Instead we got a variety of desserts... The best thing was the Lindzer cookie. We also tried an eclair, and 3 flavors are cannolis. The cannolis were prefilled, not filled fresh, but they were still delicious. They had some inventive flavors you don't typically see. I would go back, but I will try the Italian ice next time!

My family also tried a few cannolis and a black and white cookie, they loved tbe cannolis, but the b&w cookie was a bit crunchier than expected but still good! We went later in the day so selection was somewhat limited, but there was still plenty to choose from. Loved seeing that they've been around since 1922!! Always nice to support a long-standing local bakery.

But we ended up being disappointed in the pastries and overall vibe of the place. There is very little sitting and sitting is limited in time to give others a chance to sit (fair). They have lots of pastries options but we opted for their seasonal pear tarte and sesame miso cookie. The tarte was dry and the mousse on top was unbelievably salty. It did not pair well together. We did find out that the pears were locally sourced though which was nice. The cookie was also dry and a bit tough. Overall, execution for this place was beautiful but the desserts were lackluster. When you come here you definitely pay for the aesthetics and not the taste.

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!

So parking-or walking-should not be bad. Service was fast- a minute?. I got a waffle cone with two scoops of their blueberry cheesecake ice cream. The ice cream actually had chunks of cheesecake in there. Flavor was definitely there. Sweet but not overpowering. I can just picture a line on a very hot day. Is this the "best desert place ever in the world and your life is nothing without trying it"? No. It is a place that I would like to try again. A place that made good ice cream that met my sweet tooth. Portions may be a little pricy- expect maybe $10 per person? Again, this was my experience. Hope yours is enjoyable as well.

Guava heaven. I'd been introduced to guava pastries on a visit to Tampa and figured I'd never see…read morethem up here... but wait! Here is Pan Del Cielo 2 to the rescue. On my first visit, there were at least 4 different pastry types filled with or topped with guava, as well as generous use of pineapple, my second favorite pastry filling. I'd expected a limited selection of baked goods, but the cases of pastries and desserts were on a par with what I see at the Italian bakeries. Do you need Puerto Rican pastries in your life? Yes, you do. The selection runs more to puff pastry and soft yeast doughs than what I've seen at Mexican panaderias in the west (which is fine by me, I am delighted by anything filled). There are also sandwiches on the menu which, um, I was so excited by pastries that I forgot to order one. Maybe next time. Staff was super-nice. Prices are very reasonable.
