Profile

Line up on Saturday morning with the diminutive neighborhood matrons for sticky rice balls as big as duckpins, wheels of orange-scented ricotta cheesecake, tray upon tray of lemon-drop cookies, real Sicilian cannoli, and spumoni ice-cream cakes—all displayed on glittering silver shelves. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

This bakery ranks up there with the best ones you'll find in the tri-state area. The food compares to some of the best pastries you'll find in Italy! The best cannoli in NYC, hands down! The cakes are rich and tasty and not too expensive. Although the line gets ridiculous on weekedns/holidays and they could use a few extra hands behind the counter, this bakery is worth the trip to Brooklyn.

Holy Cannoli

Forget about Veniero's, Ferrara's, et al. Villabate Pasticceria, located in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, is the alpha and omega of Italian pastries in the good ole USA. They are "to die for." Unfortunately, once you try their pastries, you will find it impossible to accept others. But, good news. They deliver.
