Came here to grab some of their famous 7 layer rainbow cookies for work and they were a hit! Loved the heavy almond flavor and slight sweetness of the jam. After trying these there's no way I can go back to the regular 3 layer ones anymore lol. There are a ton of outstanding Italian bakeries in Bensonhurst and this one is kind of out of the way but definitely worth a stop for the rainbow cookies. Service was very fast and friendly. ~$20 for a pound of rainbow cookies. Cash only. read more

Love this place and have loved this place for decades. You have to try their donuts especially their Boston cream. This is a full line Italian American bakery in south Brooklyn that's known for everything. I was raised on these donuts. No pun intended. On my last visit I wanted to take a picture of the donuts but unfortunately I inhaled both immediately. The bakery itself is clean and the girls who work here are nice and always willing to help. The coffee is good too! Cash only! read more

I would give negative stars if I could! So disappointed in what use to be a neighborhood staple. I went in a bought 3 different items at a total cost of $25. What a waste of money. I got 2 mini cannolis, half a pound of bread sticks, and one pound of Italian cookies. Everything was stale. The cannoli shell was soft and gross, the cookies were legitimately disgusting and the bread sticks were so stale I took one bite and wanted to throw up. I wouldn't go back even if they offered me free pastry's. What a shame read more

I'm not going to waste your time here: Cuccio's has the best rainbow cookies I've ever had. You may know them as tricolore (which would be incorrect because there are at least five colors on these things - maybe that's the secret). You may be skeptical. You may not even like Italian cookies; I don't, usually. But these are the truth. My neighbor knows a thing or two about a thing or two, and he brought these over to my place once...now every time I head down the Belt Parkway, I'm either getting these cookies, or thinking about getting these cookies. You should too. The sfogliatella are also awesome. read more

This bakery is a neighborhood staple. I have been coming here for at least 40 years. It has changed over the years but the bread and the donuts are still the same. The twist seeded bread is delicious and the donuts by far have been the best I have tasted. The only thing negative is that it is cash only! You can imagine how much I would have brought it they accepted credit. But don't let that stop you from going. Just make sure you have plenty of cash because you are going to want to get everything! read more

I think I just found the best Italian bakery in New York City, and it is in the backyard of where I spent a good portion of my childhood. Hard to believe, I know. But here it is. Only a five minute walk from the Avenue X subway stop on the F train, Cuccio's might just be, "The One". All the bakery items have that deep, delicious taste, and a size of all their pastry items for all appetites, whether you like things small or large, decadent or rich, they have it. It will be hard to order just one item here. The rainbow cookies? Yep, they sell them, and they are terrific. The lobster tail? With French cream? You bet. Fruit tart? That is a bit dense, but the fruit is so fresh and beautifully layered, that they make the whole thing a mouthwatering experience. Even their black and white cookie is delicious. How about a jelly donut bursting with jelly? There are not many bakeries that do not anymore, but this one does! The girls who service you are cute and smart. They are patient and have that Brooklyn decisiveness they would make any future mother in-law squirm. Telling, huh? As for payment, cash only. Again, cash only. You have been warned... twice. I think it will be hard to top this one. I hope you will agree if you stop by. read more

Local mom and pop bakery in the forgotten part of Brooklyn, Cuccio's a no frills sweet shop that have everything for everyone. Place has been around since 1937 and it kinda shows, but that's the charm. You know what else is charming? The crazy 7-layer rainbow cookie! They're pretty good and so beautiful! Serious question though: at what point do you stop calling them a cookie and say they're cake?? They're essentially a cake that have been cut up into bits so you can hold between your fingers but hey, if they've always been called a cookie then carry on and shove em down my greedy mouth! Whenever I stop by an Italian bakery, I would always get two important items: the colorful morsels (rainbow cookie/cake) and the pignoli cookies (hello pine nut heaven). I walked away with those two bad boys as well as a few other things for the family and the price is just right. If I didn't live so far away I would surely be handing fistful of cash every weekend for their decadent desserts! read more

I come to this bakery often as it is a block away from my house. It's honestly a hit or miss. It use to be your friendly neighborhood bakery, but now it feel a little impersonal. I mostly come for the bread that is very fresh but tends to sell out quickly. I dont feel like they make enough during the day. The service is ok Nothing to rave about. I dont think they are nice or rude. Just kind of do their job and take the next customer. They have been open throughout the pandemic and I give them a lot of credit for that. And they are trying their best to enforce social distancing and masks. read more

Picked up a couple of cakes last night for my motherS birthday today. Opened up the box today to celebrate and saw mold on one of the strawberries. We have been Cuccios customers since 2000 and unfortunately this isn't the first time something like this has happened. If John is still the owner he needs to make sure his employees have better quality control over the cakes. When I worked here in the early 2000's we had similar problems due to negligence on our part but I would assume that this would have been corrected long ago. Definitely an unhappy experience. Also, the cakes were kept in the fridge overnight. The second cake was fine, however this one is all sorts of struggling. read more

I bought 3 types of pastries from this bakery: eclairs, lobster's tail and crullers. Only the lobster's tails were delicious and fresh. Crullers were dry and tasteless. The eclairs were stale, so much so that they had a strong aftertaste and refrigerator smell. The owners of this bakery do not value their reputation or believe that customers are complete idiots who do not understand quality food. And also a negative point is cash only. The workers are very polite, there are no complaints about them. read more

If you live in the Gravesend area, avoid Cuccios bakery at all cost!!! Back in the day when the previous owners were alive, they were mean and cruel and never kind to customers. It's a miracle they survived. Today they are no longer there but the quality of baked goods is horrible. Everything is overly sweet and stale. Yesterday I bought a poundcake, some turnovers and crumb cake to a friends house and attempted to have dessert. Everything was hard I had to throw it away. But not before being so embarrassed.

This was my fifth visit to this bakery, and I have to say that it is still, in my opinion, the best…read morebakery in New York. On this visit, I was buying bread for three different friends as gifts, so I naturally needed a little extra time to make my selections and place my order. Unfortunately, the staff member serving me appeared extremely impatient throughout the process and even criticized me for not explaining my order clearly. I completely understand that there were customers waiting behind me and that the staff needs to keep the line moving. However, I believe every customer deserves to be treated with patience and respect. If I am spending over $120 on your products, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect five minutes of patience while I carefully choose my order. I truly love this bakery and will continue recommending it because the quality of the bread is exceptional. I only hope the customer service can better reflect the quality of the products. A little more patience and kindness would make the experience just as memorable as the bread itself.

The Branzino was especially good. You could tell it was incredibly fresh because the flesh was so tender and flaky. I also liked how they served it over a bed of vegetables which soaked up all of the delicious sauce. The octopus was also very flavorful. Their focaccia is probably my favorite and the balsamic vinaigrette was so good that my husband and I had to ask for a couple of refills. We even asked our waitress where we could buy it, but unfortunately she wasn't sure. The seafood pasta was also delicious and loaded with seafood. You probably can't tell from the picture but it also came with plenty of little clams. The beef agnolotti looked a bit rich at first but it wasn't overly heavy at all and we ended up finishing just about everything. I'd definitely recommend this place. Just be sure to make a reservation, especially during peak meal times, because it gets pretty busy.

If you're into Italian food, I'd absolutely recommend giving Larina a try!

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

Their HH deals are pretty solid -- $2 East Coast Oysters, $10 select wines and $6 beer special. Grabbed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc as I waited for my friend to arrive, which they were very patient and accommodating for. As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish. My friend also ordered a cup of clam chowder, which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the best oyster HH spots I've come across, because it seems to be harder finding good ones lately. Would definitely come back to try the other seafood dishes.

I have a sweet tooth and this place satisfied my every need after I had dinner in the area. Prompt friendly service. Beautiful dining room and PLENTY of desserts to choose from. I ordered the mini trio which I selected a canolli, Napoleon, and the Romance Chocolate cake. All good, especially the Napoleon. Add a Cafe Mocha to that and I was in heaven. Definitely worth the pop in if you love desserts! read more

Everything looked really good when I walked in there and I picked up a cheese cake, it was terrible. The cheesecake is supposed to be really creamy, this one was dense and chewy, after a few spoons, I was like, enough, it was so dense that I had hard time swallowing it. We ended up throwing it out. read more

They have pretty much any Italian pastry you could want, from cannoli and sfogliatelle to Italian cookies, marzipan, rainbow cookies, and more. And don't worry about them running out of anything if you stop by later in the day. Even near closing time, they're still impressively well-stocked. The cannoli are exceptionally good, especially the chocolate shell. The rainbow cookies are another standout: always fresh, soft, and flavorful. They also come in different sizes, plus a crumble cake version, which is a fun twist on the classic. For St. Joseph's Day, they make what might be the best sfingi and zeppoli in New York. Prices are very reasonable, too. I regularly walk out with 8-12 pastries and have never spent more than $30. Their small box (which fits around 6-10 items depending on what you choose) goes for about $20, which is hard to beat for the quality.

It's the only place my immediate and extended family bought pastries from, especially for holidays. Then they shut down and moved to this location, and it's been downhill ever since. There are many, many far better bakeries in the area - but today I tried to give them a second chance. Anyone who claims these pastries are "fresh" have no clue what they're talking about. The cannoli cream was dried on the outside (and as someone who used to work at a bakery literally filling cannoli, I can tell you that this means they've been sitting around for at least 8 hours. All the reviews stating their desserts are stale are accurate. Also, I've never had a cannoli shell taste cinnamon-flavored - not even like someone was a little heavy handed with the cinnamon, but that it was intentionally flavored to taste only like cinnamon (which couldn't be farther from how cannoli are supposed to taste). What an unfortunate fall from grace. On a positive note, I hear the breads are still decent. I'll update on that if I'm ever desperate enough to return here lol
