The pastries did not disappoint as they were as good as the ones we had several months ago that my friend brought back. This is a quaint quintessential Italian bakery with cases filled with goodies. Staff were helpful and kind and provided some great recommendations.

Is there any cake decorated more beautifully than a custom cake from this longtime popular bakery…read morein Schenectady? I do not think so. The cakes are made fresh and not frozen. Today, we had a 10" Carrot Cake for an 18th birthday party. It not only looked picture perfect, it tasted great. The website describes the many flavors of cake available in different sizes in round or sheet cake style. When you call to order, you speak to a knowledgeable staff person to select a flavor, size, frosting, and filling. Then you select the decorations and colors you would like. The signature iconic script handwriting of their decorators is attractive and distinctive. You know it is a Villa Italia cake when you first see it. However, always check a custom order cake before you leave. When we picked up the Carrot Cake, the worker did not open box to show us the cake. They should be trained to show the costumer the cake before checking out! Fortunately, I did open box and saw a pink frosted cake saying HB Jackie. My cake was for an 18 yr old grandson. They fixed it so it looked nice, but it was not quick. Please check out my photos to see a few of the cakes we have ordered and enjoyed!

Its no wonder it's legendary as its crust is thick yet pillowy. It tastes deliciously crisp like a focaccia style bread. The light tomato sauce with a dusting of both Romano and Parmesan cheeses makes it entirely irresistible. So much so that I can't wait to have it again!

We have supported this bakery for over 40 years, and it is time to offer a review…read more This Jay Street icon in Schenectady has the best Italian bread. It comes in round or loaf shapes and in one or two pound sizes. It is available in many local stores including the Niskayuna Co-op. True story: Jack Nicholson was filming in the area and found out about the delicious bread from his driver. He got the bread several times and thought it was great. He had it mailed to him. Photos of Nicholson and a related newspaper article are on display. The bread, rolls, and Tomato pie are baked in a coal fired brick oven from Italy. Besides the bread, there are other outstanding offerings including: Rolls! Breadsticks made at the bakery Bread Crumbs for cutlets and meatballs Tomato Pie -- so popular it often sells out Panini Sandwiches made fresh daily for grab & go. Italian olives and cheeses in the case. Italian cookies Parking in front and in a side lot shared with Cornell's Restaurant.

Charming little farm store well off the beaten-track, that is open limited hours (Friday and…read moreSaturday 10-5, plus "by appointment or chance"), that participates in "Maple Weeks" and is open on weekends the last two weekends of March. The sugaring features a small tour of their mid-sized and pretty impressive boiler (call first to make sure it's running, though, if you want to experience its full noisy hot glory) and an explanation of the sugaring process. You can also get a short hayride for a buck through part of their sugarbush (about 20 minutes). There's not a whole lot else to do for the kids, but they do have free samples of sugar candy. The little store itself sells lots of maple products (syrup, sugar, cream, maple nuts, maple coffee), a few other farm items (notably fresh eggs and frozen beef from the farm next door), jams, and some gifty things (very nice hand-crafted mugs, some books, a few other miscellaneous decorative items). It's not huge, as I said there's not a whole lot to do other than the boiler tour and the hayride, but it's definitely worth a detour during sugaring season and a quick stop if you're ambling through the countryside otherwise. Very friendly family-run farm. They do have an on-line store (see URL, which I hope the Yelp elves will add now that I've submitted an update) and I recommend their stuff as tasty, naturally-grown upstate product. Worth supporting. If you like antique stoves, this is probably worth a side trip. They have a big one in mint condition that looks well over a 100 years old. Navigational tip: Google maps can't find the address here for some reason; go to the corner of Grovenor's Corner and Crommie lanes, the entrance to Maple Hill is on the south side 25 yards past the intersection on the west side; note a little hillside cemetery, which you drive past going up the drive to the farm.
