From Italy and looking for authentic desserts, lunch, and coffee? This place is for you. This is about as authentic as it gets in the states- everyone behind the counter speaks Italian and it reminds me of my days in Italy. They also have a large variety of Italian specialties (olive oil, balsamic, chocolate Easter eggs, etc) that they sell as well. Why only 3 stars? Be it shipping costs, or the fact that they know people are willing to pay for the authenticity, the place can get pricey. $40-$50 for a chocolate Easter egg? I'll pass. There have also been times where I've gotten pastries only to take them to someone's house and discover that the insides were frozen. Also, I know this isn't their fault, but the place is extremely annoying to get to. All in all, if I'm passing it and need something, I'll stop, but I don't think it's worth seeking it out and making all of the u-turns. read more

Very impressed by this place. Friendly staff. I had the one most delicious pastries ever. Their cafe selection is to die for. read more

This is by far the best Italian shop in north jersey. You walk in to a clean, all white shop with various types of Italian pastries. They have fresh authentic mozzarella, olive oil, pastas etc. the authenticity of the food and ambiance of the shop is something of a lost art. I had a cappuccino, and a lobster tail. May I just say, that the lobster tail was absolutely delightful. It wasn't too sweet, flaky, and the crust was so crispy that the first bite can be heard anywhere. Another pastry I had was a lemon caprese. Again, another light flakey cake with a light hint of lemon that will taste great with coffee. All I can say is that the staff are very friendly, real authentic Italians and will definitely be coming back soon. read more

First time here for a quick bite with Mommy. We both ordered cappuccino & panini, delicious! Amazing assortment of pastries too. Give them a try next time you find yourself at the crossroads of rte23 & 46- it's worth it! read more

I heard a lot of great things about this place, but I needed to see for myself. I wanted some coffee and dessert and my sister suggested we should come here. Palazzone 1960 has by far the best coffee that I've had. It is so strong and delicious and there isn't really a crash. I ordered the Roma and it was delicious. For dessert, I ordered 2 lobster tails, 2 tiramisu pastries, canolies, and a doughnut. The lobster tails were very good, but not my favorite. My sister loved it so much that she basically ate both! Now, I'm a huge tiramisu fan and this was definitely some of the best tiramisu that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. It had the right amount of sweetness mixed with that delcious coffee flavor. And the texture was how it should be. I definitely recommend the tiramisu. And the canolies were just perfect. I wish I had bought more. The doughnut was very soft and had just the right amount of sugar. My brother-in-law really enjoyed it with his coffee. The price is a little on the higher end, but it's definitely worth it. Not going to come here often due to the prices but will be back to try more desserts and maybe have some lunch! read more

Nice array of Italian pastries that are great quality. The cannoli and lobster tail are my favorite. Overall, delicious! I would like to come back to try the food! So far, I've only had pastries. You have to eat them fresh though, because it's not as great later in the day. read more

Excellent bakery with great prices. If I ever have to bring desserts to any party, I bring them from here. My go to bakery!

I have seen palazzone from the high way so many times but have never actually gone in. I was surprised to see so many great reviews on yelp, so I knew I had to stop by. I went on a Tuesday afternoon, lunch time, there was a good amount of people there. Once you walk in you are greeted with so many treats, no complaining here. We were seated right away. The waitress was super nice. I got the soup of the day ($7.90) It came out very fast. It was vegetarian which was great. It tasted very fresh and flavorful. I got the Spaghetti Al pomodoro ($9.90) Wow. Let me start by saying I love pasta and this did not disappoint. They tell you it takes a little while for the pasta to be ready but it is worth the wait. The sauce was amazing so much flavor and rich. I would want to have it again. We also got the gnocchi ($11) Also very good. Also would want to eat it again. You can tell everything they make there is fresh and it really helps with the flavor. I got the tiramisu on my way out. So cute and small I ate it super fast. Would return again no question. read more

The best Italian pastries!! I live in an area with a lot of "Italian" bakeries but Palazzone 1960 is by far the best of the best!! The lobster tails are fabulous. Also great for lunch and don't skip the gelato read more

So I now live 5 minutes away from the Palazzone Aka Italian pastry heaven! I'm not sure yet if this so good because I'll probably be here every weekend. I recently had the almond and shortbread cookies and they are delicious. The almond flour chocolate cake is so good and moist. read more

Anniversary lunch was great. I bought pecan & Apple pies here in November for hubby's birthday and they were a hit. Then I ordered mini pastries & cookies for Christmas and again...BIG HIT. So we were going to have dessert & coffee for our anniversary lunch but when we sat & saw the food we decided to splurge on our special day...oh so good. Hubby had a panini with prosciutto, Brie & tomato which was delish & so fresh. I had the lentil soup that was delightful & tasty. For dessert hubby had a cannoli with a double espresso...the cannoli would have been perfect if the shell was crispy but it was good. I had the lobster-tail with a cortado (espresso with a bit of cream) OMG the lobster-tail was PERFECT...crispy on the outside and the cream on the inside was fluffy and smooth...melted in my mouth good. Their coffee is legit...I'm a coffee snub . The staff and service were super nice & attentive. Perfect place for our special lunch. read more

Very nice and cozy place where you can either stop in, have some coffee and a pastry/gelato or take some to go for a function. Their pastries/cookies, although they have a large selection of options, are average. I am used to ultra fresh and not too sweet variety. To their defense we did come later on a weekday but regardless they should be fresh. I did try their coconut gelato which was very good. Shreds of coconut and creamy. I prefer other bakeries in the area. The location and parking is odd so if you miss the entrance you have to be rerouted for a few minutes before trying again. Parking lot has a few spots but they do fill up fast. read more

Love, love, love this place. Pastry and cakes are all freshly made and delicious. I have not had any of their sandwiches or other meals, but I would definitely try them. The lobster claws are amazing. Oh and if you can't get there, you can get delivery! read more

This place makes my heart warm and fuzzy. I've tried their lobster tails and their Nutella stuffed donut. The best I've ever tasted. The lobster tails are so freshly made you sink in your chair getting lost in the fluffy flaky goodness. The inside is not overly sweet and is so creamy. The Nutella donut is delicious. Warm it up a bit in the microwave then take a huge bite and prepare for the Nutella to ooze all over. Staff is always so friendly and prices are very reasonable. I need to try their food and specialty coffee drinks. Love this place ! read more

Pastries, cakes, cookies are amazing. Everything is delicious and fresh. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Promising a cheesecake to someone, I called there to reserve one. It was phenomenal. Their products are so good that I would take any less than four star ratings with a grain of salt. If you check prior reviews for most of these people, they review places country-wide. What are the chances they are legit? I think that is a real problem for Yelp. read more

First off, let me just say that the lobster tail pastries here are incredible and deserve 5 stars alone. I came here around 9pm, just as the store was closing, and the lobster tail pastries were still crisp, flaky and delicious. The filling on the inside was smooth and the perfect amount of sweetness-- like a mix between pastry cream and whipped cream. I also got a sabayon cake, which was also good but nothing special. I haven't tried the rest of their options so I'll definitely be back to give them a taste, but if you're just stopping by for a quick treat make sure you get the lobster tail pastries-- you can thank me later! read more

Hands down one of the best Italian bakery in the area. Their bread and pastries and fresh and delicious. The coffee, oh my!! My fav is their lobster tail and cream puffs yum read more

I ate in the cafe next to the counter. Espresso was average. Panini was average. I also had drip coffee which was awful, cold and watery. Not what you'd expect for an Italian pastry shop. Worst of all was the service was indifferent even though the place was mostly empty. Food and coffee is 3 stars, service is 1 star. read more

If you want authentic Italian pastries like sfogliatelle, lobster tails, Canolli and ricotta cheese cake, this is the best in Norther New Jersey. I highly recommend their lobster tails with a crispy layered pastry filled with a sweet smooth French Vanilla cream, with the end dipped in chocolate. Their ricotta cheese cakes come in several sizes and can have chocolate chips, Nutella or at Easter try their "wheat pie" which contains wheat berries. They also have a small lunch menu with sandwiches, pastas and soups. They also have a commercial espresso machine for lattes, cappuccinos and straight shots. They are the real deal! read more

Let me start off by saying that if you have ver been to Italy and have had pasties there you will truly appreciate Palazzone. Everything is always fresh. Their croissant are crunchy buttery and soft on the inside with just the right amount of filling. If you want a good authentic cappuccino you need to stop here. They also serve food and Biscotti which are always fresh and prefect. Their gelato is also super good. Palazzone reminds me of growing up in Italy. read more

After experiencing an intense craving for italian pastries, I came across the highly rated Palazzone 1960. This store is located right off of the highway, so keep an eye out for the turn, unless you want to take an unexpected road trip. It's also next to a fitness gym so...make of that what you will. I chose to get the lobster tail and cannoli, but when I asked the employees for recommendations, they just put random things in a box without telling me what they were and only reassuring that they were good. While they were all delicious, I would've appreciated knowing the names and descriptions of these pastries. The cannoli was very good, with fresh and creamy filling that was not too sweet, and a crunchy outer shell. The lobster tail was also crispy and fresh, with a light and creamy filling. As for the additional two items, neither of them were amazing, but they were pretty decent. All four of these pastries came out to a little over $7, which I would say is a pretty decent price. Next time, I would try to come earlier in the day to get more freshly baked goods, and to try the various pasta dishes, cakes, and coffee that they offer. read more

Avoid the main street in little falls location. Rude employees. Took my kids there. Literally 7 desserts to choose from and old cookies. Small table to the side had 2 guys and a woman yelling back and forth couldn't understand what the lady behind the counter was saying. Besides the non understandably strong accents read more

The lunches are worth traveling for. I had this special on Thursday. Probably the best pasta I have ever had. Hand prepared, unctuous, rich, and just plain delicious. I've eaten all over this world, and this is clearly one of the best and most consistent eateries I have found. Yelp and Michelin need to add more stars to adequately rank this place. read more

Pastries galore! Went on the advice of a friend who knows his food. I ordered a medium size box and stuffed it with: lobster claw, St. Joseph pastry, babas, cannoli, and sfogliatelle. It's a 5 because my grandmother from Naples, Italy approved. Clean, with clear and white tables, it reminded me of a cafe in Milan. Very European. The staff was friendly and helpful and I overheard them speaking Italian to some customers. I can't wait to go back to try their lunch menu from 11am-4pm. read more

Delicious and authentic pastries! I don't usually like lobster tail cream, but I can't get enough of the mini lobster tails here. I stop in once in a while to buy a box of pastries for my family but end up eating half of it before I get home. read more

what??????? When I went to Italy I was so upset on the first day that they didn't have like scrambled eggs and bacon and hashbrowns for breakfast because that's kind of what I eat and then on day two I succumbed to the fact that pastry is breakfast in Italy and I ate 2 to 3 pastries a day and came home 10 pounds heavier. I was glad to leave Italy because I needed to stop eating those pastries, just kidding I was mortified to leave Italy and it was the saddest day of my life. You can't get real Italian pastry anywhere in New Jersey except for two places, I won't name the other place because I'm not reviewing them, but you can definitely get them at this place. And should get them at this place. Because they are absolutely fucking incredible. I woke up and is still feeling kind of ugly for some reason and when I came here to get pastries for my boyfriend's family one of the guys behind the counter tried to give me a free cannoli and even though I didn't except it because I don't eat cannoli bumped up my self-esteem. I'll be back! :D read more

Service and baked goods are amazing. I got the lobster tail and it was terrific. Filling was not too sweet. I've tried many of their pastries and have not been disappointed once. The only negative is pulling into the parking lot (especially at night/low visibility) is a little confusing since it's hard to see where their entrance is. It's right before an on ramp so drive carefully so you don't miss it. But there is always parking and I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to be served. read more

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

The quality is worth every penny. Enjoy. read more
