What made this neighborhood important to me as a child is GINOS PASTRY GINOS was relevant as it is a family style pastry shop that smiled and greeted you with welcoming arms where my Mama loved to frequent on Saturdays to get pastries and fresh ground coffee while I would indulge with Raspberry Babolonis; donuts with extra powdered sugar and a chocolate gelato icecream. The best treat and time for Mommy daughter and the friendly hometown Italian shop. This was also a time when women had just been given power to make choices about financial means in the household and have bank accounts in their names. The world was changing and INCLUSION was the glow on America's faces for all races. I saw Saturdays and Mommy/Daughter time to do girl things. I hope other little boys and girls can create memorable times like I have over the years. read more

The best cannoli I've ever eaten (and I ate cannoli at a couple of other pastry shops along Arthur Ave today too). Filled and dipped to order. This was our last stop, eating our way through various shops here, and I could barely handle another bite. But I'm so glad we stopped here because these are absolutely the best cannoli in the area. read more

Decent old school Italian bakery. Fresh filled cannoli was amazing. Also tried some assorted cookies and biscotti that could have been fresher. High marks for the cannoli though! read more

I've been craving chocolate-dipped cannolis for months, but resisted buying them because in my "cannoli daydream, " they are out of this world. I happened to be in the Bronx and lo and behold, Gino's appeared. Actually, my friend was shopping at the bakery a few days before while talking with me on the phone. I asked her to ask if they made cannolis because I've been craving them for months, but didn't want mediocre pastries. People, please know that Gino's is cannoli heaven, and they surpassed my expectations. They had mini cannoli, chocolate dipped cannoli, etc. I understand that they also make a killer pistachio dipped cannoli!!! Gonna try the pistachio next time for sure. In the meantime, I am glad that they are not close to home... CALORIES LOL! read more

There are many great places to go for dinner in the Bronx's Little Italy but only one place to cap off your dinner with a dessert and coffee and that would be this place. The best in cannolis, delicious stuffed donuts, terrific "that pastry I cannot pronounce or spell that starts with an SF ". Looks kind of humble inside, but you will not be disappointed. And, the owner is a very friendly guy. Enjoy now and thank me later. read more

Heavenly perfection! Cannoli get filled when you order them...as it should be! All their pastries look delicious, I want to go back again and again until I try everything. Gino's is a fixture in a highly competitive, no-nonsense cultural oasis, they have to be good! You can't go wrong here. Bring home a box or stop in for a coffee and pastry. Delizioso! read more

My family spent the day at the nearby Botanical Gardens. I saw Gino's on Yelp and knew that we would stop by on the way home. The shop is awesomely old school. The display cases filled with pastries are so inviting. The couple running the place are truly fun people. You can feel their passion for the place. I ordered a double shot of espresso and Gino recommended his warm donut, filled to order with cannoli cream. The donut was fantastic, truly a tasty treat! But I can't say enough about the espresso. It's a really generous pour, the double shot feels substantial. The flavor is absolutely perfect, bold without being overly bitter. Really a great cup of espresso! We took home a box of dessert for later. The cannolis are stunning, obviously filled to order and amazingly crisp. Great tasting filling. Their Napoleon is more enjoyable than others, softer without being soggy. The Napoleon filling wasn't sickeningly sweet either. Also enjoyed a chocolate mousse pastry. Gino's is now part of the Arthur Avenue rotation! read more

Was in the area after a nail appt and wanted something sweet. Gino's is a cozy shop with all kinds of Italian pastries. There are many pictures of patrons over the years on the walls, giving it a homelike feel. They also have a few set of tables if you wanted to sit for your visit. The man taking my order was very kind and friendly. I bought 4 mini cannoli to go. I am not new to cannolis and those were probably some of the best ones I have had in a while. The cannoli was freshly piped when ordering so you don't end up with a softened shell. The cannoli cream was flavorful, bright and not overly sweet. I think it even had a touch lemon zest to it if i I'm not mistaken; which I really enjoyed. The cannoli was finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Those mini cannoli did not last long once I had my fist bite. I will for sure be back to try their other desserts and drinks. I saw a few people coming in for coffee so ill try that next time too. read more

Great ambience and excellent desserts! Good location as well! Service was good; they were attentive

First time visiting the Bronx's Little Italy, and couldn't leave without a rainbow cookie - glad I came here! They had so many delicious things to choose from (everything looked great). Enjoyed my rainbow cookie, and my friend's lobster tail with French vanilla filling was divine! The owners were so friendly & made sure to clean our table for us before we sat down :) read more

I usually get my pastries from Queens. First and last time I will get my pastries from Gino's . Had rainbow cookies very dry no flavor Napoleon/ strawberry shortcake /tiramisu must have been sitting in that refrigerator for quite some time. Cant figure out how anyone can go here and claim these pastries deserve 5 stars. The only good thing here was the woman behind the counter she was great read more

Everything you could ask for in an Italian pastry shop! Perfect butter cookies and Italian cheesecake, and truly yummy cannoli, the best I have ever had, and I am originally a Bronx girl! I normally find cannoli filling too sweet but this was not. They fill the cannoli with a choice of fillings. And the folks who worked there were very nice. read more

Out of the few bakery places I went to in the Bronx, this was the only one to offer a pistachio cannoli. Cream was smoother than the rest I've had, and the shell was crunchy. No nutmeg or cinnamon or prominent spices. Plain and simple and preferably how I like cannolis. Filled to order which is how cannolis should be eaten to avoid getting the shell soggy. read more

Gino's is a classic. Jerome & Joann have been a staple in the area for years, and they run an amazingly old school establishment that locals will recommend to you walking down the street. They have an amazing variety of pastries, with their freshly prepared cannolis being my favorite by far. Stop by for some quick service pastries and a coffee, they have a few convenient seats inside to take advantage of. Every time I am in the area for dinner on Arthur ave, or stopping at the botanical gardens, I stop by here! read more

These cannolis are pretty legit. Massive where a large you can honestly share among 3 people. read more

I hadn't had a cannoli in over a decade because of an unfortunate gluten intolerance...until tonight. I walked into Gino's with my family and discovered they make gluten-free cannoli. I ordered one with a cappuccino, and with the first bite I was transported back to the crispy, rich, delicious cannoli of my childhood. As I ate it, a tear actually rolled down my cheek. It was that good. So if you're gluten-free and craving a cannoli, don't walk- RUN to Gino's Bakery. read more

Got two sfogliatelle here and they were amazing. This is a classic Arthur Avenue pastry shop and you couldn't go wrong getting anything here. Like most places on Arthur Avenue I would recommend bringing cash but they take cards as well. I'll definitely be back here, can't stop thinking about the sfogliatelle! read more

Wandered into this eatery on my first visit to Arthur Avenue and was completely happy I did. Filled with locals sipping cappuccinos and snacking on cannolis, I was excited to try their pastries! As expected, cannolis are a can't miss in addition to their rainbow cookies and mini cheesecakes read more

Not only is the service and the food sweets the snacks the coffee espresso absolutely delicious and the best you can get around. The owner is the most kindest and down to earth person you will ever meet when you walk into Gino's you walk and for the best Patriots and coffee in town but you leave with a lifelong friend. Absolutely love this place and will be going back! read more

Best cannoli I've ever had. Great service. Enough said, but I need at least 85 characters.

I've been to Arthur Ave a few times this year and my favorite pastry shop to visit is definitely Gino's. I always get the mini cannolis which imo are reasonably priced and always taste so yum. I love the old school vibe of the shop and would recommend that you try out their cannolis and carrot cake!! read more

Look, bakeries are hard to choose. Especially in an area that has many (in this case, Little Italy in the Bronx). And then you have consider if maybe the bakery is only good for one thing. At Gino's you're assured to be getting the best of everything. Yes, get the cannoli. But also, everything else. I recently special ordered a rainbow cookie-crusted cheesecake for my mother's birthday. Jerome "Gino" and the staff were so easy to order from and he even called back to make sure all the details were correct. I shlepped this cake across state lines and it was in pristine condition and my hard-to-please mother was speechless. Said it was the best cake she's ever had. And I sort of agree. So if you're scouting for a bakery while in Little Italy, make this your go-to. read more

I had seen so many pictures and rave reviews of the "donnili" aka the cannoli donut and was so excited when I finally made it to the shop. I tried a donut filled with each flavor: cannoli, Boston cream, strawberry, strawberries and cream, and lemon. Although the donuts looked like sandwiches and not like others' pictures, they still looked pretty and promising. Quick ride to Pelham Pkwy 15 min later I bit into the famous freshly-filled donnoli. The delicious filling could not save the overall impression. That and all the other donuts I just picked up were stale. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed and unhappy with every single donut and couldn't even give them away. Thankfully, I had also picked up a slice of the (in order of favorites) napoleon, tres leche, tiramisu, and lemon coconut cake. The cakes are very good. It was not my lucky day for a donnoli. Buyer beware. If you go, try to grab other treats as backup. read more

What a treasure right around the corner from the famed Arthur Ave!! Stopped in just by chance and what a delicious pleasure. Cannolis are made to order with love and expertise by Jerome himself!! It's a family affair and we also tasted his dad's recipe for biscotti - just the right texture and taste for eating alone or dipping!! We enjoyed all the family stories and mama is such a delight. Thank you and we will be back to try even more family treats! read more

$4 for a cannoli, these are empty shells before purchase so when you order one, they fill it generously with the cream. They asked me if i wanted chocolate chips or pistachio. I opted for pistachio since i never had this on a cannoli before. The cream however had some hidden chocolate chips in it which was a pleasant surprise read more

Amazing bakery. Gino is so nice and a sweet person. His pastries are like no other and when l mean like no other l mean like no other. He made coffee for us without asking and made fresh canollis for us the Italian authentic way. We are from Miami and we were impressed with Gino's customer service. We never get treated that way in Florida. We wish there were more people like Gino. And l wish South Florida made pastries like Gino's in Miami. So it was a privilege getting to know him and we are never going to forget the experience we had. He even let us take pics of the store and took a pic with me outside. He was so attentive. So if you want real Bronx Italian bakery experience go visit Gino's Pastries and you will remember us. Is canollis were fresh and better than Mike's Pastries. Still craving that canolli. read more

Service was terrible. My boyfriend and I ordered 4 shots of espresso, a small banana bread (that was stale), a tiny flaky croissant type pastry, and an everything (toasted) butter bagel. 4 espresso shots came out to $14 dollars!! Everything else added up to be $23 dollars. We did not understand that at all. We gave Giovanna a $20 in between customers and she seemed flustered, she told us, "wait, you owe $3 more dollars". My boyfriend could not believe we were getting ripped off by a supposedly neighborhood gem that looked dirty and unwelcoming. I will not support this place and how they do business. Small place with Manhattan prices, truly unbelievable! read more

Being in Little Italy in the Bronx, you can't leave without grabbing a box of cannolis on the way home. A quick Google search and Gino's Pastry Shop was on top of the list. The shop is also featured in The Bronx Tale on Broadway as part of their set, which is pretty cool. Walking in the bakery, it's not a frills type of place. Very simple with a counter to order your goods. When ordering cannolis you can choose either the small or large ones depending what you are feeling that day. They are piped fresh to order and you have a choice to have them dipped on the ends with chips, pistachios or both. The texture of the cannoli shell is perfect along with the creamy ricotta cheese filling in each bite. Looking forward to returning again in the future. read more

The oatmeal cookie is amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone needing to satisfy a sweet tooth.

It was our first time visiting Arthur Ave. and we really wanted a cannoli. These are the best cannolis I have had outside of Italy. The shells were crispy and the filling was just enough sweet. We got several other pastries as well and they were all delicious. Jerome was legendary. He knew everything about the neighborhood and gave us some great food suggestions. We would definitely make another trip to the Bronx for any of their pastries. read more

The cannolis here are the best. Make the trip it's worth the time on a train to visit the shop and get fresh cannolis and other favorites made fresh. You'll be treated like family as well. read more

Met Jerome & Joann last Saturday when my 3 friends & I stopped in for cannoli & sfogliatelle which was to die for! We had such a nice visit talking about the celebrity photos on their wall. We laughed & joked like family, they even invited us to share a glass of wine with them, what an experience! Can't wait to stop back in to see them again.

Delicious chocolate cannolis, cappuccino was wonderful too! Sat outside on a table in front, the sidewalk. It was dirty, noisy & smelled like marijuana. Mopeds flew past us on the sidewalk with noisy boom boxes. Our pastries tasted like weed. It was quite a scene read more
