Oscar's is a small, family-run pasticceria, complete with Mama and children in tow. We were handed a cannoli, made at that moment for us, and the love affair with this bakery started. They have a whole array of marzipan treats, many shaped into other food. We had a good laugh examining what appeared to be a ham and cheese sandwich, but which was actually made entirely of marzipan. This bakery is THE place to try. Small. Cute. And, extremely delicious. The cookies are to die for, and to be washed down with a freshly-pressed Italian espresso.

Today we ate the most delicious cannoli we have ever eaten at Oscar! They also have fantastic…read moregelato and granita. The people who run this wonderful Pasticceria are so friendly and nice! We first came in looking for a panini and the woman who owns Oscar asked her friend to walk us down the street to her favorite sandwich shop which was also fantastic. We then returned to Oscar for dessert and were amazed by how delicious everything was. Do not miss this wonderful place and definitely get the freshly made pistachio cannoli!

We got the hazelnut (nocciola) and pistachio gelato and as a direct back to back comparison to another gelateria, this one was much sweeter and less strong in flavor.

Pasticceria Irrera is considered by many to make the best cannoli in the world, and I would proudly agree with that. I literally got teary as I took my first bite. Just a word to the wise, though... Eat the treats fairly soon. Everything made from scratch also means no preservatives, so by the next night, not as amazing. But fresh out of the display case? It's a religious experience.
