Went to Gino's today, dying for a Napoleon. I walked in, and all that was on. The shelves was some sesame seed, cookies, and two heart pastries with that white icing. I was so disappointed . So I asked the girl if they ever have Napoleon or cream puffs or anything and she said yeah but you have to order it the day before you want it and then she'll make it or whatever items she makes daily she said usually goes in the morning. That if you want something you have to go early in the morning to get it before it's gone. So she gave me her card so that I can order what I want when I want it which is good cause I know it's gonna be fresh. It's very small in there, and their hours are very short they close at 2 PM every day and they don't have a menu to look at to see what they have normally or what you can have made for you. I did buy one of the heart pastries. It was five dollars which is not bad because that thing was huge and I gave it to my mom. It looks delicious. She'll have to let me know how it tastes. I will have to place an order for some Napoleon, cream puffs, some other Italian cookies, etc. in the future and then I can give a better review. read more

Gino's Italian Bakery - a view of the front window of a car - Bakeries Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Every baked good they make are DELICIOUS. The bread is unbeatable. Sometimes, fresh out of the oven if you're lucky. But go early as it sells very quickly. The woman who usually works the counter is simply a delight. read more

Stopped at this bakery this past weekend on a Saturday. Even though I arrived late, was glad to pick up a Thanksgiving cookie, and fresh Italian bread sliced. Though, I would have prefered it without the seeds, the taste alone with or without seeds didnt matter was your authentic Italian bread. I think they must run out of things earlier on in the morning, as it was pretty empty when I arrived mid afternoon. Still a pleasent experience for a fast bakery visit. read more

Tomato Pie similar to what you get in Utica. Not many places know or even make tomato pie in WNY.

I've got four words for my reader: Old-fashioned tomato pie. This, along with all kinds of Italian cookies and breads and sweet things, can be found at this bakery. I love that it's right by my house and I just discovered it. read more

I thought Gino worked a diner all day. Jon told me. Turns out Gino actually works an Italian Bakery, but not all day. Just until he runs out of stuff, which is often early. This is a nice bakery with really nice service that runs out of everything really early. I would have thought that since I came all the way here after calling ahead and then they were out of everything that they said they had half an hour earlier that I would have been given some consideration, but no, so I just bought whatever was left over and I thought it was really good. Bordering on five star but until I get to try all the stuff that keeps selling out I will give it a four. Very healthy four. With 5 stars for the nice lady working here. read more

Purchased an almond ring yesterday for the first time. Never knew why I waited so long since I live within walking distance. It was great! Probably too good because now I'm looking forward to my next one. People working there do a nice job. Good to know there is still an old school bakery with quality baked goods read more

Amazing pastry! Got an almond ring and cherry danish... and was right with what I was craving.

Ginos Italian Bakery has many delicious offerings to choose from. Italian specialty cookies, pastries and cakes. I've had some of the cookies and enjoyed them, but I usually come for the Ricotta Log. An $8 breakfast danish filled with canoli-type filling made of ricotta, sugar, vanilla, and chocolate chips. You cant find that available at most bakeries, so it's a treat. I find that they tend to frost all of their baked goods very heavily, so if your not a fan of overly sweet desserts, you may not prefer these. The pastaccoti are very tender but over frosted, in my opinion. I have to be in the mood. They carry sfingi only around the St. JOSEPH'S holiday. I have yet to try the cassata, but hear the cupcakes are great. The canoli is filled when you order it, as it should be, so it doesn't get soggy. The shell is thicker than im used to, but its still bubbly and freshly fried. The filling is not very sweet. Great for people who like that lighter type of dessert. Everything is freshly made and made with good quality ingredients. They also sell a Tomato Pie by the $2 slice which reminds me of my grandma's old world pizza. The new location on Kenmore Ave is convient for me, but not as visually appealing as the old bakery on Hertel. The building is old, not very well kept up by the landlord and small. The old cement steps are crumbling. The space seems too small and crowded for the busy and talented bakers. read more

The pastries that I bought were amazing. The young lady behind the counter was courteous and helpful.

I stopped in here to pick something up for a wine and cheese party that I was attending that evening. The place smelled delicious! Not knowing exactly what I looking for, I asked the baker for a suggestion. She pointed out some items in the display cases but nothing seemed appropriate for my need. THEN she told me about some of the pastries that were on the cooling racks. She showed me what she referred as a Ricotta Log. Fresh out of the oven. It was a light pastry about 14 inches long, 5 inches across and filled with a ricotta filling just like that of a cannoli. Sounds like cheese to me -- a little different, but perfect for the wine and cheese party I was attending. Since it was still warm out of the oven, we decided that it would be best if I stopped by a little later so that the glazed frosting could be applied. When I came back a couple hours later she had it set aside for me (see photo). Since I was there, I decided to try one of their best selling Italian cookies also - a glazed fig cookie. It was great. The Ricotta Log was a HUGE success at the party I attended. It was absolutely delicious and far lighter that it looked. Everyone was raving about it. If you are looking for a different dessert I highly recommended this one! AND it was only $8!! I suggest calling first because I believe that they only make a couple of them a day. This afternoon I stopped by Gino's again to let the very kind and helpful baker know how happy I was with the Ricotta Log. (I wish that I got her name - she is so pleasant.) Naturally I took the opportunity to sample a couple more baked goods - four bite sized Italian cookies for $2 (they are priced by weight, but I'm not sure of the price per pound). Again, I was very pleased. read more

Will never eat from here even thou passing by smells wonderful but the fact of them not using gloves is not for me ever....

Fantastic bakery i go every week.the tomato pie is great and so are the pastries. Long live ginos Italian bakery

Their pasticotti is the best thing I've ever tasted. I drive all the way from Indianapolis in order to buy it. It's a sweet, creamy ricotta/cannoli filling inside a delicate, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pie shell. Everyone needs to experience this!!! read more

No idea how good it is since I went at 9:30am to place a cake order but the door was still locked (supposed to open at 8 am) and the work inside waved for me to go away when I knocked the door. I drove down the street to another Italian bakery and ordered from them, I suspect they will be out of business soon. read more

GET THE ALMOND RING. You won't be sorry! The first time I tasted it, I ended up eating a quarter of it in one sitting. I smartened up the next time and split a third with my friend, immediately gave a third to my neighbor, and wrapped up the last third to give to my mom. I've had other pastries like the raspberry twist and cannolis (which both are delicious), but I always go back to the almond ring. The filling to pastry ratio is much higher than a typical almond ring and tastes delicious. It's addicting. An added bonus is that you'll find them at the North Tonawanda Farmers Market on Saturday Mornings. read more

Whoa. The best Italian pastries I've had the pleasure of consuming in a lonnng time. The almond ring is perfect - not too sweet, comprised of a wonderful, moist almond paste sandwiched between soft danish pastry. The ricotta roll is something else. It's essentially a cannoli but with soft buttery pasty instead of crisp shells. The ricotta itself is smooth and only slightly sweetened; it's pretty addictive. I haven't been to the shop itself, only tried some of its specialties at family parties -- but I highly recommend picking up some of the desserts here to share at your next gathering. And grab extra, because it'll be gone in a flash! read more

Ordered the Cassata Cupcakes for my Sicilian mother-in-law's 91st birthday. Pretty and delicious! The cupcakes were so moist and the filling was authentic and tasty. Am definitely going back. So happy to have a go-to italian bakery now, have driven by it thousands of times and just never went in. Go in!! Parking in rear! Can't wait to try her bread next. And the italian cookies! read more

My rating is based strictly on cannolis. WORST IVE EVER HAD! I can't speak for the rest of the pastries but I had them at the Italian festival 2015 and after one bite I threw them in the trash read more

The staff is less apt than one might hope for. They do not tell the truth about getting their items, even thought they are busy and tell a walk in customer that you do not need to have an order in place. Even when they tell you to come back the next day and they would indeed have cookies, but no they acted shocked that I followed their request and gave me attitude that I wanted to get a small amount of cookies. Unbelievable. read more

At first I could not find this bakery, it's front entrance is on Covin, corner to Kenmore. The cookies were great. A small bakery many don't know about and probably never been to. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. The pastries, cookies, almond log, napoleons are all great tasting and at a good proce. Parking is found on the Colvin side. Fresh bakery items wiith a delicious taste. read more
