Right next to Casa della Mozzarella, we stopped in for a cappuccino and a treat and ended up leaving with a tiramisu and tres leches. I was a bit disappointed that the tiramisu was very light on flavor, especially in the ladyfingers. However, the cappuccino was delicious and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The tres leches was divine... one of the best I've ever had. The servers are all very sweet and talkative! The shop has seating inside and outside, it's a charming little spot. read more

Shockingly bad. Carrot cake bites had no discernible carrot taste other than the massive frosting drawn in the shape of a carrot, Almost croissant was burnt, overcooked, dried out, see photos. Black and white cookies a huge dough pile, not much taste, the chocolate and vanilla frosting was good. More cake than cookie. Tiramisu, didn't get to try it but wife said it was very good. read more

During the time we spent in the Bronx, we came to this pastry shop two times. Once for gelato and once for cannolis. Compare to other cannoli shops on Arthur Avenue this place had ample indoor seating. One of the times we were here, we even saw a giant group of Bronx firefighters enjoying some dessert. Definitely a good sign that this place is worth it. The mango gelato was really refreshing on a hot summer day in New York and I really appreciated that the cannolis were available in small or larger sizes. After a day of sampling as many cannolis as I possibly could on Arthur Avenue, I was glad to have the option of eating a smaller one. Top-notch spot and I would definitely come back read more

On Christmas morning, as my family and I are last minute people, we were searching far and wide for open bakeries. We stumbled upon this lovely bakery and we were so happy that we did. We walked in, we were so overwhelmed by all the choices and wanted to get everything. We settled for a box of cannolis, rainbow cookies, napoleon and chocolate covered strawberries. I also got an Apple Turnover for breakfast. The apple turnover was one of the best I had! The cannolis must've been filled recently, I always worry I'll get stale or not crunchy cannolis but these were fresh and super crunchy! The rainbow cookies were amazing and that's all I tried the rest were given to family who enjoyed them. The inside had a lot of tables and looked nice and cozy. I would definitely return and try more things as I love when bakeries hand you fresh and delicious pastries. read more

Charming little spot for a sweet break. We stopped in for a few treats and a coffee. The cappuccino was rich and creamy, and the chocolate cheesecake was absolutely out of this world--so decadent! Unfortunately, the carrot cake was a bit dry, but overall it's a lovely place to relax and enjoy a treat. read more

I'm usually not the biggest fan of pastries, as I find them overly sweet and usually too dense. This place was a perfect balance of light, fluffy, and a nice touch of sweetness. Especially loved the tiramisu, it was outstanding! Plenty of seating! You pick what you want from an enclosed case of pastries. The servers then bring it out to your seat if they're not busy. read more

Quaint, old school American-Italian bakery & cafe. On any given day, you can find almost all the indoor tables occupied by happy customers, ranging from teens to senior citizens. Cozy vibes. Great spot for a casual hangout or a sweet break time. Swift and courteous service. All the pastries are prepared fresh daily. Not too sweet, which I appreciated. You won't die of a sugar rush after consuming a few pastries. Cannolis and eclairs are especially tasty. Great creams, shells, and dough for all the confections. read more

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon. Picked up some of my favorite pastries. Service was great... quick and helpful. They have 2 different types of rainbow cookies, one with apricot jam and one with raspberry. The one with raspberry was my favorite, it was moist and flavorful. Also got a couple chocolate covered strawberries which were delicious. The tiramisu was really tasty. This place was overall great. I will be returning and would strongly recommend when in the area. read more

The gianduia (chocolate hazelnut ) gelato was so delicious. The staff was very patient in assisting us with our flavor choice. A friendly, warm, neighborhood place to stop in for a treat. read more

We tried the hazelnut and gianduia gelato, cannoli, and Oreo cheesecake. The gelato tastes watery. The cannoli here doesn't compare to the ones at Madonia, and overall, the quality doesn't justify the high prices. While the service is prompt, the taste of the desserts is ok-ish at best. read more

New York City has two Little Italys. The original is on the southern part of Manhattan near Chinatown & the 2nd one is in the Bronx. The best one is in the Bronx so I made sure it was in our itinerary. From the time our plane landed, I've been craving Italian pastries. Though I went to school just a few blocks away It was not as popular then. With Yelp as my guide I found DeLillos. There were so many goodies to choose from but had to limit our choices. It was a very hot day so I ordered the Pistachio Gelato, highly recommended by the lady helping me. We also tasted the Cannoli, Biscotti with iced Cappuccino to wash it all down. Delillos was awesome. Everything we ordered was amazing. It felt like home & brought back many fond memories of my life in NYC. I plan to return hungry next time for an authentic Italian dinner & pastries. Can't wait. read more

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this business. The two young girls who worked there today didn't seem entirely trained in their role (little knowledge about the pastries). The quality of the iced coffee drink and pastry I ordered were mediocre. My sfogliatella tasted as though it had been sitting out for days. read more

What a wonderful experience ordering my grandmothers 102nd birthday cake Big thank you to Anthony and Josephine and staff for her delicious cake read more

First off...let me start by saying the shop smells great and has a very large assortment of cakes, cookies and Italian pastries. Some panettones and Italian candy were also on display. I stopped in to order a couple of cakes and a few trays of cookies for a family party...and I was happy I did. Everything tasted good and they did an excellent job. The shop is clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere and the staff behind the counter were very friendly and accommodating. They have a nice, large area where you can sit and order coffee/espresso or any treat you may desire. The shop is very cool,clean and comfortable and is located right next door to the popular mozzarella shop. I think if you go to Arthur Avenue this pastry shop should be one of your stops. It's an excellent choice. BTW...they carry a large assortment of zero-sugar cookies if you need to be careful. That's a plus for some people! Go there. You'll be happy ya did.... read more

Stopped in after a meal for a cappuccino. Very cute pastry shop with endless options to choose from. Being full from brunch, we decided to taste the apricot tricolored cookie and a cappuccino. Tricolored cookie was one of the better versions according to my husband but I'm not a fan. The cappuccino was great - very foamy! Note, they add a surcharge for credit card transactions - better to pay in cash. read more

Not what it used to be. The pastries are always stale now. I was there last week and they had a Department of Health C rating on the window (hidden in the corner. You had to look behind a table to see it). Yuk!!! So since gross and stale are not a good combination, I will not be going back. read more

I'm not sure how so many pastry shops can survive in a 3 block radius of Arthur Ave in the Bronx, but I have tried them all and this is the clear favorite for an authentic close to Italy experience as you can get. The fact that they serve amazing cappuccino in an actual proper ceramic cup gives them ALL the bonus points. And they have outdoor tables to sit and enjoy it. Their pastries are also the best in the area. Everything we try here is great. Their biscotti, sfogliatelle and tiramisu are all fresh and on point. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

The cannolis were good but the filling was a touch too sweet. The service was ok but a bit slow.

Definitely not THE best place. And I say this because the pastries are not as fresh and I've tried it a couple of times thinking my timing is wrong but it really seems to me that the pastries are never quite fresh. The crèmebrûle is very pale. And the croissants are too thick and not the best too! read more

Awesome Pastries! I brought some to a Thanksgiving get together and they went over very well! I brought more out to Montauk as a thank you to the staff at one of the Hotels and I am now their new favorite guest. Everyone loved them! Thanks guys!!! read more

This place takes the cherry on top, literally! Coming into DeLillo Pastry Shop took me back to Italy, with of course, a touch of the Bronx. Very authentic pasticceria! If you have a sweet tooth, not just any type of sweet tooth, but an Italian sweet tooth, then you've come to the right place. All types of authentic Italian desserts "come una volta" are right here! It made me so melancholic and brought me back home. So many varieties of biscotti, cookies, rum babà (not the best so I wouldn't eat it again here) and so much more! The sfoglitella stole my heart! Great espresso and awesome spot for dessert. You definitely will want to take a little to go box with more deliciousness to go. If you miss mamma and everything Nonna used to make, go ahead and give them a try, your taste buds will thank you later! read more

This is a very interesting pastry and coffee spot in the Bronx. They have a ton of pastries to choose from. Plus cakes as well. They have a nice coffee menu by type of drink. ENTRANCE- you are kind of on your own. No one to help a new face coming into the establishment. SERVICE- again hard to figure out what to do if you are new. If you sit at a table nobody comes by? Finally went to the back and grabbed the attention of the barista to place an order. TABLE SERVICE - you go back to your table and in a while a waitress brings your order. Then they disappear lol. COFFEE - standard drink sized cups and the beverages were good. They use that popular Italian coffee which is pretty good. PRICES- a bit on the high side for 2 cappuccinos and 1 large cannoli total $19 plus another few dollars for a tip. If I could give a 3 1/2 I would. I rounded down to 3 stars because of price and confusing entry. However now I know the drill so will be easier next time read more

We were looking for a dessert place after having a late lunch in City Island, and Yelp led us to this pastry shop. Parking is utterly impossible! After looking around for five minutes or so, my wife had to drop me off and then circle around the block while I made the purchases. Too bad, because the place is actually quite nice inside. I would have loved to sit down with the family and had a coffee and a pastry. They had huge selection of little cakes, cookies and the like. I'm sure everybody can find something they'd like here. We decided to get a few items to sample including cannolis, Napoleon's and rum cakes. Everything was absolutely fantastic. My wife who is an avid baker and an aspiring pastry chef had nothing but great things to say about the place. My kids also loved it. Regarding the coffee, it was decent enough. The notes were primarily floral and nuttiness which I found to be similar to Lavazza. I think they have their own in-house brand though. It was OK, but very weak. In my opinion they were not quality beans or freshly roasted. I also want to mention a minor gripe which is that I asked two different people two separate times to make sure that coffee was decaf. And of course I still got caffeinated. Not the end of the world, but slightly annoying. That aside, I would definitely return here to check out some more of their items. You definitely can't go wrong with this place. read more

DeLillo was the perfect dessert stop after a full meal at nearby Tra Di Noi. My husband and I savored tiramisu, a pistachio biscotti, and black coffee in the spacious interior. The tiramisu was heart-stopping, truly the best we'd ever had. My lord, so soft, so creamy, yet balanced and enhanced by the rum and coffee. We had never encountered a pistachio-flavored biscotti, and enjoyed the novelty of the dense, nutty pastry as well. The display cases hold a variety of pastries and cakes, all tantalizingly fresh and beautiful. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

One of my favorite bakeries in the area. I was looking for a cheese cake through yelp and this page came up for top reviews in the Bronx. I immediately went over and bought a slice my fiancé loved it and decided to get a full size strawberry cheese cake for only $25 for his father's birthday. It was a hit as everyone loved it. I would definitely be back for cakes and pastries here. They have other fresh fruit you can choose from for the cheese cake or you can just get a classic plain one. They have other types of cakes and the bakery is rather spacious. The services was fast and friendly. read more

I give them 3.5 stars. Italian pastry shop offering a wide variety of goodies. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We had the chocolate chip cannolis, creme bruleé, tiramisu, and a croissant. Croissant, was ok, buttery, but not the best. I felt like if i got it straight from the oven i would like it more, but it usually sits for the day. The tiramisu was very cream-heavy, the lady finger/cake element was deeply saturated in coffee....Different style I'm used to, almost a coffee puddle at the bottom. Creme bruleé was too creamy. A bit to dense, felt like it wasn't light enough in texture. Sweetness was good, but overall again not the best. The cannoli was very good. The crust was nutmeg strong in a good way, sweet; also wasn't newly fresh in crunch, but still very good. I would return to try other other items if back in the neighborhood. read more

This was my family's go to bakery for many years...birthday cakes, pastries, cookies, special events platters, etc. DeLillo was one of the few bakeries in the last couple of years in little Italy and in the area , in general, that still had good quality delicious bakery items. Well, that unfortunately came to a screeching halt this past weekend. I spent almost 100 dollars on pastries and cookies to take to a dear old friend's party who lives in another state with no good Italian bakeries around her. First of all, the mini pastries were so small as were the large sfogliatelle ( they were the size of what I know as a mini sfogliatelle). The mini sfogliatelle were the size of a silver dollar coin! I've never seen them that small. Anyway, at the party, I took one bite of a sfogliatelle and I threw it away. It was so nasty tasting like old rancid butter was used. My daughter took a bite of a mini cannoli and threw the rest away. And for my daughter to not eat a cannoli, I know it had to be really bad. She is not that picky when it comes to sweets. My husband offered me a bite of a mini eclair and it had no taste whatsoever. The pastries were so bad that my husband thought he had just lost his taste for them since we haven't had any in about 6 months. I didn't get to taste the cookies, at all, so I can't speak to that. It's just sad. I won't be spending money for pastries that just look good. I know good quality and have seen the decline in most bakeries in the last 10-15 years. As quality and taste decline so will people's expectations and a new lower bar for taste will be established and they'll accept a substandard product. I will never accept it. read more

I've been patronizing DeLillo for years and they've been consistently good.

Stopped here to get some Italian pastries on Christmas Day. Everything looked delicious- wish I could get all the pastries but I decided to go with the tricolor cookies (both raspberries and apricot), cannolis (all three kinds), chocolate cookies and the cookies with sprinkles and jam. They were all amazing and fresh! I also got the cappuccino, which was made perfectly. They have a seating area as well. The place is expensive but you get what you pay for. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the area. read more

Horrible DO NOT order from this place. this is how the order look like it when I open it from the box I don't even know if it's the food that I ordered when I called the restaurant to complain the lady on the phone said "well it's not my problem you should've had your ordered picked up at the store instead of having it delivered once a delivery person takes it that's on the driver. We don't give refunds" Never Once apologized and told me that if I want my food to look presentable that I need to come pick it up and not deliver. I called GrubHub to make a complaint and the lady called back and she actually confirm to the GrubHub person that it was my fault for having order delivery instead of picking up in the store. Do not go to the store do not order food from here it's disgusting it's horrible awful service they shouldn't even be open. read more

Jennifer S., Lori N., and I spontaneously stopped in for a sweet treat. It was quite a great fortune that they had delicacies of all sizes; we opted for the smaller ones and shared. Jennifer S.'s rainbow cake was divine, probably one of the best I've ever had. It was a perfect balance of fluffy, almond-y, and sweet. I also really liked my chocolate-chocolate cannoli. Everything was so fresh! This spot is definitely popular, so finding seating might be difficult. I got two cannolis for $2.33 (incl. tax). Suffice it to say, these prices are much better than most spots in Manhattan for lots of reasons! read more

If you're going to go to an Italian bakery/cafe in the Bronx's Little Italy, go with DeLillo. Located right off Arthur Ave on E 187th Street, DeLillo gives off a casual vibe while still maintaining it's classic Italian decor and dessert offerings. There's a lot to look at in DeLillos, the counter is huge and the display cases are chock full of cookies, cakes, and pastries. Seating is ample and they have waitress service which I appreciated. The pastries are solid here, their cannoli have a hint of cinnamon in them which is refreshing and their rainbow cookies are very tasty. The clientele is a nice mix of locals, college kids, and tourists which adds to the charm. It's certainly not the end-all-be-all of Italian bakeries in NYC but is a great casual place to go for a cappuccino and pastry. read more
