Love their coffee and pastries !! Attentive staff, great spread .. Their pasta also looks good. Would like to try soon. Bellissimo !! read more

Amazing cakes and pastries. Very good quality. Definitely recommend to make trip there.

This place is divine. Not only do they have excellent espresso, they also serve food, gelato, and pastries. I've had their lobster tails, espresso, and caprese sandwich. Lobster tail: perfect. Espresso: perfect. Caprese: perfect. Everything is so fresh, delicious, and so reasonably priced!!! I love it :) read more

Palazzone is authentic as it gets; we have visited and ordered whole cakes for functions. The pistachio cake is our favorite... so good. We try to come here often... it never disappoints! read more

Haven't had this amazing fresh Italian food or legitimate gelato since I lived in Italy. Simplicity is key and they nailed it. Everything was perfect. The panino with prosciutto and mozzarella di buffala, the pomodoro spaghetti, the espresso and cappuccino... Everything. I would like to go back every day of the week. The only thing that sucks is the location. I wish it wasn't in the corner of like 3 highways that are merging and splitting - makes it more of a trek to get there and get out of there. It is DEFINITELY worth it though! read more

My husband and are regulars at Palazzone and I finally decide to give it a well deserved review. The minute I step foot into this hidden gem I am instantly transported back to Italy. This is a great place for lunch or a quick dessert/coffee break. On Saturday we went to lunch here. I had the Veronica Panini. It has Prosciutto, Brie Cheese, Arugula and Truffle Oil. Soo Soo good. My husband had the special risotto of the day Cacio de Pepe, which was amazing to say the least. I am still dreaming of this dish. Dessert we had two cappuccinos and the pastries with sweeten whipped cream filling yum. Overall I can not say enough great things about Palazzone. Its really one of the best if you appreciate real Italian style bakeries you would absolutely love this. read more

Rum sponge cake, with Chantilly cream and fresh berries....MUST HAVE one each! It's sooooo good...do NOT share and make them get their own :) You're welcome! read more

Literally the four stars are for the lobster tail, which is a MUST TRY! Next time I go (which is the next time I go to the Willowbrook Mall since it's 5 mins away) I'm going to get a box full of them. I love the filling but love the pastry shell even more, so I'd probably opt for a few more small lobster tails instead of the big ones. Didn't really like the eclair...filling tasted weird. Chocolate cake was only okay. Pistachio cream puff was nice and light, but it was so light that the pistachio flavor didn't come through. Cannoli was good. Again, liked the shell more than the cream. I was an idiot and didn't fridge the rest of the pastries, including some other cream puffs and such. So the next day the cream had gone kinda sour. But all of the pastries should really be eaten day of (the crispy dough gets soggy really quickly, like with the lobster tail and cannoli) read more

My go to, for my desserts, whether for personal a treat, or when I go somewhere designated with dessert duty. Their service is great and genuine, you're always engaged by someone, and can't leave without my cappuccino its a must. I love it, and my friends who live a bit away love it to. The quality is worth every penny. Enjoy. read more

This place is adorable. The first person I spoke to only understood Italian, so she immediately grabbed another worker to help us. The staff invited us to try a hazelnut pastry, so we ordered that and a Ferrero Rocher gelato. Also, I'm a cappuccino snob, so I ordered one to try. My boyfriend ordered a cold cappuccino to complete our order. The gelato was incredibly rich and flavorful. Literally a taste of Ferrero Rochers in each bite. The pastries were soft and not overly sweet. They did an excellent job of using American ingredients in Italian pastries. I kept dipping my hazelnut pastry in the cappuccino and they went perfectly together. The cappuccino didn't need any sugar, just as it should be. The milk kept it sweet enough that you tasted just a hint of the bitter espresso. We both didn't like the cold cappuccino as it was overly sweet with chocolate and whipped cream layers. I'm already planning on ordering a birthday cake from here, because how can you really turn down Italian desserts. read more

This place is awesome! I feel like I'm walking into a cafe in Italy every time I come. I love how all of the employees have heavy Italian accents. Even a lot of the customers who come in are Italian and speak Italian to the employees. It's such a bright, happy, and comfortable atmosphere inside. The pastry selection is unreal and you can't go wrong with any of them. The Napoleons, cannolis, rainbow cookies, and Italian horns are my favorites. They also have an amazing coffee selection. I especially love the cappuccino. Another thing that I love about this place is the lunch options. They have great prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwiches that are delicious and served with a huge salad. I have also tried the eggplant and fresh mozzarella and the prosciutto and Brie sandwiches. Everything is always fantastic. They use the best, freshest ingredients and you can tell they put a lot of time and effort into each item. Can't wait to go back and try some more things! read more

This is an update to the issue I had with my custom wedding cake. The staff reached out to me privately to explain where the miscommunication happened and compensated me with their products. I hope there will be less miscommunication in the future from this experience. I appreciate them reaching out for the explanation and compensation. read more

3.5 stars. I was expecting some amazing tasting desserts and coffee based on the reviews here but was slightly disappointed. The fancy coffee drinks were ok- nothing divine or a cup toremember. I go to a lot of coffee spots (lattes and cappuccinos). The cream filled puff and pastry were a bit too sweet. There was nothing spectacular about the chocolate mousse - it was good but not spectacular. Service was fine. Would I come here again? Only if it was in the way and earlier in the day. I would not go out if my way again to try this spot. All in all, I left feeling disappointed because if this is the best, then I'm really confused as to why I have tasted better. 4 stars for the cool looking interior though. Definitely Instagram story worthy :) Tip: if you get a fancy drink, don't take it to go; half of the taste is how it looks. read more

Always a fresh lobster tail and cannoli. There other classics are delicious, too. Café, delish! I've only ordered lunch one time to go, lasagna bolognese. It was indeed authentic, not your typical lasagna with meat sauce you'd get at the Italian restaurant. They've always been accommodating with large orders and even when traveling, the package their desserts to accommodate. read more

Visited 11/5/2015 Yep... I give Palazzone1960 5 stars just like everyone else. A true Italian café and it's right here in Wayne, NJ. Getting into the lot involves a couple of U-turns unless you're coming from the South on Rte. 23... but believe me, like everyone else says, it's worth it. Today my wife and I both had the Veronica panini. (Prosciutto with brie on a baguette) Almost excellent. I say almost because the baguette isn't great. Having just come back from 2 weeks in Paris, where the baguettes are amazing... these baguettes were more chewy and not nearly crusty/crunchy enough. Good... just not great. We also shared a soup... garbanzo beans... potatoes, fresh pasta in a delicious broth... Excellent! We then had to have a lobster-tail (a cream filled sfogliatelle). If you've never had one, you should try one and this place has the best! The coffees too are very good. Nice and smooth... coffee and cappuccino. Service was prompt and attentive. I'm going to have to make this a regular stop. read more

Had strawberry chocolate mousse cake for a friend's birthday and its really really good. Really worth it!

Fresh and beautiful Italian pastries. Owners are pleasant and make you feel like family. Happy to see them flourish from Italy. All items taste fantastic and even have a lunch menu. read more

Had a poor experience at Palazonne this afternoon. As the cafe primarily serves desserts and pastries, they also offer sandwiches for lunch so I had stopped by for one. I asked the cashier for the lunch menu and she stared at me as if I was in the wrong restaurant, and I had to point her to the small lunch menu behind her. I ordered 2 sandwiches with this distracted cashier and the sandwiches took over 25 minutes to be prepared ( one was a cold sandwich...). The cafe is a rather tight space with a small area for indoor seating guests. As we were waiting for over 20 minutes we stood over by the indoor seating guests ( of which there was 1 table occupied) and were asked by a gentleman watching this seating that we should not stand there. After about 20 minutes another cashier asked me if I had received my sandwich of which I replied "no, do you know where it is?! " Overall the staff could've been more professional, friendly, attentive but the sandwich was fine $13 for a sandwich read more

Great quality of pastries, the pizza rustica is delicious along with Pannettone. Very pricey but worth it for special occasions and holidays read more

Environment is amazing. Customer service was great and there's enough parking even on a crowded day. I got the chocolate dipped jelly filled cookies and several cannolis. Everything taste so fresh and amazing plus you get a little taste of Italy just being in there. I came in at 4pm on a Saturday just to give you guys an idea that the place was pretty full. it was still welcoming and fast. The only thing that might be annoying is driving in the actually parking LOT because if you are heading south you will have to make a U- Turn just to get in and with the mall being next to it most of the time It will be busy coming in and out of there BUT besides that. It's all worth it!! read more

Authentic perfection ! No need for any further explanation ! Desserts, sandwiches, gnocchi are all spot on

If the other guests in my party was rating, this may have gotten an extra star but this is based on my lunch alone. The place is small and unless you are familiar with the NJ no left turns thing, it's a little hard to get to from 46. Anyway, the place is more like a bakery that offers a lunch menu and the baked goods look very good. They have a limited food menu and a specials board. The board is in Italian which is a nice touch but when you combine that with a server who had a thick Italian accent, it makes it a little difficult to understand what you are ordering. I was with a vendor partner and they were buying so I told myself I'd be good and not turn into Larry David. They made it difficult when the food comes out and everyone has full plates and I get a small square of eggplant parmigiana and nothing else. I mean no bread, no salad, no pasta, niente (that's Italian for nothing btw). The server even made a funny comment when my plate was empty seconds later with something to the effect of "oh, you didn't like it huh?" followed by the requisite laughter. I felt like saying well there was no more than about 5 bites on my plate so how can I be sure? I didn't...I was good and silenced my inner Larry David who was dying to come out and address the injustice or portion inequality. Someone should have seen the ridiculousness of the portion and done something. To be clear, it was good just not very satisfying. If you come here, look at what other people are eating and then decide...don't be a hero like me and blindly order a special. read more

The best pastries and lunch spot around. I started coming here when they first opened and had the pleasure to get to know the owners, Veronica and Giancarlo. I even went to visit the original location in Sulmona, Italy! They make the pasta, the bread, and everything all fresh. It is very small inside, there's only a few tables but the wait is worth it! read more

People. Seriously. Stop wasting your time reading any other review. Get in your car and risk getting a ticket to get here as fast as possible. Like run dudes. Run!!!! read more

Woah! I found a little piece of Italy! I saw it across the street after dropping my car off to get my tires fixed at Costco and saw people going in and out. Figured I would get some breakfast while I waited and what a surprise! It is so nice on the inside with a diverse variety of breakfast sweets, coffee, and pastry. The staff are talking in Italian and so are the customers. I felt like I stepped into modern Rome or something. Such a nice alternative to Starbucks if you are in the area I would highly recommend! I may even come back if I am ever in need of pastries because everything looks delish! read more

bellissimo is the word to describe the Palazone. Everything is delicious, the French cream filled croissant were crunchy from the outsude and soft and sweet from the inside. As for the raspberry and the blueberry tart there were magnificent, we tried the hazelnut cream filled puffs, almond chocolate cake and the lemon mousse. For the coffee we tried Milano, espresso, American coffee, and roma. Everything was unbelievably delicious, the pastries melts in your mouth, rich in flavour, and takes you to a magical place. The place is beyond description, it is cozy, warm, lovely, a lot of Italian language in the restaurant, you Actually live itlay. We came all the way from Phoenix Arizona, we love it and will definitely come back read more

The best Italian bakery and cafe around. Their baked goods are always fresh and taste amazing. The chantilly cream in the pastries is outstanding. The Baba rum cakes are so delicious. I've been trying different pastries because they are so good and the pastry is so flaky. In the past I've never liked other bakery pastries, and I still don't. I especially love some of their specialty cookies. The almond paste cookies are soft and deliciously full of almond flavor. I like both the vanilla and mmmm the chocolate. The cakes have been a real hit at family gatherings. I also love the extra virgin olive oil. Lunch is always great if you can get a seat. The ingredients and attention given to the baked goods tells it all. It's a pleasure to have a real Italian cafe in the neighborhood! It's our favorite dessert place!!! read more

If you are wondering about real Italian Pastry .... This is the place. Im not a person that goes after dessert, but Palazzone really got me. The desserts have the right amount of sugar that allows you to enjoy the flavor, the texture and even the sweet amazing smell.

The pastries are to die for. But unfortunately the reason why I'm rating 3 stars is because of the service the woman who shall rename nameless is not customer friendly where she shovels to be nice but at the same time delivers in a unprofessional gesture. The coffee is overpriced for a small cup but I guess it needs to cover for the plastic cup overall I would recommend since there's not too many bakery's close by with the large selection of pastries I would say maybe mid afternoon is the best time to beat the senior citizen crowd read more

Very good desserts! Me and my family love coming here together to sit and drink some coffee and eat some desserts!
