Cannolis were fresh but a little too cinnamon forward as the cinnamon over powered the ricotta cheese.

Almond Sugar Spun Cheese Cone (Large)
Vanessa P.

I went here 11 years ago and literally haven't stopped thinking about this almond cheesecake cone. Being back in nyc for the week my husband and I had to go see if it would live up to our memories. Somehow it exceeded our expectations. The cafe is cute, the service is attentive. We ended up sharing a table with some strangers and we sat and talked for over an hour! Love this place!

Only tried the canolis and they are pretty terrific! It was late at night, they were prefilled but the shell was still fresh with a crunch and the filling is thick, creamy,rich and sweet.

New York Style Cheesecake with Strawberry Spread and Strawberries

This was our first time here, it caught my eye while walking and I saw the cannoli king! I was ok let's see if they are that good. We sat down and waitress stopped at our table real quick. The husband had the affogato and my daughter wanted a drink but they had no syrup for the one she wanted. Ordered 2 cannolis, strawberry cheesecake and a plain cheesecake. Cannolis were good! Tasted fresh n the shell was good as well. The husband liked the affogato and the cheesecake. All the staff were friendly n quick. Nice assortment of desserts! Will come back when back in the area.

Love this cafe in Little Italy and have been here many times. There are so many different pastries and treats it is hard to choose. For cannolis there are so many different unique flavors and variations like chocolate, caramel, etc and they have mini sizes too if you don't want the big ones which is great. My favorites were the Maritozzo and lobster tail. The cream tastes super fresh and yummy. I've tried their chai, chocolate chai and vanilla chai. All were good but many times they were out of the regular chai so I had to opt for the chocolate as that was the only one left. I also wish they had larger sizes for the drinks as the cup was quite small. The tables are only for sitting down and table service but not if you order to-go from the counter.

Caffé Palermo 148 Mulberry St. New York, NY 10013 Cookies & Crème Cannoli This was my first time trying a cookies and creme filling in a cannoli. The crunchy outer shell and ricotta cheese mixture was spot on; the only problem was choosing one flavor as this location had many choices!

i really do not understand how this place dubs themselves the cannoli king. as an italian american, i personally really hated the cannoli here. the filling lacked any taste of ricotta cheese that is typical of a cannoli, it tasted like icing on a sugar cookie. i couldn't take more than two bites before tossing it out. the shell was slightly overcooked and just not great. there wasn't any nuts on the edges or candied fruits inside. idk if there were chocolate chips but if there was,,, undetectable. i feel bad that i spent 8 dollars for a cannoli here. would not return.

Classic old school Italian bakery with cannolis and bombolies. They even have delicious gelato

Cheesecake cones my new fave

1) Table Service - you seat yourself and place order with server. You can't order from counter and sit down. 2) Counter service - don't dare sit down that is to go only. I usually do table service unless it's super slammed or I want a sweet treat to go. Cannolis are amazing- few flavors mini and reg sizes. My newer faves recently are the Amaretto Tiriamisu and Cheesecake comes (small and large too). Always a delight coming here, friendly staff. Yummy dessert cocktails, coffee/espresso drinks aa well.

Cannoli's for days
John Y.

Cannoli's don't disappoint, we got a couple of 1 biters and they were delightful. Love the classic. The pistachio was my favorite. The Italian cookies were a bit dry. We was eyeing the avocado shaped cheese cake. The young lady behind the counter advised us it was by that great and the lobster tail was a lot better. We went off here advice and she wasn't kidding. Flaky on the outside and creamy filling. It was very good.

Hazelnut Gelato

Pistachio gelato is awesome!! Saw a lot of people just came here for coffee and desserts/pastries. Brought me back to Italy. Pretty packed on a Sunday night.

Had a fantastic experience at Caffe Palermo this weekend. Coming from an Italian family, I was excited to come and try the cannoli. They did not disappoint me. I tried a large regular and a small hazelnut. My husband and I both loved the creamy smoothness of the filling. Neither were overpowering with sweetness. They were perfectly flavored and the shells had the best crunch. My iced latte was also delicious. This was the best coffee I had while visiting NYC this weekend. The service was extremely quick and all of the workers were kind. We had great suggestions on things to try on our next visit. The establishment was kept clean and had a good ambiance. I have already recommended this spot to family who will be visiting later this year. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5

5 stars for the staff and pastries! I got a lobster tail and it was one of the best ones I've had! For those who aren't familiar with the pastry: a lobster tail is a crunchy flakey pastry filled with cream. The cream isn't too sweet, I would say it's a mix of a custard, cannoli and whipped cream. Absolutly marvelous! The staff were amazing and I appreciated their input and recommendations

Just the place for dessert after a full meal. All kinds of exotic pastries, but they are most famous for their variety of cannolis.

The cannoli we tried weren't as good as we expected. The King lost his throne, and the water wasn't hot enough for the tea.

If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. There you go ! Fumo is for you, (at least the Chelsea location) is for you. Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting." Fumo is a great place but if you want a soft, quiet place to have a serious conversation, maybe save it for another time....

Particularly the penne funghi is to die for. Tried the linguine vongole clam pasta for the first time and was pretty good as well! Just wish there was more sauce and the clams were the tiniest size I've seen which was disappointing and to make matters worse, a good 1/3 of them were empty. Besides that, the meal was delightful and still great value as it was delicious with huge portions! Love! However, service at this particular branch is nowhere near as good as other branches. I understand it's busy and it's always incredibly crowded with people and cramped seating and loud music/voices but this was like no other. When I arrived party of 2, they had nearly 5 tables empty and yet we couldn't sit at any of them because the had to wait for reservations to see if they arrived and we had to wait 15 min but they said they'd let us know. We were forced to sit at the bar which the giant metal can of alcohol bottles took up 1/2 my seating/dining area and no one bothered to move it or ask if that was okay because obviously it wasn't but the didn't care. We waited awhile for the food to come and during that time we asked if there really wasn't any table availability since tables clearly open and the denied again even though reservations never came. Literally 3 tables remains consistently empty throughout our entire dining experience confined to the cramped bar area. They even closed the door, separating the outdoor diners which was weird and it became insufferably hot inside, even on a cold windy day. Bathroom situation here is also terrible as it is downstairs with steep narrow stairs and me and other customers almost bumped into each other and staff carrying multitude of food dishes and dirty dishes up and down the stairs. Never have I ever had such an undelightful experience going to bathroom at a restaurant. Additionally, sink water pressure either had no water coming out or a giant spray of water making it impossible to wash hands without getting a whole shower. This location really needs work. Only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because I love Fumo as a whole. Just skip this location.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp. Caesar was nicely dressed and the mixed salad was a nice combination with well balanced herb vinaigrette. Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
