Oscar's is a small, family-run pasticceria, complete with Mama and children in tow. We were handed a cannoli, made at that moment for us, and the love affair with this bakery started. They have a whole array of marzipan treats, many shaped into other food. We had a good laugh examining what appeared to be a ham and cheese sandwich, but which was actually made entirely of marzipan. This bakery is THE place to try. Small. Cute. And, extremely delicious. The cookies are to die for, and to be washed down with a freshly-pressed Italian espresso.

We first came in looking for a panini and the woman who owns Oscar asked her friend to walk us down the street to her favorite sandwich shop which was also fantastic. We then returned to Oscar for dessert and were amazed by how delicious everything was. Do not miss this wonderful place and definitely get the freshly made pistachio cannoli!

They have a large outdoor patio in the back, and they have table service, so you can have a look first at what flavors they have for the day, find a table in the patio and order from the server, then enjoy the ambience outside. There are remnants of the "old town", as they call it, part of which you can see from the patio area. And if gelato isn't your thing, they have many flavors of granita as well. This is my go-to gelato place whenever I'm here on my summer vacation.

They open early in the morning for the before work crowd and stay open late at night until they see the crowds dissipate from the streets. The gelato here is artisanal and quite frankly the best Italian gelato I've ever eaten (and trust me, I've eaten gelato all over Italy) they don't have a huge selection- maybe 8-10 flavors, but each flavor is made with fresh ingredients and natural- no powders and fake flavors here. The prices are reasonable- good value.
