... BE WARNED!!! read more

Delicious, fancy pastries, gelato, coffee and paninis. I got the "chef's kiss", which was a miniature, rich, velvety textured chocolate cake confection with a delicate touch of raspberry jam, a chocolate eclair, and a decaf americano. They also have some great panini on the menu, which I'm looking forward to trying the next time. They also do fancy, custom cakes!! Atmosphere at 9pm on a Saturday night was pleasantly chatty with nice music playing in the background. Decor is cute, with decorated masquerade masks hanging in one wall, pleasant lighting, and greenery tumbling down another. Lots of tables for two, plus one large group table in the back, plus outdoor seating. Would be a cute date night stop, as well as a great place to get lunch, ice cream, coffee or other treats at pretty much any other time. read more

We ordered a birthday cake for my kid and the staff was very courteous and friendly when taking the order, made it easy to order and accommodated the Harry Potter cake design we asked, it was not exactly how we wanted it but the end result was really nice anyway. The main reason for a five star rating is how good the cake tasted, their chocolate cake is perfect and I would definitely recommend this place again! We got compliments from our guests and we loved the cake too. The cake shop is cute with nice ambience! Thank you! read more

Pricey desserts/food, elegant atmosphere that's not stuffy We came here for dessert and they had quite a few options. Nothing was priced, which means $$$. They have a selection of cakes, cookies, bread, Gelato, drinks. They had only a few vegan items. The only negative was the Chai latte which tasted like water; i didn't see a tea bag so likely they forgot it. By the time I realized, it was too late to go back. read more

I really wanted to like this place but other than the decor (very authentic) it s not even worth $5 of the $20 I spent on 2 croissants and 2 cappuccinos. The Croissants are the same as the chewy ones you buy frozen from the store. Not to mention the chocolate one has as little cream as you can get . The cappuccino was the most embarrassing I have ever seen, no foam, watery has ever and the waitress brought it over all overflown in the little plate underneath (she was super nice, but, really?!). I asked her to re make it with more creamy foam, she brings it over identical, so I gave up. I honestly feel ripped off. read more

I came here because of all the great reviews. Perhaps, I came here on a bad day, and the pastry chef took off for the holiday weekend. I bought a brown butter Nutella cookie and a Nutella filled crumb cake. They tasted like they were made the day before Thanksgiving on Wednesday and didn't sell. Today is Saturday. I'm guessing the pastry chef took off for the holiday weekend, and just left whatever leftovers she had to sell for the weekend. I can tell the crumb cake filled with Nutella would of been delicious if it were had been made today. I'd still come back and try their desserts on another day because of the great reviews. read more

I was excited to try this place but left disappointed and uneased. I must have done something unforgivable to the lady behind the cashier to be greeted with rudeness. My first time here never met her in my life I didn't finished my ordered and she already made my latte, which I didn't even get the chance to let her know I wanted to use half and half for my latte. When I pointed it out to her. She was like, "we already made it, well, we can remake it." At this point, her attitude already made me felt so unease. I just don't want anymore interaction with her. I should've just walk out since I didn't complete the order with payment. Anyway, pasties are good but definitely not worth the bad feelings. Life is too short to made feel like sh*t. On top of that, the latte was extremely tasteless, luke warm (almost forgot to mention how do you just made the latte and it is luke warm?? Made it yesterday??), and ugly looking. Yes, ugly looking, if you are latte lover like me then you will know what I mean. read more

March 2023. I remain a big fan of L'Arte and saw over the last year some very good authentic talent there. However some constructive remarks here - San Giuseppe zeppole were have to say remarkably bad. I've had better at shop rite bakery. Taking their scratch made pastry and filling it with pastry cream / so far so good - but then putting hard white chocolate icing on it and topping it with an industrial grade chem ridden "cherry" is crazy. Especially for this shop with great Sicilian tradition. They also didn't say it had that icing on it. Second was the Baba - great well made pastry again but soaked in cheap industrial rum flavoring and then providing a squeeze bottle of artificial lemon flavor makes me wonder where the shop rite pastry chef went to .... Hmmm. I keep my 4 star review. Not many scratch bakeries around but for San G zeppole I May try Uncle G ! Not really but wow. .. read more

We have eaten here many times for lunch or dessert and the food is always good. We chose to do our wedding cake through them and the process was effortless. We were given perfect portions for tasting and everything had great flavor. In the end we chose lemoncello with less frosting than a traditional cake. It can put beautifully and our guests loved it. read more

let's start with ambiance, nicely done. very nice inside white decor, tables along the wall and two in each window. lovely coffee shop. Service, depends on the night and who is working. Sometimes it pleasant and sometimes it's not. Service is not very consistent. i have been coming here since it opened and I feel it was much better and better tasting at the beginning. A few times I have brought fiends here and they are never impressed tonight I purchased the following; Cannoli, soggy shell Trio Di Cioccoleto Mousse Square- way to much mousse TriColore - we all over tricolor cookies. theirs were a bit bigger than usual and ok. might of been the best i ordered. Castagnole- a donut type pasty with a ricotta filling. it was and overload of cannoli cream. more filling than pasty. took most of it out before i ate it. Sfogliatella, a classic, not here. not worth the purchase Gelato, expresso, very good. and i ordered vanilla with Italian cherries. very good but barely any cherry syrup and absolutely no cherries. The gelato came with a cute heart shaped butter cookie on top, yet it tasted like the fridge. Not that my suggestions would steer them in any direction, due to they have a following which to appears to be people that are unfamiliar with real Italian pastries. But cut back in the fancy boxes and put more into the true essence of your product. This place was so much better when they first opened. read more

Cookies by the pound are so delicious and fresh here. Everything baked on site and done every day. The girls are always so helpful and we always do a variety of their cookies. Hazelnut and lemon butter cookies are fav of ours. Buttery, crumbly and perfectly not oversweetened. Two outdoor tables available to indulge right away with a cup of tea or espresso. They are also open until 10pm which is awesome for an after dinner treat. read more
