"At Villani’s standalone Plaza Midwood spot, folks lined up out the door are transported to a tightly packed bakery in New York City. Villani’s pastry case is a rainbow of made-from-scratch New York-Italian delights — jars of Italian amaretti cookies, traditional cannolis, and cream puffs. The dozens of cake pre-order options prove to be quite the hit for big gatherings. Or small gatherings (no judgment). Just as impressive as the fan-fav carrot cake is the baker behind the counter rattling off the twenty-plus macaron flavors like it’s the alphabet." - Kayleigh Ruller
