I would like to send my best wishes to Kyra!!!…read more We ordered a chocolate cake and a strawberry mousse cake. Both were delicious and cooked flawlessly. I also appreciated the fact that Kyra did not try to upsell us. We asked her how much cake we needed for the # of guests we have. Both she and the baker said that the order we entered would be a LOT of cake and would result in massive leftovers. We would not have space in our fridge for that much leftover cake. I appreciated the fact that Kyra was honest and gave us a good recommendation as opposed to trying to sell us more than what we needed. That type of professional honesty results in repeat customers. And 5 stars on Yelp! Both of the cakes we were delicious.

Milani Italian Bakery & Café is an Italian Pastry Bakery that opened in Northford, Connecticut in…read more2003. It was founded by husband and wife Italian immigrants Emilio and Marina Milani. After 25 years in the bakery business in the Italian village of Moricone (outside of Rome), the Milanis decided to leave their homeland and share their culinary Italian culture in the United States. After arriving in 1993, the couple opened a gourmet coffee shop named 'Coffee Island Cafe' where they specialized in sandwiches, panini, and other baked goods. 10 years later, they opened their own Italian bakery in the center of Northford. Emilio comes from a long line of classical Italian bakers and credits his father Tullio for teaching him the craft. The Milanis' son, also named Tullio, works alongside them at the bakery as well. Some of the specialties at this 'pasticceria' include cakes, pies, cannoli, sfogliatelle, lobster tails, bughinotti, almond tarts, cream puffs, éclairs, zeppole, various Italian cookies, panettone, hot cross buns, stuffed breads, Italian bread, gelato, and Italian coffee. My family and I recently stopped in at Milani's to get some delicious pastries. Although we've lived nearby for years, we had only just heard of them and wanted to give them a try. We were greeted by Marina when we walked in. She was very friendly and we chatted for a while. We decided to get a box of delicious Florentine cookies, as well as a large Sprinkle cookie for our older son. I also ordered their Chocolate Lemon Pie, which is my favorite kind of pie in the world! Although I've tried several Chocolate Lemon Pies from various area bakeries over the years, we thought that Milani's take on it was one of the better ones! Marina also insisted that we sample some of their cannoli before we left. They were delicious! We are lucky to have some excellent Italian bakeries in the Greater New Haven area, and Milani's is no exception!

Service was not great. The rainbow cookies I did get were different from others I have had elsewhere and I could not detect any jelly in between the layers. There was also a chemical like taste-most likely a cheap sugar alcohol. Not to my liking. The other 2 cookies were ok,but nothing I would come for again. Only on street parking. I do not plan to return and would recommend venturing elsewhere.

We made chocolate caramel cookies, shaped decorated sugar cookies, raspberry jam thumbprint cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. Getting almost all our Christmas cookie baking done as a date night in 2 hours was awesome! Lots of fun conversations, great group of people, everything prepped and ready for us to roll, shape, decorate, bake and then put it in a fabulous cookie container. We signed up for the March St Patricks day class on the spot! They also offer a cannoli class, and a Valentines class. Soooo worth it. I love to visit them on the green in East Haven at the farmers market too.

The cinnamon rolls were a standout and truly lived up to the hype! I highly recommend having them warmed up before eating, as it makes them even better.

If you prefer something ready-made, their menu has great options as well. I tried the caprese toast, which was EXCELLENT.

So, with route guidance in hand, I ventured out to discover their offering. I was greeted by a bright smiling lass who directed me to 3 variations, plain, cheddar and rye.

As soon as I get into the car, I had to sample. What a pleasant surprise, it was delicious... The texture was chewy and "sour" just the way it should be. No air holes or gaps. Subsequently, that evening, I made grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches using Gruyère cheese to complement the flavor of the bread.... Mindblower!! I give this a 5 star rating !! Enjoy !
