    Zeppole

    Yes! Pizza strips, zeppole, biscotti, you name it, they make it and it is all delicious! This bakery has a wide selection of fresh pastry to choose from. Plenty of parking, friendly staff. Definitely worth the stop if you are in Riverside. They also have a Seekonk location.

    Really disappointed with the 3 pastries I bought today. Not one dessert tasted good. Nothing was rich, buttery or sweet. Their chocolate frosted donut was a decent size and only $2, but the frosting was crunchy and not smooth and the dough itself tasted old. The cinnamon roll was pretty damn big but there's a reason why it was only $2.59 when they're normally $4+. It was just dry and needed more butter. They did put enough cinnamon though throughout the roll. Their blueberry danish was also large and $2.59, but might've been the best out of the 3. The blueberry compote itself had a weird taste but the little icing on it balanced that out. The dough itself was flaky and not bad. Everything came to only $7.70, but it was really worth about $4. The only reason why I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the prices and the staff was really friendly. Overall, the pastries fell flat and tasted dull.

    Cake

    Went here to get a cake for my girlfriend's birthday. I think it's the best birthday cake I've ever had and it was very well priced. The women behind the counter were also very helpful and nice.

    Since the review, I've visited a couple of times and found this place to be average. The constancy of the products is unpredictable, and honestly had no discernible pattern to when they were fresh or old. However, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the coffee is generally good, though it's a gamble for constancy.

    An abundance of yummy goodies to try here. Everything from cookies to cinnamon rolls to danish...its pastry-galore. I've tried many items from Scialo's and I've never been disappointed. When my parents visit from out-of-state, they insist on stopping here to pick up pizza dough. They simply can't find a better dough elsewhere! When they brought it over to make pizzas, I had to admit that it was absolutely delicious. Prices are excellent for the awesome treats that you get.

    I really should give this bakery fiour stars except that this was my cheat item for a diet that I've been on for quite a while right now and I was really looking forward to a brownie. I ordered the turtle brownie and to have that caramel and crunch on top was just an incredible bonus. Unfortunately it didn't taste like a brownie but instead it had the texture of fudge. Now there's nothing wrong with fudge and it was absolutely delicious. It just wasn't the brownie that I was craving and I think they should change the name so that that is understood. Mike had the cookie sandwich which was two M&M cookies with cream frosting inside. That was something that just is a no brainer for him. He loved it and it was something that just looked homemade and delicious to me. Another reason I should not have given them five stars was because I went in to that bakery to get one item so that I could cheat on my diet and it took me forever to decide. Before we even got out of the car they had a sign on the window that said fresh peach pie. That just sounds so amazing. When we went inside everything looked delicious. Also they had such a tremendous selection including savory items There was a sign on the door that said only four people at a time which was nice they also require masks which made me feel more comfortable, the people working there were all wearing masks and wearing them appropriately. And the woman who waited on us was just charming and delightful. A great bakery.

    Fresh best pizza around! Soft fluffy dough excellent sauce! Try it now :)

It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

I found the shop tucked away in my old stomping grounds, and when my GPS announced I had arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see it now occupies what used to be a beloved old Italian bakery. There's a small parking lot right next to the well-marked entrance, and their adorable bespectacled cupcake logo makes for a charming first impression. Inside, the space is a nostalgic dream for fans of all things pop culture. The décor spans across countless beloved universes--Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, Pokémon, Mario, and more. Familiar faces like Batman, Spiderman, Thor, and the Hulk line the walls and shelves, giving the whole place a fun and immersive vibe. But let's talk about the real stars: the baked goods. The display at the entrance is packed with eye-catching treats--cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and beyond. Everything looked just as mouthwatering in person as it did in the photos that initially drew me in. In addition to desserts, they also offer cannoli, cinnamon rolls, brownies, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, bagels, toasts, bowls, and a variety of drinks including coffee, smoothies, and iced options. Since I was there for cupcakes, I picked out three flavors: Mocha Cappuccino, Banana Pudding, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana. I only got to try the two banana ones, but both were delicious. The Mocha one smelled heavenly though! A surprise bonus--the cupcakes had fillings, which I wasn't expecting. The frosting-to-cake ratio was perfect, and the cake itself was light and fluffy, yet sturdy enough to hold up the frosting. The owner was super helpful in guiding my selections and genuinely lit up when I asked about the bakery's background and theme. They host themed events too--like an upcoming Star Wars Day breakfast with a buffet, character meet-and-greets, goodie bags, and more. I don't live in the area anymore, so coming back would be a special treat--but I definitely plan to. Getting out of the parking lot was a bit tricky due to the busy nearby intersection, but it wasn't too hard to navigate. A small inconvenience considering everything this place has to offer. Bottom line: this bakery is a delightful, nerdy, sugar-filled gem. A perfect place to treat yourself!

    It's telling that the drive to this diner was an experience in and of itself. Soaring through the…read morestreets of Warren and Swansea, flanked by woods and water, were just the beginning of a magical experience. Then came the destination: at first, I doubted myself because I thought I was just looking at a bakery. When I pulled into the parking lot and opened the front door, I finally began to understand what "hole-in-the-wall" truly meant. Not only was the family ownership and honest-to-goodness service in place the minute I entered, but the sampling of lightly-seasoned bread with olive oil was the definitive way to begin dinner. When I came here last weekend with my stepbrother and his gf, I had finished a workout earlier that day, so the idea of a chicken parm dished mixed with bolognese sauce sounded killer; all of us had ordered that exact dish! Boy, was my hunch trustworthy. A comforting mix of seasonings, a breading with a well-done crispness around the edges, and a quality of meat that felt wholesome without being overbearing were the elements that comprised a hearty serving of cheese-stuffed ravioli. The following Saturday, my mother and stepfather were more than happy to reserve seating (when you're a small restaurant with a penchant for legendary cooking, even the weekdays are bound to be packed). While my mother gorged on a plain chicken parm and my old man was enthused with his seafood platter, I dove into creamy pink vodka sauce and smoky sweet Italian sausage. The bacon-y flavor of the sausage complemented the sharp cheesiness of the broth, culminating in a spectacle of flavors that never stopped short of excellence. While the Nutella-filled egg dessert I had on the first day was nice, I was told that most of the offerings provided in the bakery were crafted by a Boston-based confectioner. What was homemade, however, was a fruity pie carefully designed and baked by the proprietor's wife. The crostata, as it was called, tasted just as scrumptious as the description of apples and raspberries and gooey gelato that I had been provided. One of the reasons I support small is because there's no conglomerate overreach to corrupt the flavors a competitive small-town scene can offer, which Spaghetti Lane perfectly embodied. When Mike the founder had been so uplifted by vocal enthusiasm for his business, he was generous to provide me with a Spaghetti Lane-branded shirt. I told him he truly did not have to offer such a generous gift, but I thanked him nonetheless afterward. I must also point out the ambience of the restaurant. The place was comprised of two dining rooms: one of which leaned into the elegance of Italian spirits stacked neatly on shelves and the hypersonic drift of Italo Disco filling the air, the other was a contemporary-style cafe setting with a dessert cashier and a giant cabinet lined with cannoli, cheesecake, and whoopie pies. For some reason, my soul lit up when I heard the Umberto Tozzi version of "Gloria" as I was chomping on my penne. Now that's a vibe. That's my TED Talk. Thank you, everyone!
