Huge selection of bakery items. I've been going to this bakery for many years .I booked a reception at their location and those who attended we're raving about the service and the quality of all our food choices. I have never been disappointed. Definitely give them a try. read more

Second try, very tasty sweets and pizza Was in the area, so wanted to give this place another try. Came in right before lunch, and pizzas were just starting to come out. The cases were filled to the brim with tons of sweet treats, and I over ordered a little bit. The cheesecakes were giant and candy and chocolate laden. The original cannoli was piped fresh and pretty tasty without being overly sweet. The pickle pizza was greasy and foldable ny style slice. Pretty good overall The place is a nice little sweets and pizza place. Worth a try, but not exactly trek worthy. You'd be hard pressed to find better in the area though read more

Excellent cannolis. I bought three - tiramisu, ricotta w pistachios in a chocolate shell, and almond. All were fresh and delicious, and 5-star worthy. I all bought two slices of pizza - one was spinach ricotta, and other meatball parm. Both were very generously loaded w toppings. Both were very good, but definitely below New Haven-style. I guess I'm a pizza snob. They were just a bit doughy for my taste. So, 5 stars for the pastry, 3.5 for the slices, overall rounded to 4.25. 4 Yelp stars read more

"Top of the list King of the hill A number one" (Frank Sinatra) We've been to a ton of Italian bakeries over the years. But I don't think we've ever fallen as head-over-heels in love with one as we did when we set foot into the Russo Pastry Shop. It's one of the most visually stunning bakeries I've ever seen! Walking into the store reminded me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz movie when the images transform from black and white into color. That's because vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors are everywhere inside Russo's. An embarrassment of riches are everywhere in the form of cannolis, cookies, pastries, and cake slices, And if you want some savory treats to accompany your sweet treats, well... no worries because Russo has pizzas, calzones, grinders, frozen pastas, parmigianas, and soups. We picked up a gorgeous slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was so fantastic it's hard to put into words. We went into their freezer case and picked up two entrees -eggplant parmigiana and chicken parmigiana. They were priced as a $16.99 BOGO deal. We had both last week, and the portions in the containers were easily splitable for the two of us. The chicken parm seemed to have more inside the container than the eggplant did, and we both thought it was better than the eggplant. In essence we ended up with four dinner portions for just $16.99. Do the math-that's a tremendous value. After you do the math, do yourself a favor and take a ride over to Russo's for a fantastic experience. read more

Ordered a cake for my mother in law's birthday and wanted pink and purple flowers. Flowers being the key word here. What I got was several piles of piped frosting that did not even remotely resemble flowers. I was extremely disappointed since it was her 80th and really wanted a beautiful cake. I took all the "flowers" off and redid it with real flowers. The cake itself was very good however. Fast forward to my birthday. My partner ordered a cake for my birthday. Once again, got those same ridiculous flowers (not a big deal) but the filling inside was frozen. We ordered a chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling. This was the final straw. Won't be going back there. I've had better cakes from grocery stores and for the price, better quality. read more

I can't say enough good things about Russo's we religiously always have to visit Russo when we're in town it's a sin not too. As part of a proud Italian family, cannolis and ricotta pies are just apart of our staple diet. If your Italian you'll know a good cannoli by the shell and the quality of the filling which Russo has perfected. Definitely a gem in the area! read more

Came here late last night and stopped back in (shortly) after for another pasty. I loved that this was family owned and operated and the lady who rung my transaction up reminded me of my Sicilian grandmother. Sfogliatella are made fresh and kept right behind the counter! I was impressed by how crispy the cannolis were.. especially considering they were already filled with ricotta in the case! Usually as soon as cannolis are filled, they start to wilt! I have no idea what this place does differently but my dad could not believe it! Even Mike's pastry in Boston has to fill them right on the spot... and then the cannolis are best eaten in about an hour! read more

I am OBSESSED with their in house pastries. If it's not a cannoli or a cheesecake it's a coffee cake. NEVER disappoints. Definitely a local hidden pastry/ bakery gem. Today I got the blueberry cobbler cheesecake and it is heavenly. The staff are always so friendly and patient especially when I don't know what I want. Go check them out. They also have pizza too! read more

Great Pizza and frozen take-home dinners, 2-fer specials, cannoli's of many varieties/ flavors

I didn't give it one star because the people who work here are very pleasant. BUT...the quality of the pastries has been on a steady decline for many years. Yesterday we picked up some cannoli for a dinner party, and they were just awful. The shells were soggy and the filling had little flavor and a nasty, chalky consistency. Yesterday's purchase will be our last. So sad. read more

Everyone needs a go to Italian bakery close by and Russo's is ours. The cannoli are great and Italian cookies are always a nice gift. The surprise is their pizza. I love their margarita and the bbq chicken ones. It's not a pizza delivery place but worth the short pick up trip. read more

I don't remember how many times I have been here but all taste so good either for to go or dine in all the cakes and cannolis from all the flavors you can think they have it and even the frozen food it is really when you want something for emergencies. The lemon cake it is awesome read more

My FAVORITE place in Enfield. The best pizza around and inexpensive. The cannolis are AMAZING, I can't go without getting one.

Russo's is a staple for any local in Enfield. Been coming here for years and it's great every time! My favorite is the pizza by the slice. It's honestly the best pizza I've had in CT and that includes frank pepes (also fantastic). Give this spot a shot, you won't regret it! read more

Russo Pastry Shop - NY style slices - Bakeries Near Me - Enfield, Connecticut

Adorable traditional Italian bakery. Stopped in for a snack. Grabbed a slice of spinach ricotta pizza which was absolutely delicious! The crust was crispy, chewy and fluffy. Really great crust! We tried the tiramisu cannoli and a custard zeppole. The cannoli was unique and delicious and the Zeppole was not overly sweet with cherries. Super friendly staff. It took me a good 5 minutes to decide what to order. read more

We were talking about pastry from my birth place (India), which I dearly miss. In the same conversation I was recommended to give Russo's a try. I'll have to say they were right. Though they are not similar the consistency of the cake, taste and the moisture ratio were damn close. I went with Pistachio,and German chocolate and I have to say I had to go back there to order my pistachio wedding cake. The chef at my wedding tasted and was impressed by the cake. The cake has the right amount of moisture, fluff, cream and the crunchy nuts. It's not that far from home, so I'll be making frequent visits to try different flavors overtime. Stay tuned for updates. The cakes are priced reasonable and will be one of the best value dessert you will enjoy. They also carry pizza, coffee, Italian ice, other Italian snacks and packed meals. read more

I placed a special order ricotta cake and they couldn't have been more accommodating. it was by far the best ricotta cake I've ever had! So fresh and delicious , my guests couldn't stop rav about it! Russo's is a little farther away from me, but I'll never shop at any other bakery!!! read more

Great pizza, great sandwiches, and some of the best cannolis ever. Cheesecake cannolis, snickers cannolis, strawberry cannolis! Too many varieties to list read more

On my search for cannolis, we found this place that's conveniently located near the Enfield mall strip that we frequently visit. They have so many different flavors of cannolis that it was hard to decide. We ended up trying the classic cannoli, mint chocolate, tiramisu, snickers. and oreo. I was not impressed with the flavored cannolis as the filling tasted more like flavored whipped cream. The classic ones were delicious! Although not the most impressive compared to what I've had before, I'll definitely be back as they were still delicious and it's the most convenient for us. Maybe next time we'll try their pizza too! read more

Really excellent place for pastries! Very large selection, haven't found anything I didn't like. Tried the pizza for the first time (Hawaiian) and loved it, not greasy! Def worth the visit, especially for all the different flavors of cannolis! And if someone wants to buy me a cookie tray, I won't object! read more

I've been there twice, and I love some of their cannolis. I like the ones that actually have ricotta cheese in it. I'm not a fan of the frosting filled ones which targets the younger kiddos. The "rainbow" Italian cake (me and the kiddos call it) is really good too. I recently went there two times to try and get a cake, but both times they were closed. The first time was understandable because they are closed on Mondays and I didn't know that so I checked their hours. I made a trip out there again the next day which said they were open till 8 PM. When I drove into the parking lot, they were closed. I'm not sure if they closed because it was slow or if they decided to change over to winter hours... But they should post that on their website so that way people who make a trip out there isn't wasting their time if they are closed. Not sure if I will be returning anytime soon as I'm at the point where I'll be going to Costco or bj's as they have a more reliable hours of operation. read more

I've been here a few times with my parents and relatives, who used to order cannolis from there. including the Oreo/cookies n cream one which I loved. The first time I went inside I had a piece of chocolate fudge cake with a slice of pepperoni pizza. The cake was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved how it had a nice, rich and thick layer of fudge within the cake layers. The staff running the counter are always very nice and sweet. The pizza, on the other hand, has always been a disappointment to me. I don't get how my parents somehow think this is one of the best pizzas they've had. The texture of the dough with the cheese doesn't feel right, there is so little sauce that I can't even taste it, and it, combined with the pepperoni grease gives the pizza a slimy feel when eating it, and always gives me a nauseous feeling in my stomach afterwards, it's hardly edible. I tried a takeout of it once, and it wasn't any better. The sauce was way too sweet, and it literally brought back bad memories of the pizza served for "Pizza Day" at my school. In spite of this though, I'll still return solely to try out whatever other cakes they have (I think the German chocolate one looks good). If you must go here, go for the cakes, cannolis and pastries. If you're looking for a pizza in Enfield though, skip it. read more

This place has the best selection of cannolis and desserts in the area! Take a break from your diet and bring your appetite and try this place out. Lol. I imagine the owners are the ones that generally work there, I'm not exactly certain but they are kind and friendly. When I've been there for lunch, there seems to be a lot of people who go for slices of pizza. There's a really wide selection of slices and options to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. I encourage anyone to stop by this place and see it for yourself. read more

I. Love. This. Place. My favorite place to get pastries from and I LOVE their pizza. They sell by the slice which is AWESOME for a quick meal. They'll heat it up in the oven so it's nice and toasty. They sell Italian cookies by the plate for events too! Seriously love this place. read more

I was in the area for work and saw the reviews of this place and wanted to come. I got a New York style cannoli, a lime cheesecake, and a chocolate fudge cake slice. It looked pretty good and wasn't too expensive. When I came home and was able to have it for dessert, the whole entire cannoli was soaked, the reason why was that they had a cherry on the cannoli. It ruined the texture of the cannoli, especially the chip. I tried it anyways to see if it tasted good, and wow. All I could taste was sugar, the cherry made it overly sweet. The filling wasn't ricotta, it was almost like whipped cream. It was a letdown, but I wanted to see if the cake was any better. Short answer was no, the cake was super sweet and all I could taste was the very rich and thick frosting. So going to the cheesecake was pretty worrying, since the last two things were very sweet. When I looked at the cheesecake, the lime on top was candy. Not even a real lime, just a candy lime with sugar coated on it. The cheesecake it self was actually pretty decent, but the sugar from the frosting and the "lime" kind of ruined it. Even though it was super sweet, it wasn't that bad, which is why I am leaving three stars. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I think I needed to say something about sweetness in all of the pastries. read more

I'm shocked that Russo's doesn't have a line out the door every single day. "I have to say this bakery is better than Mozzicatos." -My Italian boyfriend. The desserts are divine. Endless choices of cannolis, cakes, pies, brownies, cookies, fritters, Italian ice and more. They have a huge variety of homemade frozen dinners. What drives me there often is the pizza. It's by far the best pizza in town. Huge thin slices and always a large selection of different kinds. I'm not sure what the owners name is but in my head I call her Mama Russo. I have so much respect for her as she's always there and hustling. As a matter of fact I had called to order pizzas and she must have been busy as the phone was never picked up. 5 minutes later I got a call and she apologized for being busy and she took my order. I'm a big believer of supporting small business. And this is one in Enfield that will always have my business. read more

Best sweets in town! And the owner is a doll! Have a hard time driving past without stopping for a slice of pizza or a sweet treat!

I tend to favor another local Italian bakery but Russo's is closer to home and a great option. There are an array of Italian goodies on display. Some premade frozen meals are available, though I've never tried them. Pizza is available by the slice in a variety of flavors, if you are a fan of a pre-made reheated slice. Their cannoli, sfogiatelle, tiramisu, etc are all very good. read more

I swear, if I could move into this place I would! Everything on the menu is delicious and the shear options of cannolis is incredible! It's so quaint. Definitely not a lot of dining space, but they have a few tables if you'd like to eat there. More of a to go option. I love that you get to see the whole family when you're there and mama always takes the orders. :) Can't go wrong coming here! read more

The pizza slices are good.the service is quick and easy. The atmosphere.is nice insiders. My grandkids love the pizza.

Dang, what can I say? This unassuming bakery off one of the main drags in Enfield has some of the prettiest, tastiest pastries around! I have truly never seen a cannoli counter like this one. While most options are not "traditional," you'll certainly find something you like with options like Twix, cookie dough, red velvet, and mint chocolate. (See my pics!) Of the ones I tried, they were distinctive and scrumptious. (Each cannoli is $2.50.) They also make a great iced latte. The woman working behind the counter was super sweet. Definitely stop in if you're in the area! read more
