You know how they line up at the Soup Nazi's on Seinfeld? You can expect the same thing here. My sister and I discovered this totally by accident during a trip to visit her daughter in Brooklyn. Best damn cookies and pastries I've tasted in a long long time. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Italian Pastry Shop. It is the best! Their cannoli's, other pastries and cookies are delicious. I stop at Villabate every time I travel to Brooklyn, NY. I always buy cannoli's. I also have bought their other pastries and cookies. The marzipan is great too.I travel from Hershey, PA to this excellent A+ pastry shop every year. I just wish I lived three hours closer to Villabate.I recommend this pastry shop to everyone.

This bakery is unusually good. They truly take pride in what they do. The service is excellent as well since it is always very crowded and patience would run out if they weren't so good.

When i lived on 18th ave.it was like heaven!! The d`amelio family & co have a great product and good service,and as time goes by it has become one of only a few stops on that avenue. From semola bread,neapolitan ,to cookies,biscotti,cakes,cannoli, sfincie,ecctcc it worth the trip,,,,, even from florida if you are visiting new york;No pastry-pasticceria like it; forget about ferrara in little italy; it does not compare to it!! The closest store to the fabulous shops in naples,or palermo[italy].L`acqualina in bocca[ my mouth is watering!} I miss their bread; great aroma & taste! You`l l thank yourself for having read this from a fussy italian guy in the restaurant business who used to buy special occasion cakes & pastry from them. hurry!! presto!! ciao,folks!.
