Keeping this one short and brief... If you were in search for cannolis or stuffed breads, this is your place! Hands-down, the best cannolis! The shell is like no other shell I've ever had, very crispy, but yet very flaky and quality and taste. The cream is excellent, not too sweet and the perfect balance of chips and extracts. Definitely worth a trip. They custom fill their cannolis so you know this is a quality bakery! read more

Great crème pies, lobster tail pastries and cannoli tarts! The staff is helpful and efficient, even with it being Christmas Eve!

We love DiSorbo's! Those cannolis that you see were stuffed with care by Steve. We called and asked him if we could do a gender reveal cannoli, and he said absolutely. It was such a fun way to find out ourselves and then to share with our families. This is one of the best cannolis around the rest of the shop always smells good. They also have a truck. You can see at Events or rent. We go there not because it's just close to home, but because it's a really great experience every time. read more

DiSorbo's Italian Bakery is an Italian Pastry Bakery that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 1970. It was founded by husband and wife Luigi and Linda DiSorbo. They specialize in classic Italian pastries, cakes and pies. Some of the specialties at this 'pasticceria' include Italian bread, stuffed breads, cannoli, sfogliatelle, bocconotti, cream puffs, éclairs, napolitano cannoli, zeppole, biscotti, anginetti, pignoli, panettone, Easter pies, hot cross buns, rum cake, napolitano cake, and cannoli cake. Today Luigi and Linda continue to run the business alongside their children Steve, Joe and Lena. The business (and their delicious cannoli) were even featured in the hit TV show "The Sopranos". In the Season 6 episode "The Ride", DiSorbo's can be seen at the fictional Feast of St. Elzéar during a cannoli-eating contest. The name of the bakery is clearly visible on the booth's sign as well as on the t-shirts of the contestants. Yesterday my family and I stopped in at DiSorbo's to get some delicious pastries. We had never been there before so we decided to give them a try. Since St. Joseph's Day was a day away, we obviously needed to get some of the traditional St. Joseph's Day pastries: Zeppole. We ordered three Ricotta-filled Zeppole, three Cannoli, and a Chocolate Lemon Pie. Everything we bought was delicious! We are lucky to have some excellent Italian bakeries in the Greater New Haven area, and DiSorbo's is no exception. read more

Amazing find, my roots go way back to Grand Avenue in New Haven. Killed the cicola bread while driving and the sfogliatelle delivered to our dearest friends. More visits to come from Norwalk.,. read more

Ordered door dash: a lobster tail, sfogliatella, and mini chocolate lemon pies. Everything was good. The lobster tail was amazing, light and nice filling. The kids loved the lemon pies. And the sfogliatella was nice but could use a little more filling however it was still great. It was nice that it was able to be delivered (awesome to not have to drive into New Haven or anywhere else) AND that it was good too. read more

Paid $75 for a 6 inch cake with a fondant bear on it. The cake was soggy. We literally couldn't eat it bc it was mush in our mouths. We agreed on a plain cake with just happy birthday, the bear and a small bottle of Hennessy on it. The cake ended up having sprinkles on it. The bear was supposed to have a bow tie, he didn't. But it was still a cute cake, externally. However, as previously stated...too soggy to even eat. Tiny cake, for $75, that we couldn't even eat. The read more

DiSorbo's Italian Bakery - Cake (strawberry) - Bakeries Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I chose Disorbio's for my son's 1st birthday primarily due to below reasons 1. My schedule was crazily hectic that I did not have so many options in hand and had to choose a place in Hamden which opens on weekend. 2. It was a theme based party and Disorbio's cakes' pictures here in Yelp and in facebook attracted me much that I did not think about going with another place I am summarizing my overall experience below Positives 1. The cake looked exactly like how I imagined. The owner of the place, Steve is very good at visualizing things and he is an artist who knows how to make the cake look according to our asks. Negatives 1. I did not like the taste of the cake at all. They are in business since so many years and I do not know whether it's just me not liking their flavors. While ordering the cake, I had some samples and I did not like the taste of those either. But I still opted for them as I was already late for finding out another place. 2. The place is so crowded and Steve looks like the only one managing the entire customised cake orders. We ended up waiting so much for placing the order. Even after that, there was so much of confusion and I had to call them several times to get the order right. read more

The best Italian pastry in the world. Was there every Sun. Morning for the marvelous works of art. Would love to be in Ct. to enjoy those again. read more

The best miniature cannolis I have ever had!!! I always use them for every a special occasion never disappointed.

Been going here since I was a little kid. The only place my family goes to for a quality loaf, including stuffed breads.

Disorbos is my go-to Italian bakery in the New Haven area. Prices are ridiculously cheap on many items. Quality is high. I get my sfogliatella fix here. Solid, solid sfogliatelle for all you Italian Americans out there, also mini sfogliatelle for those on a diet haha. I love the spinach bread. Very generous with the spinach considering only $8 for a loaf. If you know how much spinach wilts and reduces when you cook it, you gotta believe they must go through huge bags and bags of spinach, which isn't cheap. The chigala bread is also fantastic and I think their best seller for stuffed breads; They run out quick, so get there early on weekends. I try to support them every weekend because I can't imagine a day when Italian American culture fades away and I can't get my sfogliatelle anymore and think about my grandma and great grandparents who came from Italy and Sicily. Support DiSorbo's people! Keep the dream alive! read more

I would not recommend this bakery. I ordered a cake and got nothing to what I expected. read more

I was at an event last night and ordered from DiSorbo's cannoli truck. The woman there filled the cannoli right in front of me, which was interesting because I've never seen a cannoli made before. What was also interesting, but not in a good way, is that she did so by scooping up the cannoli shell with her bare, ungloved, unwashed hand. And this was her hand that she had just taken my money with and made change for in the cash register. I can't even bear to think of all the money she had been handling all night long. Money is full of bacteria. Just think of all the people who put money in the sweaty socks and bras. Or think of all the people you see in the Walmart bathroom who don't bother washing their hands before going to the register and fondling their cash. And that hand, without being washed or gloved, scooped up the shell that I'm supposed to eat? I didn't want to make a scene so I politely took the cannoli and promptly threw it in the garbage. Yuck. Eat from these people at your own risk! read more

One of these days my career aspirations and stress-induced sweet tooth will cause serious health ramifications, but thankfully today isn't that day. While I was actively evading studying and all things dreadful, I searched Yelp for surrounding bakeries, and this one fit the bill... Mostly because of the free cannoli offer. I got the cannoli, a small chocolate pie, and a chocolate cupcake. The total only came to $3.50! So cheap! My mom and Sallie Mae would be so proud. I inhaled the chocolate cupcake and the cannoli; they were both fine. The cannoli was filled to order so the shell was crispy, and the filling was creamy without being too sweet. The cupcake was a standard cupcake--nothing to write home about, but satisfactory overall. I didn't eat the pie yet because I got an impulsive order of General Tso's chicken on my way home and ate that instead. I'm going to be so fat next week. read more

I was absolutely NOT into baking this Thanksgiving. And I wasn't really in the mood for the traditional pumpkin pie, apple pie blah blah .... so I had a stroke of genius ... DiSorbo's! I have been to this place many times since moving to Hamden 6 years ago and have always been knocked out by what I;ve gotten here. Now I am someone who has had Italian pastries all over the northeast and ever since I was a little boy (and my waistline proves it!) but DiDorbo's has sold me -by far- the best I have ever had each and every time, This time I really splurged because I wanted a nice spread for company so I got: - a Cannoli Pie (ricotta cheesecake with chocolate shavings folded in ..in a rich pastry crust with a lattice top) ... absolutely delicious with a little dollop of whipped cream - Sfogliatelle (the most buttery delicious pastry clamshells I have ever had .. the filling was just sweet enough - with a nice hint of citrus) - Custard Filled Pies (again, their pastry here blows me away .. it is SO buttery, rich and delicate .. i'd love to know their secrets!) .. I got both the vanilla and chocolate custard filled pies. They also come in cheese-filled, but I had enough cheese-filled in the other things I bought. It was a very impressive looking dessert table, everyone RAVED about it all .. and within a very short time, nothing was left. NO ONE missed that old pumpkin pie ! This place is top notch, very old-school feeling and the staff is always so friendly here. I can't recommend this place highly enough ... love DiSorbo's! read more

They fill the cannoli's the old fashioned way here-to order . Very fresh shells and super creamy filling...Otherwise it's a dark place and in need of a little updating inside-imho. They have a few pastries but not a huge assortment. Go for the cannoli's! read more

I ordered a yellow cake with nutella filling. It was a waste of money as the cake was made incorrectly. I got a chocolate cake with buttercream filling. When I emailed Steve to make him aware of the mistake he said...sorry I wrote down what you said but I didn't make what you said, oops. Basically that will be my last order with this bakery. read more

OK this might be the best bakery ever. Not because I know them, but in all seriousness it is because it is delicious. The bakery is a nice location right in Hamden and they have a great selection. They do customized cakes and also offer italian pastries and the "PARTY CANNOLI" which has to be the best invention in the intire world (one huge cannoli that includes about 40 cannoli's inside of it). They made my sister's bridal shower cake and it was delicious and they are making my wedding cake. Do not go anywhere else ! read more

We've been doing business with DiSorbo's for as long as I can remember. They are th best around. And so accommodating. Very talented cake designs. I buy all my Fourth of July sweets from them every year for my picnic. I usually get a strawberry shortcake, pastries and Italian cookies. We are never disappointed. Hope they stay in business for years. Wouldn't know what to do without them! A+ Don't know why it keeps coming up San Francisco, CA, I live in Hamden, CT read more

Hole in the wall Best Cannoli This is my favorite place to get cannoli for over 20 years. I live in Miami and a trip to Connecticut isn't complete until I come here. The filling has the perfect consistency, not too thin and not too sweet. It is a very small place and could use a face lift but my rating is purely on the pastry. read more

This weekend my uncle brought a bunch of Disorbo's pastries over my Noni's house. I ended up eating two cannoli's that day. They were two of the best cannoli's that I have had in a long time. My husband had a lobster tail which he scarfed down, so I am guessing he loved it :) Everyone seemed to enjoy dessert. Now I know that Disorbo's is definitely worth a trip! read more

Today was our first time going here and we will 1000% be back! The cannolis and pastries are absolutely delicious. You can y'all it is hand made and pride is taken into their baked goods.

We miss him and this brought back his memories. read more

Really pleased with the cake we ordered for my daughter's baptism. We went with their house special Italian cake layered with strawberries, it was great-- classic, simple timeless cake. I think they can do fancier things but this was just what we were looking for. I'd definitely order again. read more

Not a very inspiring place- tired, not a good selection of items. Looks like they are on hard times and I'm sorry to knock them lower but they need to up their game and care more! read more

A big shout out to DiSorbo's Bakery for the Giant Cannoli "cake" they prepared with very short notice for me. I arranged it site unseen based on Yelp reviews for my son's birthday.

Steve made the most creative and amazing cake for a party I threw for my husband. My husband is a pilot in the Air Force and the cake was in the shape of his plane (C-130) with MOVING propellers!!! It was the hit of the party! Steve was extremely professional and courteous to work with. It was a pleasure working with him on this fun project. read more

As a lover of all things local and all things Italian, it's no surprise that DiSorbo's is one of my favorites! I've had the fortune to grow up one block away from this place my whole life. They make Italian bread the old fashioned way, hard and crusty on the outside and perfect on the inside. Their pastries are incredible, no holiday is complete without their miniature pastries on the table. Aside from the basic Italian baking, they also make some really fun cakes. Steve made the Groom's cake for my wedding in the shape of my Vespa. Not only did it look great, it tasted great too! This place is a true local gem and the DiSorbo family is the real deal. read more

BEST BROCCOLI BREAD IN THE COUNTRY - BAR NONE! I've been going to DiSorbo's since their cousin (or whatever relation!) had the DiSorbo's on Grand Avenue in New Haven. Theirs was equally as delicious, but for me this DiSorbo's always won out as they do not put sausage (or any meat) in their regular Broccoli (or Spinach) bread. I believe they will on special order, but without it is a stunning product! The bread itself is thin slightly crispy crust yet chewy doughy on the inside, the broccoli is tender and spiced with a bit of red pepper flake and lots of olive oil. Overall the product is so good that generally half of it is gone by the time I get it home! Especially great in the morning when it is still hot from the oven, simply a decadent feast! The spinach bread is equally as good though I prefer the broccoli. Their regular Italian breads are also quite good for standard white flour breads, and I can't speak to the rest as I don't like sweets, though they look on par with the famous Lucibellos and prices are quite reasonable. Nice family owned and operated. ENJOY!! read more
