What People Are Saying
from Google"Lovely patio to enjoy delicious spumoni and if you can decide, a few cookies, too. The tomato pie had a crisp flaky crust that I liked with a touch of fresh garlic in the sauce. Incredible pastry."
"The desserts are always fantastic. Today I ordered a sandwich for the first time, the grilled pastrami. It was amazing, huge portions, I could have shared it. The whole experience was wonderful. The staff is so pleasant and helpful, the sandwich maker even came out of the kitchen to make sure I was getting what I wanted. If I could give six stars I would."
"Lemon ice unlike any other. Not too sweet, with bursts of lemon zest and such a perfect soft texture. Summertime staple. The tomato pie at lunch time is my favorite with big chunks of roasted garlic and a crisp crust. Classic Schenectady. Update! Same delicious favorites, with an awesome new patio. Can't wait to go back."
"What a fabulous experience! The éclairs! The cupcakes! The Bocci court! All of it utterly fab."
"Terrific customer service and sometimes the cookies and pastry are great and sometimes they're a little day old but more consistent than Villa Italia who charges three times as much and you never know if you're going to get fresh or 3 days old."
