After spending Mother's Day weekend chasing my niece around, I was exhausted and ending our trip to Springfield, Massachusetts with a stop at La Fiorentina Pastry Shop was exactly what we needed. La Fiorentina Pastry Shop is celebrating 80 years in business, and honestly, it's no surprise they've been successful for so long. This authentic Italian pastry shop and café in is about as close to Italy as you're going to get without booking a flight. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast featuring fresh avocado toast and French toast made with their house-made rustic bread. And the pastries? Endless options -- every case was packed with something tempting. Mom, my sister, and I each ordered a cappuccino, and they were so good that we all ended up getting iced cappuccinos to go. One of my favorite parts? There's a playground right next door, making it the perfect spot to sip your coffee while the kids play. read more

Everything there is excellent! I've been going there for years. My favorite is the rum cake which I have to have every birthday.

Gigantic sandwiches made fresh. Tons of options for baked goods but their rainbow Italian cookies weren't the ones I am used to where they are dipped in chocolate & have the jam between layers. Prices are fair & they have take home pasta dishes. Coffee is delicious also. read more

Italian pastry and deli/sandwich shop. Nothing special here that I found. If looks were an indicator, it would have been amazing! Super cute shop. But I bought 4 things (one I cannot speak to as my 3 year old inhaled his cupcake): 1. Cannoli- a good cannoli but nothing special 2. Chocolate cannoli- actually wasn't a fan. Was there a shell under all that chocolate? Not sure. 3. Rum ball- was like a Starbucks cake pop (slightly disappointed) read more

Solid Italian pastry and sandwich shop. Block away from MGM, place does brisk takeout and eat in business. Got sandwiches to go. Very tasty. Quality ingredients. Caesar's salad was less than ideal. read more

This has been my family's go to spot for the last 10+ years. We started at the NoHo location, and now frequent this one for the past 5+ years. Everything we've ever gotten here has been absolutely incredible. The service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. The smells alone will have you coming back. The cookies are definitely our favorite!!! read more

I'm from California and I've only been to one Italian Bakery which is in San Francisco. I was happy to find this location in Springfield. From my observation upon driving up, I didn't notice a private parking lot, but there was plenty of street parking. The building is easy to find. There is a beautiful mural of what it looks like historic figures on the side of their building. Service was fast. I ordered amaretto cookies, a couple of raspberry mousse cannolis, a peanut butter cup cheese cake, a slice of ricotta cake, and a slice of rum cake. Raspberry mousse cannoli: Tasted very tart. Eat it immediately before the pastry shell gets soft. Rum cake: Sounds delicious but it was okay. I didn't like the texture of the cake because it was very dense. Ricotta cake: Recommended. Peanut butter cup cheesecake: Highly recommended. Amaretto cookies: DELICIOUS. I should've bought more. Prices are reasonable compared to the bakeries in California. Spent $20 for everything. Will definitely return whenever I need my Italian pastry fix. read more

Every option you could imagine Authentic Italian bakery, you might even be teleported with your first bite.

Ordered a red velvet sheet cake for my mom's 100th birthday. It was provided to us as a double layer, with a congrats writing out of icing, and for that I would have expected to have paid twice as much. It was delicious! read more

The service was terrible! Do not recommend pre ordering! We have been getting treats from here for years. They messed up our order giving us a completely different cake than was ordered. It was not ready at the time of pickup appeared that they forgot and just pulled a random cake out of the case and wrote on it. When we called they just tried to say it wasn't their fault. They would not even apologize. In what world does chocolate sound like raspberry. read more

It's been another stretch of time since I've been here. Only 3 months since I was here on August 9th 2020 but three months away from here is a lot for me. But they never ever seem to disappoint. They're always kind, warm & welcoming. They take care of you as soon as they can if they're helping another customer before you. They at lest acknowledge you. This place is a little slice of heaven. Well work the hour plus drive to get here. Anything you choose you can't go wrong with. Such a delightful place. The owners are so kind and caring. Always nice for a quick conversation. read more

we have used this bakery for decades and this past birthday my mother purchased a custom order fruit cake for my birthday. She ordered it for the day of the party ... the cake was dry and way below expectations . She called the bakery to inform them , of the dry fruitless cake and our disappoint . The manager / baker stated it was our fault for not serving it the next day . We stated no one informed us of this and he stated we should have known, because he did not believe us he made my mother again drive to the bakery, which is 30 minutes away only to tell her the cake was fine & did not offer any kind of compensation or even an apology. Despite the money spent an apology of any kind would have been welcomed. This has been our go to spot for all family, birthdays, and even friends. It was bad enough that the cake was so disappointing but even worse was the lack of service /the response of the manager . We will now not be using this bakery, which is incredibly frustrating, an apology or some recognition of the negative experience we had was not offered at all . Please proceed with caution as they won't even tell you that you need to let the cake sit for 24 hours so that it is not dry very very disappointed read more

I don't usually do this. But this got me going. Went to La Fiorentina on Sunday morning. Spent $65 on cupcakes, cakes and cookies. Got home with the twins and mom and the box with the cakes was FULL of ants. The video doesn't really do them justice. The cookies were fine and I have NOT had any issues with ants before or since. Called to complain. Was told the ants could not possibly have come from the store so it must have been where I kept them. And she was rude as hell on top of it. Never again. I will never buy anything from them again and I hope you all think twice. read more

It was March 19 so a trip to La Fiorentina Pastry Shop was in order. We shared a regular (cream filled) and a chocolate covered Zeppole. We took them to go as well as pasta fagioli and ciabatta bread. It's a great place with great service. The pastry shop is combined with a small Italian market with fresh pork sausage made on premises and lots of to go options. The atmosphere is wonderful and inviting and there is always plenty of table is table space to enjoy a pastry or panini. There's also outdoor dining space. read more

I bought a cake and there was a finger nail marks from someone's fingernails of one of the workers on the frosting of the cake. This poses health and hygiene concerns for someone nails to be imprinted onto the cake frosting. They refused to refund me and kept the cake. I have been coming here for decades. Never had a problem before. This place is awful! I am not one to give a review but it's reprehensible. Wouldn't buy a cake from here again and wouldn't visit this place. read more

We may have to return here to try the Deli side of this business, but this visit was simply to try the pastry shop side. Seeing so many delicious looking items for sale in the display case, my wife decided upon the Babà al Rum that was filled with custard. This Naples pastry is a yeasted brioche-like cake coated with a rum-spiked citrus syrup. The cake was truly light textured and the custard filling was delicious. It went very well with her Latte which was very tasty also. After having the clerk describe each of about 6 different cakes that were on display in the case I chose the Rum Cake. It was sooooo good and you could even see some of the rum settled around the bottom layer of the cake that had reached its saturation point. There were also layers of vanilla and chocolate custard and a whipped cream top. I opted for a regular black coffee. Service was friendly and helpful. Our tab for so much deliciousness was a reasonable $10.65. read more

The worst Italian bakery around and the owner is a very rude person. The employees don't even know what kind of cakes they have they tell you one thing then you get home and it's another. Zero customer service! read more

If you're looking for pastries, cakes, cannolis or to order a custom cake this is definitely the better choice in the area. I love the variety of pastries and cakes available here. They look good and taste even better! Very affordable for the big pieces of pastries. Some of the other bakeries in the area don't have as much variety and cost more for a much smaller size pastry. read more

Incredibly expensive and although the food is "ok", they are overpriced. Will not return.

Good food, very reasonably priced. There's also a coffee shop attached if you want to dine in

I ordered a custom cake and it was absolutely amazing!! Super pretty and delicious!! The staff/manager were also very helpful during the ordering process read more

Excellent pastry & rum cake is very good. The lobster tails have real pastry cream in them. Italian grocery adjacent is a great resource for hard to find items read more

Great cookies and pastries. This is a special place for a special treat. Also a local spot to enjoy a cup of coffee!

We worked with Mauro to create the cake for our November 2021 wedding. From our first consultation, he was thoughtful and attentive, actively listening to our ideas and suggesting some of his own. Our cake turned out beautifully and guests commented that it was the best cake they've eaten at a wedding! We will be back on our anniversary, if not sooner, to get more of that delicious cake. read more

Just went to order a cake from here. I wanted a strawberry cake with no peaches or nuts. Server Elisa noted they have strawberry cake as I have people that are allergic to peaches and nuts. I picked a cake that she said had strawberries only. I came home and did a celebration for my mom. Cake was cut and was given out to not be strawberries. Unsure of the cake at this point to find out it's a cake with chocolate chip and tastes like it had nuts. We called the bakery and spoke with one of the bakers She stated it had hazelnut nuts in it. So she gave the phone to the manager and he said it's not their fault as they are unsure of the story and that it's our fault we should have never cut the cake and handed it out. So he's basically blaming us that we purchased the wrong cake and they only go by what we order. He was rude and said we are adults and should have known they are allergic to certain cakes.Whike talking he hung up on me. So I honestly will not go back to this place and I have always ordered cakes from here plus mention it to many friends and families. I will no longer be a customer as you cannot even deal with customers and be professional. read more

They did a fabulous job!! I will never forget the smile they put on Grandpa's face!! Priceless!! Thank you so much!! read more

The cannoli are the best in all of New England. Seriously better than some I've had in Brooklyn. Just the plain ones with chocolate chips, hazelnuts and orange zest...outrageous. They are as authentic as you'll get, nit the fake cream you find in many non-Italian restaurants that try to pretend. And, we're so lucky they also make them for BIG Y Supermarkets. So we get bakery quality anytime we want. Surprisingly, the crusts are still crunchy, even though they are pre-filled at the market. You can tell it's high quality ricotta and ingredients. Anytime I'm in Northampton I'm there. Please don't ever stop delivering to Big Y. read more

Accept no imitations! Fiorentina/Zonin's is an absolute must visit establishment if you find yourself in Springfield. Authentic cookies, a wide range of Italian pantry items, delicious sandwiches (Milanese is choice), cappuccino/espresso, house made sausage, antipasto...the list goes on. Service is excellent and has that classic family owned business vibe. You'll be glad you went! Pro tip: for all the chicken cutty aficionados out there (you know who you are), this place comes correct. Well seasoned, lightly battered, and just right on the thinness spectrum. Perfecto! read more

They have the BEST rum cake!! I've been getting it for over 35 years! Their service is awesome as well as the Italian cookies! Would highly recommend! read more

I visited yesterday August 9 2019 and was hoping to find cocunut tarts and creme puffs. They had creme puffs but apparently the lady at the counter had no clue what a coconut tart is. Their pastries were unlabeled so I asked her what's this and what's that and the only ones she was able to identify were the creme puffs and the eclairs she had no clue what anything else is called. So I ordered some creme puffs and an eclair. When I got home I realized these creme puffs and eclair must be weeks old because the pastries were as hard as a rock. One of the creme puffs I took a bite off its hard days-old bread-like pastry and it tasted so sour I immediately spit it out. I guess that creme puff was even older than the other ones I received because the others didn't have that foul sour taste although they still were hard and tasted so bland they probably should use italian bread instead. I love pastries but I must say these are absolutely the worst pastries I've ever had the displeasure of eating in my life. read more

I purchased a cake a couple of weeks ago for my son's confirmation. I have been buying cakes at La Fiorentina my who life, they are always incredible. When I ordered it, I asked for a frosting cross on top, they said they would have to charge me $15 extra for that. So I said ok. It was a very special occasion. When I picked up the cake it was not a frosting cross, but a small sugar cross that they placed on. I was disappointed, but it was not a huge deal. We went out for dinner that night and brought the cake. When I cut into the cake, I knew something was not right. It felt hard when cutting into it. When I handed out the pieces, no one was eating it after one bite. I took a bite and it was hard and tasted like it was freezer burnt. It was horrible. We left 80% of the cake on the table. When I called the bakery the next day I was told the owner was not in on Mondays and the worker was less than apologetic, but she would call me on Tuesday. No one has ever called. read more

Best Italian sandwiches around this area. Great bakery and really good delicious sandwiches such as the icaro sandwich filled with slices of prosciutto and goat cheese. Arugula hits your tongue with this mixture and makes you want more. Come here if you want to be satisfied with a nice panini or cannoli. Also get some sausage they make A+. Momo recommended. read more

Amazing lunch destination! My friend took me here as a place that she always used to go as a child and I have to say, it lived up. The food was good, and the options were plentiful. Specialty coffee, desserts, lunch, you name it - you have the option for it. I got a panini and it was fantastic. Next time I am in Springfield and looking for a lunch spot - I have to come back and try some of the delicious desserts... The people are also awesome. They dealt with my having no idea what was going on or what I wanted. Can't wait to try it again! read more

I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and say they make some seriously delicious cannoli here. There's nothing like it in Orlando, maybe there's lots of tasty cannoli in Springfield, but I thought it was awesome. Their almond cookies were also extremely delicious, you could taste that they were fresh. The only thing I will say is that it is rather on the expensive side, but it was delicious. read more

Discovered this place while visiting the casino and checking out how the hood is looking in Springfield up the street from the casino. This Place seemed out of place for the hood area ;so I gave them a try. SO GLAD I DID!! Wow while I really like the MGM this place is a must go while there.Have tried a few of their pastries But love there rum cake slices and carrot cake slices .This place is every bit as good as Mikes Pastry in the north end of Boston but cheaper and with a nicer quieter cafe atmosphere. Their cold cut deli selection looks top quality; and a sandwich seems to be on the cheaper price point compared to Boston establishments..GOT TO TRY THAT sometime. In short this old school place reeks of Quality; Atmosphere and Pride. Would not be shocked if this establishment was not rated in the top bakeries in the state. KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK ! read more
