a box of pastries
Michele C.

Many childhood memories come to mind when I enter into this bakery! I've been coming here my whole life. Their cannolis are amazing and filled to order so they don't get soggy. The pastry, coffee cake, in my pic is always fresh and reminds me of one my great grandmother used to make. They sell pies, cakes, Italian cookies, donuts and many other bakery items. Prices are very reasonable and the owners are always present.

I went to marianna's belltoo bakery on Christmas Eve to pick up bread and Italian pastries. It's a family run bakery. The whole family was working. Purchased my order they were very friendly. My family devoured the pastries. I highly recommend this bakery. . They make homemade cakes and tons of other baked goods.

I stopped in recently for the first time in several years in order to purchase a couple of cheese danishes for our breakfast, but was disappointed to discover only strawberry and pineapple in the display case. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I settled on a pair of cinnamon buns that were quite large and more than reasonably priced. Though delicious, the buns must have been carryovers from the prior day because they were stale.

The king of Cannolis, light and airy... They fill it upon order so they're always fresh!

Best Cannolis in the area and probably the entire state yes that includes the famous places like Del Prete. The prices are more than reasonable for the amazing food that they make. Warm feeling from the owner who is very friendly and sweet. The Cannolis are to die for. They fill their Cannolis when you order them so they're always fresh. The shells are thin, airy and crisp and break clean when you bite into them. The filling is sweet, yet not over powering and the perfect whipped consistency. Eating canollis from Marianna's is like biting into a cloud its light and airy not dense and filling, which makes you feel good and not guilty about eating a few of them haha. For me, its 100% worth the 40 minute drive, especially for a holiday treat for my family.

I just stopped in for a quick snack and had the best freshest cannoli ever. Fast friendly service and too much to choose from. I can't wait to go back and try more.

Amazing!!! My favorite bakery. My family's favorite bakery...just awesome. Everything they make is incredible. Their prices are reasonable and the service is exceptional. The only downside is the location...but they can't help that. They wouldn't be the belltop bakery if they moved. Best cannoli's ever too. They made my wedding cake in May. Couldn't have been more impressed. Just gorgeous. The colors were so perfect. Everything was just wonderful. Can't thank them enough. Can't love them enough!!! I also attached photos of our beautiful cake!

This guy got a delicious birthday surprise from Marianna's!

So I'm in Meriden for a 24-hour pinball tournament in what appears to be an abandoned building and it's the love of my life's birthday (I know, I know, but that's all true). I wanted to do something nice and surprise him with a huge cake even though he absolutely hates surprises and birthdays in general. The first place I called refused to even take an order over the phone, but Marianna went above and beyond. She went from being a baker to being a great co-conspirator in making this happen! I ordered a large marble sheet cake over the phone a few days before. The price was prettt reasonable for how big this thing was. The day of, Marianna was basically on call with the cake delivery to ensure I could sneak it into the building covertly. And she even stopped at the dollar store for plates, forks, and candles since I couldn't get ahold of that stuff without ruining the surprise. The cake was beautiful AND delicious! The tournament had about 100 competitors - some of the best pinball players in the world - and they all raved about it!

Delicious pastries in a cute lil' shop, If you're in the area, I think you should stop. The selection had me drooling, I needed a mop, The sugar fired me up, and I did the bunny hop. Stopped in Sunday morning after church. I am a doughnut/donut connoisseur and wanted to see what Meriden had to offer. Was greeted promptly upon entering, but was given a bit of an attitude. I asked about the different flavors of doughnuts and was treated like I was an inconvenience. Maybe it was an off-day, and I'll try again after mass next week. For doughnuts they had your standard flavors: old-fashioned, fruit-filled, and bavarian cream-filled. I got a Boston cream, and it was good. Fluffy dough, loaded up with cream filling, and a touch of chocolate on top. Definitely a step above Dunkin' given its size and extra filling. There was also a wide selection of cakes, cookies, cannolis, and muffins. My doughnut came to 85 cents out the door. Good price, and good way to start the day.

A surprisingly good bakery, that is a little too happy to wear it's success on it's sleeve…read more In a restored factory in Southington is a little hipster foodie mecca. With axe throwing, a retro arcade, coffee, chocolate, and this bakery. I got to explore the exposed brick and large filament lights of this specific locale, and picked up some sweets from this little shop. It's very much loud and proud in it's appearances on popular food television. Having pride in your success is a good thing, but it's very much in your face about it. It also prices accordingly, making the price of the baked goods you get at least a couple bucks extra. Thankfully, the baked goods are actually pretty good. We got a couple misfits, a couple french macarons, and one of the dessert waffles they had. The misfit muffins tasted pretty good, soft and light, not too sweet, and well balanced. The French macarons, they were not too great. the filling was sweet but lacking depth. they were pretty though. The standout was the Dessert waffle. Sweet, crispy but cakey, and plenty of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. A surprising bite, and tasty. Overall, it's a good dessert place to go to and try out. Not worth a trek,but a solid choice for that specific area

Hardcore Sweet is a bakery that opened in Watertown, Connecticut in 2012. It was founded by husband…read moreand wife Jeremy and Nicole Braddock. The bakery was initially founded as a cupcake truck. The two bakers were then featured on Food Network shows such as "Winner Cake All" and "Cupcake Wars", winning the latter. After that, they opened their first brick and mortar bakery. Most recently they competed on the Netflix show "Sugar Rush". A second location opened in Southington at the historic Factory Square complex in October 2021. Another location once existed at the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester, but it has since closed. The locations offer cupcakes, custom cakes, cake pops, whoopie pies, cookies and muffins. I stopped at the Southington location of Hardcore Sweet for the first time this past July. Several businesses located at Factory Square were offering special menu items to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday. Factory Square is located conveniently alongside the popular Farmington Canal Trail, so I cycled there. Hardcore Sweet had several Harry Potter offerings that day, but by the time I had arrived most of them were sadly sold out. I ordered one of the few Harry Potter treats that they had left: Buckbeak's Breakfast Cupcake. It was delicious! I definitely need to come back to try more of their tasty treats on a future visit to Factory Square. I just need to get there earlier in the day when their selection is bigger.

Swung by Mozzicato's Bakery & Pastry shop for last-minute desserts for a birthday meal. It's one of…read morethe closest bakeries nearby and we've had their cannoli on occasion at family gatherings. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the overwhelming range of pastries, cookies, cakes and other italian desserts. It was impressive. We decided on a variety of desserts that could be sampled for that evening. The Lemon Cheesecake slices were a must and we got two. We tried two of their Cream Horns, one topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips and the other, milk chocolate chips. We got a standard Cookies & Cream Cake slice that had chocolate cake with a cookies and cream frosting. Our last slice was a ricotta and chocolate cream cake, the texture was like pudding! We really enjoyed all the treats. The lemon cheesecake was my favorite; tangy, rich, smooth and buttery crust. The young lady that served us was helpful, but we felt the vibe that she was a little annoyed. Firstly, none of the items in the pastry cases had display labels. It was a lot of pointing and asking what was what. Secondly, I have a few food allergies. She said she would let us know. We were picking pastries and cakes solely from their looks or what we thought they were. I think it would be more efficient if the items were clearly marked, especially with the large variety Mozzicato's has. I think we would stop in at Mozzicato's again. The bakery is large with seating inside and outside to have a treat and a cup of coffee. The price for 6 pasties/slices was pleasantly surprising and not too expensive.

Came in on a Sunday morning to get some pastry and a coffee. They didn't have any coffee…read moreavailable.."I'd have to brew it for you and it takes too long." Everything felt sort of scarce. I attached it below, but the cannoli was hollow on the inside too. Was going to sit down and enjoy things, but felt more like I was bothering the staff by being here, so I left. I have been looking for a good Italian bakery as I'm new to the area, but was sad to come across this place...was not very 'Italian bakery-ish' hah. Can't recommend.
