Absolutely so delicious. The lobster tail was perfect. And the Pignole were amazing. The cappuccino had the best whipped cream I have ever seen.
I have been coming since I was a kid. The Italian rum cake is the best.
Born and raised in Brooklyn this is the only go to place! Best old school family-like cafe you wanna go into! Quick and friendly counter service too ��
The best Italian Bakery in Williamsburg for pastries, cakes, holiday specialties! � � � �

The best cannoli's ever and so are the other pastries. Nice place to sit and enjoy your pastries and coffee!
Caffè espresso top (molto meglio di alcuni bar italiani ) cannolo siciliano e cheesecake ottimi! Sembra di essere in un bar di paese e invece sei a Brooklin New York...consigliatissimo!!!

Googled searching for Cannolis in my area. This place was 1 of the first to pop up. Great reviews, 15/20 mins drive,cool. Stopped in last week and when i tell you so glad i did. AMAZING Cannolis. Omg im in luv. Told my husband to make sure i have 2 Cannolis from this place every 2weeks.
The best Italian gelato and parties around!!! Always been my favorite!
The best gelato EVER! Been coming here for over 30 years since I'm a little girl. Feast first, Fortunato's after!
Amazing. The owner was there he came over .grabbed my daughters cheeks.and kissed her her like she was family! Reminded me.of the good ole.days....
We visited Fortunato’s during our visit to Brooklyn, and to say the least, it was amazing. I had to talk my self out of buying 1 of everything (at least 1). The gelato, the pastries, cookies, cakes, cheesecakes. The list goes on. This place is a must when visiting Brooklyn.
My buddy took me here for my birthday dessert and I was not disappointed I wanted everything in the store but with what I got the pistachio lobster tail and the Nutella cannoli definitely amazing can’t wait to try the gelato and other pastries it’s a must try in Brooklyn!
Very clean
Very warm family welcoming
Best cannolis one must try
and cakes
My favorite cheese cakes and tarts
I'm going to be honest here with this review. I have heard through different people that the rainbow cookie here is the best you're gonna get in NYC. They certainly did not disappoint at all. I got the rainbow cookie cake slice with the cannoli cream and it was just simply pure heaven. Delicious and delicate cake layers with light sweet cannoli cream and a perfect chocolate hard top, which of course was topped off with a small piece of rainbow cookie. I can't wait to come back and try what looked like a rainbow cookie cheesecake and a giant rainbow cookie cake. This is truly an amazing find. If you love rainbow cookies this is the holy grail right here.
Came for the famous rainbow cookies and they did not disappoint! Classic rainbow cookies had an excellent chocolate shell and light jammy filling with the lovely almond aroma after taste. Also tried their rainbow slice that uses cannoli filling instead of the fruit jam and it was a lovely variation with a hardened chocolate shell which was fresh moist and fresh and simply delightful. Pair with your coffee of choice and you have yourself a dessert to remember.
the pastries here were absolutely delicious! i feel like i haven’t had a good tiramisu in a while, and i had a great one here. there are so few places now that i feel you can sit and truly enjoy time chatting with friends and this is one of the places i feel very comfortable doing so. the staff was very helpful & kind, can’t wait to go back!
Beyond delicious desserts and coffee. Authentic, tasty and worth going to. Definitely try their cannolis and rainbow cookies.
I bought a small strawberry shortcake that feeds about 8-10 people on 2 occasions and they were delicious. They have a chocolate and vanilla sponge version of it..Both were great. They don't disappoint. I recommend you give their bakery a try. Located near Greenpoint Brooklyn directly on Manhattan Avenue. 🙂👍
After dinner and this is about 5 blocks away, I said this is worth the walk in the cold and wind to get to. This place feels like a old tradition and famous place in Brooklyn or a little known hidden gem.
Coming in around 9 pm, the place is still lively with dates, friends and local. The counter is packed with amazing looking desert and cake. Not a fan of sweet at night, I went for a tea. My friends went all out for their ice cream and a too pretty to eat cake and cookie.
Service is very fast. We order at the counter not knowing they do table service. Picking to sit by the window feels very nice and I hope to come on a snow day and during day time will set the perfect mood.
It looks like they offer cake for all occasion. I see a few parent bring their kids to get a night cap here. It's Friday and definitely a better place to be than a bar. I would advice you bring a date here.

Guys as the holiday season are upon us, with the Hustle and the bustle of commuting and trying to get everything done before friends and family arrives, one less thing to worry about!!…. GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY for your treats and cakes 🎂 🍰 🧁 and so much more. I walked in looking for something specific but was greeted with a warm hello. OMG 😱 it’s so beautiful I could hardly contain my smiles. I will be back Fortunato!!!!!
I tried the pistachio and chocolate hazelnut Cannolis and they were good. Definitely not the best in New York. The espresso was very good.
One of my favourite local spots for dessert!
A must stop, especially if in the area for the Giglio Festival. High quality gelato too!
My first time at Fortunato Brother’s was pretty good. Beautiful exterior and well taken care of bakery. Also very nice and accommodating staff. By far the best rainbow cookies I’ve ever had in Brooklyn. However, I was disappointed that when I walked in that there was no tiramisu available. An iconic Italian bakery not having Tiramisu is a bit of a shock and a bummer. However, I got the specialty cannoli and they were okay. I feel they were a little too hard and I only truly enjoyed them when I was starving around midnight. I would definitely go back for the rainbow cookies but I feel that’s the only thing I’d get next time. Also, they had no plastic bags so I had to buy a tote for $3.
This place is a gem. Low prices, incredibly friendly staff, and really quick wait times. They're also open pretty late on weekends!
The food is also, of course, fantastic.
Bonus: they're completely peanut free, so if you have a peanut allergy it's a great option for you!
Such a great place for italian cookies and desserts. Reminds me of my Italian family. The desserts were great and the coffee was a nice addition too. What made it better was the outside dinning which was safe and felt private. A great place for a morning coffee with a friend ☺️
Hands down a uniquely authentic Italian pastry shop and cafe, the way they exist in Italy! Run by a multi generation family that holds true to recipes and quality, Fortunato Brothers is 1000% worth the trip into Williamsburg for anyone looking for excellent Italian pastry. And they ship too!
