This place is a definite treat. I must have eaten here 4 times in three days. The experience itself is worth the treat. Located in the North End, you will hear Italian being spoken by the locals visiting. At night time the wait goes out the door. The pastries are always fresh and unbelievably priced.

This is the best Italian pastry shop in the North End. Everything was just perfect including the endearing owner who we met by accident when he offered his table and said he was "family" and had just sat down for a little coffee.
