One of the top Italian bakeries in NY and an absolute must stop when visiting Arthur Ave. You walk…read morein and you feel like you just stepped back in time to your childhood when more of these Italian American bakeries existed. Bread, cookies, and pastries are all showcased and it smells great. If you go during the afternoon during the week it won't be as crowded as it can get on the weekend. Everything here is terrific. Whenever I'm in the area I'll bring home a pound of assorted Italian cookies, I'll also grab rainbow cookies and cannolis. Their cannolis are terrific, some of the best in NY. Yes, NY, not just NYC. I think what makes their cannoli stand out amongst some of the best is their shell. It's always fresh and crispy. Their filling is a little more vanilla forward compared to other NY institutions version of the cannoli, so keep that in mind when trying one. I'll put it to you this way, if you like Italian pastries, especially cannolis make this place a destination to visit, give them a try and see how it ranks up compared to your favorites. And while you're there, take in the rest of Arthur Ave! Oh, I almost forgot. They have what my husband says are the best savoiardi cookies in the state. They're always fresh, soft, slightly chewy in the middle with a delicately crispy exterior. They're to die for with a hot cup of coffee.

My wife and I made the trip from Queens to the Bronx specifically to try Conti's Boston Cream Pie,…read moreand it was absolutely worth the ride! The cake was incredibly fresh and truly delicious. The sponge was wonderfully light and moist--exactly what you want in a Boston Cream Pie. What makes Conti's version a little different, and very special, is the filling. Most Boston Cream Pies I've had use a thicker, denser vanilla custard. Conti's filling is much lighter, almost like a vanilla mousse, which pairs beautifully with the delicate sponge and rich chocolate topping. It's their own spin on this classic dessert, and it works! Everything was fresh, light and delicious without being overly heavy or sweet. If you love Boston Cream Pie, making the trip to the Bronx for Conti's version is a well-worth-it excursion. We certainly will be back!

What made this neighborhood important to me as a child is GINOS PASTRY…read more GINOS was relevant as it is a family style pastry shop that smiled and greeted you with welcoming arms where my Mama loved to frequent on Saturdays to get pastries and fresh ground coffee while I would indulge with Raspberry Babolonis; donuts with extra powdered sugar and a chocolate gelato icecream. The best treat and time for Mommy daughter and the friendly hometown Italian shop. This was also a time when women had just been given power to make choices about financial means in the household and have bank accounts in their names. The world was changing and INCLUSION was the glow on America's faces for all races. I saw Saturdays and Mommy/Daughter time to do girl things.

The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

As soon as you step inside, you're taken by how large and how clean Artuso is. It is very well lit, and all of these things make it very easy for you to focus on those glass cases full of sweets. Their selection is extremely large and contains all that you would expect (biscotti, rainbow cookies, b&w's, pignolis, etc) as well as Italian ice and various other treats. The line moved fast, and the workers were extremely helpful as we ordered our rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies with cannoli cream. The pignoli were great...they had that signature almond taste, just right. Very enjoyable. And the cannoli cream center was a nice touch, and very good as well. The rainbow cookies were ok. Admittedly, I have a very high bar for rainbows, so I hold them to a high standard...and they were good, just not as flavorful/almondy as I particularly prefer. In all, Artuso is a great stop. A perfect post lunch/dinner spot to grab a quick snack to cap off a meal. Definitely check it out.

Not only is the owner the incredibly talented baker who was featured on a cooking show for making one of the best sfogliatella, but he's taken this classic Italian pastry to a whole new level. Imagine perfectly flaky, buttery layers filled with a rich, silky Nutella mousse, dipped in chocolate, topped with a dollop of mousse and a cherry, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Every bite is crispy, creamy, chocolatey perfection. This isn't just a pastry--it's an experience. If you're a Nutella lover or a sfogliatella fan, do yourself a favor and get one before everyone else catches on!

Went in to get st Joseph pastries... the young girls were busy cleaning counters and talking amongst themselves... had to drop my keys on the counter to get there attention... ordered and the girl got them for me. When I was paying I couldn't help but the see two older people (I guess the owners) sitting there... we made eye contact and not even a nod or smile or a hello. I am a customer putting money in your pocket... I paid the girl and left. No thank you or have a nice day. Next time I'm going down morris park to where the people are actually happy to serve you. And to make matters worse the patties were a 3 out of 10... no taste except for the canned cherries in it. Disappointing because the baked goods used to be better. read more

My family, friends, and I have been customers of theirs for years - and in my opinion other bakeries don't hold a candle to their offerings. Like most Italian bakeries - Sal & Dom's offers the essentials: cannoli, lobster tails, sfogliatelle, and a large variety of cookies. Their American offerings shouldn't be overlooked - they have a lot of mini pastries, sweet breads, rolls, and traditional cakes as well. I love their sheet cakes - the sponge is so airy, and you can choose from a large variety of creams, custards, and fruit as filling. Usually I'll opt for whipped cream frosting because it makes the cake super light. Besides the cakes, you really can't go wrong with anything Sal & Dom's offers; they have some of the best cannoli and rainbow cookies I've ever had, and during the holidays they serve up a mean cuccidati. Is this the best Italian bakery in the Bronx? In NYC? I would put it to the test. Everything they bake is consistently good, so if you're in the market for some pastry be sure to stop by.
