Very humble, authentic Italian owner from Italy. And the cannoli and pastries were amazing. Will definitely be back when we’re in town. Highly recommend!

We were walking around little Italy after lunch and came across this bakery. Got some chocolate croissant for breakfast for the next day. Heated it up with the microwave for a little bit and was pleasantly surprised by the chocolate cake inside instead of the solid bar of chocolate that most chocolate croissant have. This is way better because it's not as sweet as the usual. I recommend this is definitely worth a try.

Nice place to stop and get some pastries. Worth the stop if you’re craving something sweet.

Happened to come across this little amazing gem, so glad I did! Such a delicious treat many... I got the fruit tart and wow it was absolutely fascinating! A local walking by added that this was the best Italian bakery in the city and I couldn't agree more! Will definitely be coming back again!

Went in for the first time today, we ordered a white chocolate mocha, cannoli, hot chocolates and a cookie..this was by far the best cannoli I've ever had. Not too sweet. We will definitely be back just for the cannolis

We got canoli and cheesecake, it was really delicious! The atmosphere was amazing but the only knock was the price but I'm willing to pay again because it was that good

Quality authentic Italian cuisine. Great selection of pastries, drinks, etc. Cappuccino was abruptly put together however. Service was quick but barista/order taker seemed unwelcoming. Food was good nonetheless.

I walked here on my way to fisherman’s wharf and the charm drew me in. It was worth it and I came back again. It’s just what you would expect of a small Italian bakery. Amazing pastry selections and excellent espresso. They also have gelato. A few bistro tables inside and out complete the charm. Both times I went there were a couple of regulars there and it was fun to be looped into their conversation.
I had a double espresso. Biscottis, delicious!
And my son had the chocolate croissant, which was filled to order and super fresh.

The best Italian cookies! I bough a box to take home. Large variety of pastries. Great location in North Beach. Quick service even with a line.

Great cappuccino and excellent pastries. We had the best cannelloni! I had a chocolate and a pistachio and both were excellent! Kids had apple fritter and apricot flop which they reported as excellent! Service was great!
