    Amazing cookies that they are very proud of - hint: very expensive. I will say they are very authentic and just plain delicious. Service is alright. Not overly friend, but definitely efficient. Inside isn't much to look at. Nothing fancy, nothing gross.

    Tasty bakery in the hill with a large variety of options!! Gooey butter cookie was divine and was ordered as parting gifts for a wedding. Quick and friendly service. Not huge but plenty of space to walk around and look at all they have in the display cases. Will be back to try more pastries and desserts.

    This is my 2nd time coming into Vitale's since moving here on The Hill for 5 years. The Service was the exact same as last time we were not greeted with a Hello or a Smile once entering or placing our order. I felt like it was an inconvenience to the lady serving us, I was with My 2 year old Daughter, My Mom. Once checking out she dropped our pastry, and thankfully got us a new one without a problem. What I thought was interesting was a regular customer walked in once we were paying, and she greeted her with a smile while starting a personal conversation. I just would expect a more welcoming atmosphere especially in our neighborhood. Like I said it wasn't my first time, and it was the same person and attitude before which made me not want to return in the first place.

    I updated to 5 stars. I really like the cannolis and they are super friendly. Seems like I always get one

    This was a place where I went on a food tour. They had lots of baked goods to choose from including breads, cookies, cannoli, etc. There was a large variety of all Italian sweets with something for everybody. I had a traditional cannoli. It was a ricotta cheese filing. There was a cherry part of the filing as well. This was an okay tasting cannoli. The filing to shell ratio was ideal, but it was just decent to me. The shell was crispy and appeared very fresh, but the filing was just a little off. Will I go back? I would head back.

    Vitale's was a good classic Italian bakery option. I got some macarons and a lobster tail - the macarons were my favorite. I went close to closing time but there were still many options

    I still always love this little bakery....for certain things like sauce and pizza crusts....certain little candies. The staff is always so nice and pleasant.

    I used to think the southern style (buttermilk biscuit base) strawberry shortcake was my favorite dessert until I came to Vitale's. Theirs is hands down now my fave. Fresh strawberry purée between layers of chiffon cake that's iced with a whipped, delectable icing, and I am one happy lady eating cake on the run in my car (but safely, of course). I ate several samplings of cookies as well and really liked the anise flavor as well as the biscotti. The cookies were all light and would be perfect with a cup of coffee, though I chose mine to accompany the cake... I bought a bag of frozen toasted raviolis and pizza sauce for a quick meal option at home, so will update review once I've stopped eating dessert for dinner and power on the air fryer.

    Picked up some cannoli to go yesterday and they were incredibly fresh and delicious. Not too sweet and crumbly and well filled. Perfect addition to a nice cup of coffee. Loved it!

    I hate to leave a bad review, but it was the weirdest interaction.. or lack there of, I guess??…read more The website and the hours on the door say it closes at 10pm. I got there around 8:45pm. As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

    This was my second time coming to this place…read more The staff is so inviting and friendly and are willing to answer any and every question you have. They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

    The 3 ladies who run this shop together are so sweet and excited to serve you…read more It is so refreshing that they are so happy to let us try the different jellies that we were new to before ordering. It really helped us to be able to make our decisions before ordering. We tried about 3 different jellies: lychee/coconut, aiyu is just sugar that has a flavor so we opted to pass once we asked right before trying it-it had a brown look to it. They do have a note that tapioca is not ready until 1030 AM each day. I ordered passionfruit with lychee with 50% less sugar with light ice. It was just right in sweetness. I like the tartness of passion fruit and that amount of sugar allowed for that with a slight sweetness. I loved that the seeds are in the juice. The drink was delicious. Additionally, I ordered a matcha green milk tea for the morning with tapioca. My daughter got the mango slushie with mango boba-so good!! The prices are really great and this spot is adorable on the inside. . The location is 2 doors down from Daiso!!!!!

The milk tea itself was really sweet for 75% sugar and there was a strong taste/texture of the syrup which I did not like at all. However, the boba seems to be made fresh daily, and the texture was really good: soft and perfect amount of chewiness without being too gelatinous or hard. I wish there was a honey flavor to the boba but maybe that was an add on. A cute interior thats great for small hangouts and photos. Overall a decent boba store if you're grocery shopping in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    For a last minute, celebratory dessert stop, Cyrano's hit the spot…read more My partner and I went because we saw a Google review that mentioned the bread pudding being so delicious that it "altered his brain chemistry." Honestly that's what sold us! Arrived and promptly ordered that dessert and the carrot cake. Then the server told us of their "to die for" tiramisu and my partner immediately said yes. WOW let me tell you from a first hand experience two people do NOT need three desserts. Cyrano's gives you AMAZING portions. Just one would have been enough lol. Anyways, the carrot cake was my favorite. It was so big I had enough to take home! The tiramisu was good but it was being overpowered by the carrot cake that evening. As for the brain chemistry altering bread pudding.... That google review was 100% correct. It was delicious. 10/10. No notes. Please order it if you go to Cyrano's. The ambiance was a little dated but still looked nice. The staff was kind and quickly resolved the missing ice cream situation.

We came in on a Friday evening, a little before 8, and decided to sit at the bar. We didn't get home until 10:30. And we live 10 minutes away. Two and a half hours. The bartender was great, very sweet, and was super apologetic. She made us fantastic drinks all night. And I will say, the food was incredible. But it took almost an hour to get just our salads out. And then another hour to get our main. A gentleman behind us came in at 9PM and was gone by 10PM. I'm not sure if our ticket got lost or what, but it was a very odd experience for us. We shared a few things and I will say, they split the plates for us and it was awesome. I was a big fan of the food in general. But my complaint the first time here was timing of service, and looks like it's a continuous issue for them. It's a bummer because I would love to come back, and maybe if we're not starving and in the mood for a long drawn out meal, we'll come back, but definitely not going to be a regular spot for us.

We started with the Korean fried cauliflower and it was honestly some of the best I've ever had. The batter was light, fluffy, and crispy, and the gochujang sauce with the mayo was sweet and sticky in the best way. Since it's a butchery, we had to try the steaks. I ordered the 4oz filet Oscar style. The meat was tender and very well seasoned, the crab was fresh, and the homemade hollandaise really pulled it all together. My husband had the ribeye. It was a flavorful cut, a little fatty (as ribeye tends to be), but exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The steaks come with a twice-baked potato and vegetable (or you can swap for different vegetables). The potato was flavorful but fairly dense. We also did the bread service - it was good, but felt a bit pricey for the portion. We ended with the flourless chocolate torte, which was very rich and the perfect way to finish the meal - especially on Valentine's Day. Overall, the food was good and the menu is solid. The quality was there, but the portions, bread service and sides didn't fully meet expectations. That said, it was still a lovely experience and a great date-night spot.
