Definitely not the old Scialos. Owner very rude, prices are sky high. Disappointment to say the least. Pastry still good but not worth the hassle.

Glad this authentic bakery has survived these unprecedented times it’s always nice to browse the delights they craft here. I picked out the lemon cheesecake and date bars along with cinnamon and raspberry twists impeccable quality and craftsmanship.

Beautiful location, historical building.. standards have gone down since the place sold to new owners while prices have only gone up. Charging mikes pastry prices for an okay cannoli in providence is abhorrent, they're a boston icon for their fabulous pastries, cannolis etc, you're only known because you paid beaucoup bucks for a historical location. You are not the same, sorry.

This place was so cute and we tried it on a day when it was ridiculously busy (like, Italian American holiday busy) so maybe it would be different if I went back another time but I just can't picture myself ever going back. We ordered two cannoli. They were piped fresh normally but because it was a holiday, they weren't. That's fine. But the crust didn't give the impression it had ever been crunchy--it was really full of bubbles and kind of fell apart into flakes--and the filling was sickly sweet and had more the texture of whipped cream than ricotta. I'm not sure if this is atypical for them or not, but it was so bad neither my mom nor I finished our cannolis (and I have a huge sweet tooth). I'm a little spoiled too because Hartford had a few amazing Italian bakeries but this was really disappointing. Maybe their other stuff is better but it would be hard to justify going back after such an awful experience. Could someone let me know if this is atypical? Or where you can find a really good fresh piped cannoli? I'm a little amazed by the reviews here...

The BEST carrot cake I have ever eaten. And I'm not a big fan of carrot cake- it's my husbands favorite. Literally everything is top notch. A must visit if you're in Providence.

Love it. Best blueberry pie I’ve ever had ( and I’m 64)!
This place is less a bakery and more a piece of history. As someone with roots in the same neighborhood as Scialo's, I may sound biased but you will not find a bakery with a better ambiance. Their butterball cookies are 10/10 would risk getting powdered sugar on my tie on my way to a job interview. Great bread too, this place is running 100+ years for good reason

I'm just happy they are open again. I come all the way from Boston for this place and their traditional cheese cake.

I came here to this bakery on a full tour with a bus that started in the back where all the ovens are this bakery is a prime example of a classic family style bakery with great workers that are dedicated to what they do. I absolutely love how the new owners kept all the original recipes and ways of baking all the products but completely redid the entire whole store front. The original ovens are a sight to see if you get to see them and the talent behind the experienced bakers that make it all happen is like no other. You can truly tell that they know exactly what there doing plus the taste of there baked goods is mouth watering in rich flavor. I hope and wish that this bakery will last another 100 years, Good Luck with everything.

This is my favorite cannoli in all of Federal Hill. The quality of this place has never skipped a beat over the decades. It was almost 20 years ago when I first tried this place, and it has always been world class!

The best bakery in the in Providence, never mind the cannolis and the pastries. They are out of this world ?
