Best cannolis! Great pricing and amazing service. 100% recommend this to anyone we know that goes to Boston can't wait to go back and eat more.

Excellent pastries, and the guy Dominic behind the counter in the morning is a good dude. I'll be going here instead of MIkes from now on.

Stopped here late night and I was surprised that they are open 24 hours a day. We tried a couple of the arancini balls, cookies and cannolis and all were good. It does get a little chaotic on a late Saturday night as they need a door man to control the head count in the store and it does have a small stressful buying experience.

Best bakery in the North End!! They have several different flavors of cannolis—all are fantastic. This place has much more of a locals vibe than Mike’s.

Some selections are pricey but let me tell you, there's clearly a reason why. We were not expecting their treats to be that good, even with the many recommendations provided beforehand that would tell us otherwise. The rainbow cookies were OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious, and we've tried our fair share of Italian sweets. We dabbled in various cookies, coconut macaroons, and chocolate covered strawberries. Apparently we went at a great time on a Sunday evening after dinner as the service was quick and there was zero line. The space is your typical Italian bakery - homey and packed with an overwhelming amount of color and deliciousness. Open 24 hours, and again, I can understand why. Seriously, find the time to go!

I love this bakery. It's an old neighborhood bakery. From cannolis to Italian cookies, they were simply yummy. I'd highly recommend visiting this bakery and sampling different cookies. I just wished I could have had more.

The owner was very hospitable and the florentine cannoli was absolutely delicious. The house made crust was very flavorful and was unlike any cannoli I had elsewhere
