Cannoli cake was excellent. There were around 20 kinds of biscotti. I bought 1 from each. All kinds of biscotti was excellent. read more

Great italian bakery that offers everything from bread, breakfast sandwiches, cannolis, a large array of Italian style cookies & cakes just to list a few items! Family owned and operated but is switching owners in the next month. This location has been a pinnacle for the italian (and entirety) of plainville baked good lovers. Itll be interesting to see what becomes of this location after ownership has transferred, but I know with the owner, Sal, staying on board for a short spell to train the new comers, the integrity of its products will hopefully remain the same for those who have made this location part of their daily/weekly lives. read more

First time customer. Was purchasing things for Christmas and they did not disappoint. Bought cookies, cannoli and biscotti. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Authentic Italian baking. Has location (Nonnie's) in Southington. Will definitely be back. read more

Love their cakes. Great customer service! Great ambience! I recommend it to everyone!

I stopped in while I was in town for a dentist appointment. I have to say it's still the best cannoli in town! I also got some rainbow cookies which everyone enjoyed! It was a little pricy, but well worth it! It also made me crave their cannoli cake, which I might have to pick up for my next occasion. Service as always was spectacular. Everyone was super nice and helpful! I will be back! read more

this is not a review for which i enjoy making but, not the same owner - not the same taste - sorry to say it but when previous owner left - he took the original taste with him. i just pray his retirement is as sweet as all the years of treats he made for all of us... read more

Inedible German chocolate cake- huge amount of way too sweet frosting on and in a too sweet cake. We ended up tossing most of it.

Unbelievable gem of a bakery! This has to be the most quaint and authentic Italian bake shoppe in the state. Everything is delicious and there are so many options to pick from. Most importantly, the owners are delightful & caring individuals. Kind people always make the best baked goods! read more

This is by far my favorite bakery local to Hartford county. The service is always impeccable with friendly and attentive staff. My family usually orders a cake for our holiday parties and family parties from here between Italian Fruit Cake, Canoli Cake, Chocolate Mousse Cake, and Carrot Cake. All are classically beautifully designed, and just the perfect amount of sweetness! I also prefer the cookies here as well, but my personal favorite item here is a Pistachio Ricotta cheesecake! read more

My stopped in last Tuesday and purchased 2 cannolis and a mini lemon meringue pie. The shell on the cannolis was crisp and light. The ricotta filling was delicious. The lemon meringue pie was nothing special. read more

i would only give 2 stars because i was saddened when i had been informed the business had been sold... we have been life long patrons and refuse to go down the street to the other place (will not mention their name).... sal will be missed - as in all staples of society - he made life more enjoyable by conversation, company, great food, and being a supporter of the community... i give 5 stars as i am thrilled sal can step away and enjoy life... congratulations in your retirement read more

Ordered cannolis. Returned to store because they changed for more than I got. They argued that I had received more than I had! Mistakes happen but don't stand by a mistake. read more

Mangiafico's is my local go to bakery for special occasion cakes and cookies at Christmas. The cakes are always fresh and delicious. The cannoli cake is good. The owner and staff are very friendly and they will even carry your cake out to your car! Almond cookies are a favorite, which you can get with an almond, sliced almonds or a cherry on top. A must try is their Zeppole with Ricotta filling. (it also comes with vanilla or chocolate filling). So glad to return here time and time again. I would give more than 5 stars if able to! read more

Great cannolis! We travel far for these since the Italian bakeries in my area aren't so great. Their Italian cookies are also very good.

A small place with a lot of choices. I was looking for Italian pastries. The selection of them wasn't large but what they had was good and reasonably priced. They have other types of baked goods and cakes as well. A good choice if you're in the area. read more

Can't say enough good words about the owner SAL a very REAL person Hardworking old school Best pastry in Connecticut From Plainville to east haven where I lived Some morning s wiyid drive right to sals just for the great cheesecake on the way to visit My mom Real staff too God bless you Sal read more

Not just your average Italian Pastry Shoppe! Mangiafico's goes beyond the almond paste and provides you with a scintillating menu of items from cookies to pies, to canolis to cakes, pizza with a thick crust and yummy sauce, breakfast sandwiches and so much more. Don't be afraid of the odd shaped parking lot. There are more spaces in the back. My husband won't let me get his birthday canoli cake (cake made with canoli filling as the icing) anywhere else! read more

Amazing cakes, especially the PISTACHIO! They did the cakes for our wedding. Large variety of cookies. Inexpensive but very tasty.

Finally I have found a good authentic Italian bakery! We stopped in the other day to check things out. We liked the look and feel of the place so we decided to try some fresh items from the case. We also ordered a birthday cake for our daughter. We tasted an apple strudel that was flaky and fresh. The lemon mousse was light and refreshing. We also had a tiramisu that was definitely the best I've tasted. It's even better than Carlo's Bakery. The cake we ordered was a brown derby cake that was not only beautifully decorated but incredibly delicious. Will definitely return and highly recommend. read more

Mangiafico's Pastry Shoppe - Yummy...Brown Derby Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

This bakery is fantastic, the prices are sooooo incredibly reasonable. The Sicilian pizza is to die for, if you stop in and buy a slice which is just over a dollar mind you, ask them to heat it up for you, it is so good, natural ingredients, perfect balance of cheese, crust, and sauce. I always stop in for a treat after my haircut and salon services next door at Mari J Salon. I have ordered two cakes and everyone wants to know where I get the cakes. A well deserved five stars... To be honest, this is one of those places you wish there was an option for a sixth star or a super star. read more

This has been my go to bakery for years! We had our wedding cake made here too (cherry nut, so delicious!) Look no further for quality, delicious Italian dessert, pastries and breads. read more

Absolutely hard to get any better. The owner and baker Sal is awesome and makes the most delectable and authenticate Italian treats. The pepper biscuits have the perfect balance, the cookies are always fresh and to die for. The prices are more than reasonable given the quality. If you talk to Sal, it's like he's known you his entire life and makes you feel welcomed and part of his extended family. Love a nice independently owned business that takes pride in their product and customer service. Keep up the good work. read more

Had a wonderful first experience. Needed a cake for my wife's birthday. After speaking with a very nice woman over the phone we figured out their cannoli cake would be best for the time I had, yes, I waited till the last minute. We were blown away by the cake everyone who tasted it on the first or second bite said "wow, this is really good" also tried some of their Italian pastries, again delicious. I will become a regular customer read more

I can't believe that this place has no reviews!! I've been coming here for years specifically for their Canolies. They have the most amazing chocolate covered ricotta filled canolies that I would suggest everyone on the planet must try before they die! It's hard to not go to this place for them when I am in town. They have other pastries and cake that are good too. Their strombolis are an awesome lunch. They have ok cheesecake - not the worst, but not the best. They aren't open Mondays. read more

Amazing canoli cake and tasted just as amazing even when left in the fridge to finish.. Really faired price for the quality, smallest cake u can get is $20 and its a good size for that price.. Head cashier was super nice and answered all of our questions.. Recommend highly if u want a good bakery cake read more

The best people, quality product, tasty treats and delicious cakes. Sal and his family do it the best. Do yourself a favor and visit Sal(s) shop! read more

Though their Italian desserts are very good, the attitude and crappy customer service isn't worth it! Not ALL the ladies are this way, there is one imparticular that is just so nasty as it doesn't seem to matter the day or the time because I've been in there at 10am and 5pm! Btw thank you for the FROZEN almond cookies!! She didn't say anything just bagged them up! Toodles ... read more

If you want a bakery where there is a homelike feeling this is it. Sal's cheesecake is off the chart awesome along with the breads and pastries. The comfort of the small store with big taste and a step back into what a true Italian bakery was like when life was simpler. MANGIAFICOS is a true piece of food heaven. read more

Friendly staff and amazingly delicious spinach, potato and sausage bread!

This is the best pastry shop in the area. Small shop, not mass produced like another down the street. Best cannolis!

They don't have Italian bakeries like this in Vermont where I live. I tripped over Mangiafico's when I needed directions to the local Catholic church. After services returned to load up on Italian cookies and treats to get me back home. I should have bought more anisette biscotti as I had to return to make up for the ones I ate back at the hotel before checking out. This a great place with a friendly staff. And if you need a Sicilian flag they got 'em! read more

I'm a sucker for small businesses and family owned businesses! Mangiafico's is small and lovely. The staff was super accommodating to my last minute order of a cake. They were so nice about it and the cake was really big! I had ordered an Italian fruit cake and the whipped frosting was not over bearing and the fruit made it a light and nice dessert! I think this is probably going to be my new go to cake place! read more

Love Mangificos! I order a cannoli cake every year -- ask for the puff pastry filling. It's to die for! I have never ordered the Italian cookies but they always look delicious. The breads are fresh and tasty. I am such a huge fan of the cannoli cake, I look forward to it every year at Christmas! Best bakery in Plainville! read more

Mangiafico's makes the best cakes. Every time It's someone's birthday this is where the cake has to come from. The chocolate bar cake is the best. Cannoli's are awesome. read more

This has been and will always be the ONLY Italian Pastry shop in CT I would want to shop at. My wife & I have been to many in New Haven, Meriden, and other areas of the state and come to find this as having the edge over everyone else. I really enjoy the smells of what is being baked during the Christmas & Thankgiving Holidays. The taste is just absolutely incredible. As for birthday cakes, My wife & I have come to realize there are many places for which we could go for what we could get...Only one place can deliver the best of quality with out the outrageous prices... I would give it a larger rating but as you can see, it maxes out at 5 so... Do as I recommend everyone from where I work and friends & family to go... Mangiafico's is Magnificent...Give it a try... read more
