Gino's Pastry Shop & Cafe

"When you’re tired of calling two bowls of Cap’n Crunch dessert, call Gino’s and place an order for pickup or delivery. This classic Italian bakery in Belmont is offering frozen desserts, like cheesecakes, pastries, and DIY cannolis with cream and shells. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Nestled in Bronx’s Little Italy, this pastry shop offers old school Italian favorites like cannoli, tri-color cookies, and sfogliatelle. Since its 1960 opening, the place has become so synonymous with the Italian Bronx experience that it was featured as a backdrop in Chazz Palmintri’s 1988 play A Bronx Tale. Gino’s Facebook page indicates that the shop is still open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and allows two customers inside at a time. Local curbside delivery is also available. Call 718-584-3558 for information on cakes and Italian pies as well as pastries." - Leah Rosenzweig, Eater Staff

"After strolling Arthur Avenue—New York’s real Little Italy—and working your way through all the cheeses and meats, and sandwiches with cheese and meat on them, you’re gonna need an espresso break. At Gino’s—a bakery so iconic its sign was a prop in a Broadway musical—you can get exactly that, served in a tiny mug decorated with the words “latte,” “macchiato,” “cappuccino.” But don’t you dare stop there. Order a cannoli and watch as it’s filled to order with surgical precision before your grateful eyes. The baker might even slide it across the counter and declare, “Now that’s a cannoli.” She means it. There’s nothing soggy about this pastry. It’s perfectly crispy and totally sublime. And if you time it right, you might catch Golden Girls playing on the TV in the corner." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
