The 6+ pastries I had from my visit there were delicious, it's what I expected quality and flavor-wise though the mini tiramisu was a touch better than expected. The main critique in many reviews was the lack of freshness. I visited on a Saturday afternoon, not sure if that affected things one way or the other, but everything was very fresh. The mini tiramisu were the strongest offering, the mini cannoli were also great. The mini eclairs were nice but not extraordinary and the chocolate creme puffs were very tasty but didn't keep their integrity as they were being eaten (chocolate creme will almost certainly fall out the bottom no matter what you do). I do recommend eating them as soon after purchasing them as possible (as with all fresh pastries) since their shelf life is, fortunately and by design, limited.

Morrone’s Pastry Shop & Café 2349 Arthur Ave. Bronx, NY 10458 Cartocci This Sicilian spiral shaped donut is coated with sugar and filled with ricotta cream. I wish there was a tad more ricotta filling. Otherwise, it was love at first bite.

Stopped in for a cappachino and some canoli. The cappachino had a thick frothy, too, but the espresso seemed a bit weak. Not bad, but notnstrong enough to garner a great rating. The canoli we had was excellent. I would have liked to try more of the pastries, and that seems to be their specialty.

This review is for the biscotti and cookies only. The biscotti were good. The quaresimali (almond bar) and double chocolate were the best. The raisin-walnut biscotti was also good; the raisins added a nice chewy texture. The almond and hazelnut were pretty plain. All tasted reasonably fresh. The butter cookies were on the bland side. I understand that they’re not supposed to be extremely flavorful, but these really just tasted like flour and jam. Also, I asked for a mix, and all the cashier gave me were jam-sandwiches and thumbprints. Disappointing, because they had a huge selection of unique and much more appealing cookies, but I guess that’s on me for not being more specific. $22/lb for the biscotti and cookies. My six biscotti and six butter cookies weighed 0.89lb and filled a small box. Overall, these cookies were good enough to finish but probably not worth a return trip.

Not so great for the money. I purchased cannolis. Each side had a dot of filling, the filling had no taste. The tiramisu tasted alright. This forcing taste like Italian bakery but more like Spanish , diabetic. I’m taking it back.

Cute pastry shop located within the Bronx's Little Italy. Great variety of desserts, good service and friendly and polite staff. Unfortunately my almond peach tart was not fresh. Honestly, I expected more! 😐

Pastries were mid, but did what it had to do for a late night sweet treat. Took my family here after pizza late night on a Friday. It was roughly 8pm when we bought pastries and we sat down. The worker behind the counter was rude though. Totally understand that closing was at 8:30 but we were not the only people there and people were still ordering. When it hit 8:29 one of the workers rudely yelled at us to leave while opening the front door open for us. Mind you, there were a group of two who they didn’t even speak to like that. I get it - you gotta clean but trust - there’s a way to say something. Thank God I’m grown, but for an establishment in this location - find better workers, respectfully.

Ordered Eclairs through Grubhub. Found mold on the bottom of both Eclairs. They also had an “OFF” taste to them. I know Grubhub takes forever sometimes, but it doesn’t take THAT LONG. Please have your employees quality control check products before sending them out. Please look at your process for cycling out old products with fresh ones and your temp and moisture control to ensure product freshness and longevity.

I paid for half a pound of chocolate-covered strawberries and received clearly less than what I was charged for. This is not a small detail—customers expect to receive the quantity they pay for.

I can only judge the pastries I ordered: cannoli, babà, sfogliatelle. The pastries weren't fresh, the babà was dry and wasn't as soft as it should be, but it crumbles with everything. Sfogliatella, the ricotta was dry and flavorless. The cannoli wasn't fresh, the cream was hard and not creamy. Unwelcoming staff, you could see they didn't care about the customer

Visited this place for the first time while on a trip to the area. Sad to say it will be our last visit to this place. We were far from impressed with the taste of the baked good. Everything looked delicious but maybe it’s just not what we’re used to. The only thing I liked was the cannoli. The shell was fresh and crispy and had good flavor. The cream puff I had was tasteless and the shell was hard and seemed old. The cookies we got were soft and cake like not crunchy as I feel they should’ve been. My kids had the cartocci and said it was horrible and tasted minty and ended up throwing them away and based on the description I didn’t feel it should’ve tasted minty. The service was fine and the young girl was friendly. And for the one box of stuff it was $40.
