Great service and great pricing. I went with my son on a Thursday afternoon. It was busy but the line moved. We picked up 3 lbs of greek yogurt. All different flavors and all delicious. My son was interested in floating around the store to see what they have while I waited in the quick line. All sorts of great flavors (vanilla, black raspberry, coffee, strawberry, banana-strawberry and lemon to name just a few. There are all sorts of pasty's, as well. I have to be honest, I have not had any of the pastry's because I am trying to lose a few pounds. They all look delicious and I will, at some point, indulge in those pastry's! I will continue to be a customer and a loyal visitor to the store in Belmont.....for sure. Price: great Service: swift Vibe: Fun Parking: a bit busy, but there is parking for everyone....side streets are probably best Will I be back: no doubt....great greek yogurt is my draw!

You will not be disappointed! The amount of food products from Greece will blow your mind away!

The place was packed with shoppers and the place is narrow but everyone had one thing on their minds..... pick up the Best Greek foods! I still am in shock of how everything was neatly organized in sections! For example: the pastas, the oils , the desserts, the sweets, the pastries, the nuts, and the busy item....Fresh Yogurt!

We tried to Ham & Butter Baguette, Cheddar & Scallion Biscuit, and Cinnamon Roll. The Ham & Butter Baguette reminded me of a breakfast I've had in Paris and the biscuit was crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside. There is no indoor space for this bakery so you simply order at the window which is nice for people with dogs. They even gave our dog a treat! Also everyone else we chatted with in the small line/seating area RAVED about how great this place was. We'll definitely be back to try more pastries!

There also a to go section with avgolemono soup, tzatziki and yogurt and all are so yummy. They also carry imported Greek goodies like feta and olive oil and jams. It's becoming rare to find a working bakery in a neighborhood, where the owners and staff are actually in the back baking from scratch. And the results are outstanding.

The chocolate mousse cake is incredible. So light and fluffy. It was my first time in the bakery…read moretoday. I brought my daughter after she had a bad day at school and just wanted a slice of cake. The owner was super nice. I had questions about custom cakes and we chatted for a minute, and she showed me some of her inspiration photos. I also ordered the Greek rice pudding for my son. He had MCAS today so he deserved a treat. I got a spoonful and it was excellent. The only drawbacks to this place are there is nowhere to sit, and prices are not marked in the case. There are benches outside, though, for when the weather is nice. And maybe farther down the road from the pandemic the owner could remove some of the fixtures and add seating. But I would recommend adding pricing to the cases to those on a fixed budget.

There's a few panaderias in Waltham but this one is my favorite mostly because they sell other food items other than bread. The owner speaks English and I think their daughter? Does too which is helpful. They usually have hot food during the day but bc of covid, they don't have a wide array anymore. Hey but they still have their amazing tamales!!!!!!! I sadly never got a photo of any of their food because I devoured them too quickly.

They surprising had a good selection of pastries and pre-made savory breads. The lady helping us was nice, but she seemed unaware of some of the flavors of pastries sold there. Quick rundown of what we have ordered: Chocolate Dome Mousse: delicious chocolatey heaven, the mousse was light and airy, with a chocolate crumb base and white whipped cream in the center. It was decadent and a little too sweet for us but for most people it should be perfect. Almond Cake: OMG!! This is soooo good. I do not like too much cream in my cakes/pastries and it is so hard to find cakes, that do not have a lot of cream. Kind of a juxtaposition, but it is what it is. But the almond cake proves this juxtaposition wrong ;) The pastry has thin layers of cake and cream, was not overly sweet and had such a lovely almond tone to it. LOVED every bite of it.

If you want authentic homemade pasta, and pastries head on over to Il Pastificio. Let's start with…read morethe pasta for five or seven dollars per pound you have some of the best homemade pasta on the East Coast. The pasta is displayed in airtight sealed packages so you have the utmost freshest pasta possible when you go home. I've tried different styles of their pasta, and each one was better than the last. I definitely give High praise when it comes to pasta making since I do not have the patience for the time consuming process. I would suggest everyone come here and try the pasta at least one time you will be hooked. Magnificent.!! Now for the pastries. What can you say all the crusts are light, soft when needed, crispy and crunchy on the others. I mean it's basically cookie and pastry perfection here. The cookies are sold by the pound you can just ask for a mixed batch or pick your own mix and match. I am not sure how much per pound the cookies are my last purchase was 1 pound of cookies and two grapefruit waters and it came to $29. This is a freaking bargain for the quality of this pastry. The only downside about the pastry is that you can only eat so many cookies and at this location, you want every single one. My only advice is to come multiple times a week and grab a pound and see if it lasts you a day or two. Unfortunately, the pastry is so delectable that you want to eat them all in one sitting. Grab a pound and see how long you can make it last. Approximately two hours at my house. With everything said above, you think that would be it but there's more! Homemade gelato you heard that right homemade gelato. Already scooped into beautiful cups with fruit, different flavors and yes, 100% homemade again! Coming into this business is like taking a flight to Italy and walking down a small alley with local shops. There is too much going on for my taste buds in this store. Everything is amazing. So not to extend this fabulous review, but there's still more.... I haven't had the opportunity or the need to purchase a jar of sauce, but with the quality of every single thing that is sold under this roof, I am sure the sauce is amazing. They have jars of sauce so you can go home and make a pasta dinner in a few minutes just boil up your pasta and warm up the sauce. I definitely will try a jar one day. But I already know that it's delicious. Yes, there is more... I haven't had a chance to indulge in a sandwich at this location however it is on my agenda. I know they have sandwiches because there's actually a sandwich sign out front when I drive by once in a while that says they have sandwiches. I will save that for another day. I can only foresee a fabulous fresh sandwich with amazing taste coming out of this location. I look forward to this adventure in the future. The location is always clean. Well kept organized and set up super cute. There is always some kind of little display going on in the main lobby. As for the service, you can't get any better service than at this location because the people serving, you are actually the owners. Sandra is one of the most happiest, beautiful young ladies. I've met in so long. She is so upbeat, polite, happy and beautiful that you almost forget about the pastries when you speaking with her. And her dad, he is the master creator of the pasta.. and I'm sure most of the other things in the store. The both of them make your experience so pleasurable that it is amazing that you get the quality the taste the personalities of these two all at one location. I would say this is my favorite pastry/pasta shop 100%. The only negatives I see about this business is of course trying to get a parking spot on Broadway Everett, make sure you don't bypass make a few circles or go down the side street because you definitely need to go in here and give your taste buds the pleasure of everything inside this shop. Secondly, if you are handicapped, FYI, there are about 8/10 steps to get up into the shop. And the last which is not a negative it's just more of an anticipation one of my favorite cookies that you can't get anywhere is homemade here. I've been eating these since I was a kid and they are extremely hard to find. Nobody makes them unless you have an aunt or grandmother that actually makes them. If your around Il Pastificio during the holidays, you definitely want to come in and try the homemade Fennel Taralli. Next time I see them I'm grabbing three or four bags. I'm gonna hoard them!!! If you made it this far in the review, God bless you, go buy some some pastry, some pasta or just stop by for a sandwich or a gelato definitely support this business. Not many left like it. So please support them.. I give them 10 stars on a 5 star scale, which is impossible for a mom pop shop, but they deserve it.
