"North End shops Mike’s Pastry and Modern Pastry end up on all the tourist-friendly 'best cannoli' round-ups, but locals knew that Maria’s Pastry Shop was the real deal until its closure in mid-September 2019." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"You have a lot of choices for pastries in the North End, including two places where the walls are lined with pictures of celebrities who have stopped in for cannolis and lobster claws. But leave Mike’s and Modern to the tourists and every single politician - Maria’s is better than both. Don’t leave without the rum cake." - Dan Secatore

Small Italian bakery shop. You can pay in Card, only if the bill is above 10$!They are known for Italian sweets and pastries. However, they don’t have much sitting arrangements and not even a restroom! The ladies seem a little unfriendly ! However, the Boston cream pie and other pastries are good. The lobster tail was big and too sweet for me. However, I would recommend the place for cannoli. Stop by, if you are around.

This is it. The search is over. Cannoli!!! Italian cookies!!! Get in my belly. Tears in my eyes. Did you know they ship cookies? They know how to do it. I enjoy the comments about people saying the ladies are not friendly. Pull up your pants! You are in Boston!!!

Good Italian bakery with great cannolis and praline. Not busy at all like Hanover St. which was a nice change. Ladies at the counter were not the friendliest or talkative at all.

Smaller less touristy bakery. Wonderful baked goods. Macaroons were excellent!!! Soft, chewy, with a crunch. The sfogliatella was flaky fill with creamy ricotta.

A cozy cafe with delicious Italian pastries. We got the sfogliatella, a cannoli, and a piece of ricotta cheesecake​. All amazing! The folks who work here are really nice, too!

great little bakery on the edge of North End. everything is reasonably priced. the cannolis are very good and fresh, and their pistachio cookie is especially tasty!
