A Little Italy tradition worth every stop!…read more Whenever we head to the Bronx for Italian cold cuts and fresh homemade ravioli, stopping at Delillo Pastry Shop is part of the tradition. We simply can't leave without it. Their cappuccinos are excellent--my personal favorite is the Nutella cappuccino--and my 6-year-old always asks for their rich hot chocolate. Before leaving, we always grab a gelato to go and pick up a box of pastries for the week. Everything we've tried has been fresh, delicious, and beautifully made, and they offer a wonderful variety of classic Italian desserts. The shop itself is small and cozy, which adds to its authentic neighborhood bakery charm. Just keep in mind that there isn't a dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to find street parking--and in Little Italy, that can definitely require a little patience! If you're visiting Arthur Avenue, Delillo Pastry Shop is a stop you shouldn't skip. It's one of those places that keeps you coming back year after year.

Something worth tasting is the pistachio croissant

All in all, fantastic service! -Price- I was having such a good time I honestly was not paying any attention to the prices lol. Looking back at my bank statements, prices are similar to any other establishment these days, but felt more valuable if that makes sense lol -Did Not Like- N/A! -Noteworthy- See service! -Recommend- Yes!

What made this neighborhood important to me as a child is GINOS PASTRY…read more 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.

I've been craving chocolate-dipped cannolis for months, but resisted buying them because in my…read more"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!

We chose this spot for a family reunion, and they made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was incredible. I had the Pork Chop Scarparo--perfectly cooked and full of amazing flavor. The pasta was spot‑on too and cooked just right. I had the garlic and oil side dish which was simple but delicious. There are plenty of great places in the area, but Antonios definitely deserves a spot on your list. It made our family gathering feel special, and the meal was unforgettable.

This is a well known bakery right in the heart of the South Bronx! (BX Stand Up!) I've brought the…read moresame cake from this place years ago. The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

As soon as you step inside, you're taken by how large and how clean Artuso is. It is very well lit, and all of these things make it very easy for you to focus on those glass cases full of sweets. Their selection is extremely large and contains all that you would expect (biscotti, rainbow cookies, b&w's, pignolis, etc) as well as Italian ice and various other treats. The line moved fast, and the workers were extremely helpful as we ordered our rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies with cannoli cream. The pignoli were great...they had that signature almond taste, just right. Very enjoyable. And the cannoli cream center was a nice touch, and very good as well. The rainbow cookies were ok. Admittedly, I have a very high bar for rainbows, so I hold them to a high standard...and they were good, just not as flavorful/almondy as I particularly prefer. In all, Artuso is a great stop. A perfect post lunch/dinner spot to grab a quick snack to cap off a meal. Definitely check it out.

If you're in Little Italy in The BX, Gene Bean's your sweet tooth's paradise! This Arthur Ave spot…read moreis your answer for ice cream, Zeppoles, Churros (yeah...those too) and of course- Italian Icee. Hubs and I had the most decadent Lemon Italian Icee at an old-time pizzeria in Brooklyn not long ago. Since then, they've been our trustworthy blueprint for Lemon Icee. Gene Bean's located inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market and came up as "Ice Cream and Sorbet"- offering other sweet treats too. A big check mark for these guys because these Zeppoles are fresh and fried on the spot- but were heavy and thick- missing that true, light feel. Our Italian Icee experience was decent though. When everything was said and done, popping the trunk to enjoy our treats, was a nice ending in Little Italy at night.

The cups for the scoops didn't have lids that fit, so I ended up tying individual plastic bags around each and hoping it would work.

Though again, the staff seemed confused how to make it and kept asking me which ice cream flavor and how many espresso shots. I'd go back for an affogato in the future, in house only.

We grabbed a slice of cake and a couple of drinks, and everything was enjoyable. Nothing was over-the-top, but it definitely hit the spot. It's a comfortable place to relax, catch up with someone, and enjoy a coffee and dessert without feeling rushed. One thing to keep in mind: street parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, so plan ahead and give yourself a few extra minutes. Overall, a pleasant local coffee spot that's worth checking out if you're in the area.
