If you are an Italian/Italian-American, this place will feel like your home away from home. They have every sort of staple you would need - Jordan almonds, cannoli, Sfogliatella, etc. Of course, most local grocery stores sell similar types of cookies that they have here but La Deliziosa has more of a variety and they're more fresh. Well worth it. The area itself is sort of a throwback. It's like time forgot it for awhile then once the new walking bridge was enacted, the area started modernizing a bit but still kept its charm. I don't live around here anymore but any time I'm in the area, I make sure to stop by and buy $20's worth of desserts to put into my luggage. Obviously, it doesn't keep very well but it's still pretty damn good. read more

best tiramisu in poughkeepsie, hands down. best in terms of taste and value. good service.

Great place. Reminds me of Brooklyn shops. Large array of pastries, my favorite is the almond cigar. Must wear mask and social distancing followed. read more

Went to this bakery after all of the positive Yelp reviews. We ordered a pound of assorted cookies, a black and white cookie, and another pastry. The place smelled really good and everything looked really good. I want to try a bunch of the stuff here and settled on cookies and a pastry that other customers seemed to be buying so we went with the flow. The black and white cookie was too dry. The frosting was good but the cookie itself was way too dry. The assorted cookies were good. A few stood out as better than others but they were all generally good, nothing great. The pastry was good, nothing I am running back for. There's plenty of street parking and the women working there were all very helpful and friendly. This place seems to get the best reviews for bakeries in the area. Im still searching, for me this isn't tops read more

Really disappointed! Pastries seem old and stale. The custard was soured in the mini pastries. We shopped on a Friday so maybe the fresh stuff comes out on Saturday. read more

Excellent selection of authentic Italian cookies and pastries. Some favorites are pignoli cookies, amaretti, biscotti, taralli, and cannoli They even sell cannoli chips with the cream for dipping! They also make the BEST sfogliatelle on the weekends. Get there early to get one right out of the oven! Truly, the best in the area! read more

My uncle LOVES the apple turnovers ONLY from here so I'm about to call and reserve a few. They are so kind about putting them aside. Sfogliatelle is my very favorite and I could eat 12 of them..(the big ones!) Before the holidays, I buy a large container of canolli filling and canolli shell chips and bring them over for Christmas eve. EVERYONE waits for them. I could write so much more, but suffice it to say, La D. is just the very BEST!!! read more

Great place good price. I will be going back there again soon. Lol I'm going back now read more

We got my son's 1st birthday party cake from here and were very happy with the cake and service. The cake/butter cream frosting isn't too sweet (which is what I prefer). The baker did a good job of hand drawing designs onto the cake. The only thing we wish was different was the lettering on the cake...seemed a little bit messy and we would have preferred "cleaner" lettering. But the cake tasted delicious either way! read more

You can smell the sweets from outside. Once inside we had a sample of the pumpkin crumb cake, it was delicious! We ordered a the raspberry and chocolate cigars. They were very good. We were commenting on the lack of help from the staff. And all of sudden the owner comes out from the back and was very friendly. read more

Everything from this bakery is delicious. Excellent quality, excellent assortment . If you want a desert that you'll savor every bite this is the place. Only problem is the parking is a disaster. read more

This place is amazing! Over two years ago I moved to Poughkeepsie from Fishkill, and down the road from me I found this gem! This is the only pastry shoppe that I will go to, and the only pastry shoppe i will recommend my friends to go to. Everything is so fresh. There marzipan pastries are phenomenal. Don't even get me started on the crisp cannoli!! The prices are so reasonable, and they do such amazing jobs on the birthday cakes. Best pastry shoppe in Poughkeepsie!! read more

I have been patronizing this long-lived establishment for many years. There is a reason why they have been at the same location for several decades- their pastries are simply FAB-U-LOUS!!! On occasion, some of the staff have been luke- warm toward me with their level of friendliness, but on most visits I have found them very amiable and helpful. One thing that I LOVE about LaDeliziosa is that they always have marzipan available, which can be hard to find elsewhere, especially if it's not during the holiday season. Their prices are certainly reasonable, the selection is outrageous and the freshness & tastiness of their pastries and cookies never disappoints. Well, I shouldn't say "never." A couple of times the cream horn shells have been slightly stale, but not enough to lose my business. I really love this Poughkeepsie staple, located in the old Italian section of the city. Times have certainly changed in this area, even in the last 20 years, but LaDeliziosa has not! read more

It's a renowned pastry shop located in a quiet neighborhood. They have a friendly staff, they always welcome customers with a smile and they are quick to help. Their creations are delicious and their prices are very affordable. They also take order for cakes and other pastries. During the summer, they offer Italian ice. They will also have tables outside when the weather is nice. It's not too far from the walkway on Hudson, so think about them if you are near that attraction. read more

I've been coming here since I was IN THE WOMB. No really. My family used to live down in this section of good ole' Po-town, and I essentially grew up right down the street. My aunt would take me for walks and we always made a stop into this bakery along the way. If there is one dessert in this world that makes me nostalgic, it's rainbow cookies. La Deliziosa has THE BEST rainbow cookies. I would literally beg them to make more if they ran out, and we would stay until they had finished making them so I could have my fix. They also have cannoli shells lined up in the cooler and they fill them and finish them right there in front of you. Talk about fresh! And to this day still the best cannolis I've ever had. It's also fun to watch them wrap boxes up with the striped lengths of string-this style is kind of outdated these days so it's nice to see places keeping up with the tradition. As you can imagine, holidays here are crazy, especially Christmas. The line is out the door and around the corner. I've definitely waited in that line to get my assorted italian cookies box. It's always worth the long wait, and I've never heard anyone complain. I haven't found another bakery that compares to this one-I will be coming here until the day I die (or if they were forced to shut down, but that would definitely be a tragedy). read more

I haven't even eaten the cannoli yet and my heart was stolen when the lady who waited on me went to the cold case, took the cream out and then squeezed it into the shell. That's the way it should always be done.....the cream should not be put into the shell until the customer buys the cannoli. This keeps the shell *crisp* and *crunchy*. Almost no one does this anymore, not even so called traditional Italian bakeries. It makes a huge difference and shows they take real pride in what they do. I'm sure it will be delicious. read more

We were looking for a bakery that carried marzipan fruit candies and they had them in special for the holiday so we went over. No sooner did we park our car out front and walk in the door that all of a sudden a crowd of people walked in behind us and the store was then packed so we hit it just right. We were amazed at all the cookies, pastries and cakes they had on display. We ordered some sfoiglatells (spelled wrong), napolians, and some eclairs - once we got them home and ate them they were heavenly! Everything was very fresh and the custard/creams inside all were very good. I will definitely hit this place again when I am looking for good pastries and cookies, etc. read more

Best. Cannoli. Ever.(*) (* available stateside. since 1974. Please: don't bother arguing for the cannoli YOU adore-beyond-the-ends-of-time from your favorite bakery in Little Italy/Arthur Ave/North Beach/ & how it couldn't possibly have a competitor in this itty bitty Italian neighborhood in Poughkeepsie...just stop off, pick some up, and enjoy for yourself.) read more

I ate a cannoli from this establishment, and it was highly delicious. The people working here are very friendly, attentive, and courteous. I will go here again for the baked goods I need. read more

La Deliziosa: my favorite place in Poughkeepsie. I had the pleasure of living down the block from here during my senior year of college. Every Sunday morning we would go down and get an assortment of fantastically delicious pastries. Personal favorites include: 1. the titular Delicious cake 2. Napoleons 3. Cannolis 4. Éclairs And pretty much anything else (besides the bhaba rum cakes, just not my taste). They also make wonderful cakes to order with any style/fill you could imagine one which has adhered itself to my memory was a marble cake with Bailey's chocolate mousse. I've bought them for many birthdays and other occasions. It has a wonderfully old school Italian vibe complete with thematic decorations to match the seasons. Perhaps the finest thing about this place is the delightful rich smell of fresh baked pastries. read more

When I walked into La Deliziosa I was immediately taken away by the smell. The smell was a combination of the regular pastries and all of the easter pastries.I ordered a cheesecake and a couple easter items. The cheesecake was extremely delicious and creamy. Very affordable. The employees were very nice even though I changed my mind mid transaction. It was very clean and has a very nice friendly vibe. I definitely plan on going back soon. read more

Everything is fresh and delicious. Their rugelach is amazing and they are one of the few places in the area I can find sfogliatelle.

We went here to pick up a cake for our friend's baptism party and while in there we decided to pick up some cannoli chips and dip and some other cookies. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. They were so friendly and you could tell they loved working there. We picked up the carrot cake and let me tell you, it was beyond delicious. I cannot wait to have a party so that I can order a cake from there. Great job! read more

Product is excellent, at least what I had, customer service not so much. Be aware that you have to park on the street, which is usually not a problem but the street is short and rather narrow. The place looks clean but dingy and old, there's no decor to speak of. When I've walked in no one acknowledges me, no hello, no nothing. The women behind the counter just keep going with their conversations. When I'm ready to order I have to tell them so. The women just looked and acted like they wanted to be anywhere but there. Questions were answered briefly. Not rudely, but not nicely either. The saving grace is their products are really good. The sfogliatelle are excellent, though they are only available on the weekends. The cannolis are also excellent, not too sweet and they fill them to order which is very important. The other pastries are also very good, but the one super standout is the pignoli cookies. They are perfect, the right texture, the right sweetness, everything about those cookies is wonderful. Overall, if they spruced up the decor and gave their employees some badly needed customer service lessons this would be a Hudson Valley super standout. Their products are as good or better than anything in New York City and the prices make this place a super bargain. You won't get great service, but you will get super delicious treats. read more

This is the best bakery in the area that we know of. Their cakes are delicious. We've had them several times, and the cake is always fresh, and they put just the right amount of cream and icing. Some bakeries over-do it by piling on overly-sweet cream, and hardly give you cake or filling. La Deliziosa's cream is not overly sweet which is hard to find these days. They make really nice cakes for a good price. The large cakes are great and they charge less than other competitors. The cookies and pastries are pretty typical modern bakery fare. Some are good, some are not. You just have to see what you like. I liked a few cookies, but didn't care for the pastries I tried. Their chocolate pops were okay. The struffoli was alright, but hard to chew. My family didn't care for them. The only time we complained to the store was when we bought a pie and it was undercooked. They were nice about it and gave credit that we used toward a different item. Good customer service is always appreciated. There were a couple of things I didn't complain about, because they weren't big deals. Once, their rum cake didn't have any rum flavor. But every other time we've had one, they put lots of tasty rum flavor. I chalk it up to they must've forgotten to add it that time. Also, I found a small hair on one of the items we bought. I didn't complain because this happens in so many restaurants, I lost track of how many times it has happened to me or someone I know. Nobody wears hair nets anymore. I wish they would. Every other time, I've had no problems with what we've bought or ordered. read more

We went to the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park. We inadvertently/ fortunately parked just outside "Little Italy". After a round trip on the bridge, we needed a "treat". We asked a local and they told us LaDeliziosa was the place to go. We were not disappointed. It was hard choosing from the selection. I opted for a Cannoli "Tart" my wife got a Napoleon. We both enjoyed our pastries. I've been to shops in Rome Italy, NYC, Baltimore MD, and local shops in the Albany NY area. LaDeliziosa holds their own. read more

Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Their cannolis are delicious: the shell is crisp and the cheese filling is creamy. The chocolate chips and colorful green sprinkles add an extra touch of sweetness and crunchy texture. They are also filled a lot too! I also recommend their Napoleons, chocolate mousse brownies, Italian Cookies, and Italian ice. Their Italian ice comes in so many flavors and it is always fresh, flavorful, smooth, and refreshing (especially on a hot day)! read more

Let the woman know I was from the west coast and was told I needed to buy a cannoli and she explained them completely. I used the other reviews as a reference, glad I did. Thanks! read more

Just as the name states this bakery is a blast from the past serving yummy tasting and beautiful looking Italian Pastries. Their specialty is cannoli cream and chips ( broken up pieces of the shell usually found with cannolis) not to be missed. Prices are very good as well. read more

You MUST get their cannoli dip and chips... OMG a party favorite!!!!

My family and I have been ordering desserts from this place for the longest. Its great! We've been on a diet now for sometime but we always seem to give in for the desserts here. The canolies are the best by far. read more

The ABSOLUTE best Cannoli's and Sfogliatella!! The cannoli filling is creamy, cheesy, and sinfully sweet! The outer shells are crisp and tasty! Sfogliatella is better than any I have tried including in Little Italy (NYC) -- flaky crusty pastry and slightly sweet ricotta cheese filling! I take them home and warm them slightly -- just yummy! All other pastries are wonderful too! read more
