Pasticceria Monteleone BK

I will preface by saying that I currently live in Brooklyn, and my parents live in NJ. I've been to Monteleone's a few times, and I've had the smaller cookies - which were good! But, I bought cannoli and the larger linzer tarts for my mom for Mothers' Day. My mother went crazy for both the linzer tart (one of her favorites), and the cannoli. She LOVED both desserts! She said that the cannoli was the best she's ever had, and she's a former Brooklynite!!!

I didn't have the chance to try much, but I tried a mini éclair. It was fun to be able to get such a small size, and the prices were great, too.

Best St Josephs in Brooklyn and best marzipan. Ill say the same on the lobster tail as well. Selection is vast and service is friendly to those who havent seen any of this before. Cool little joint too. Clean, balanced and fresh flavors. nothing to heavy and nothing to light.

My first experience with Monteleone was amazing! I heard they had the best rainbow cookies in Brooklyn, so I had to give it a try. And it totally deserves the rep! I also got the Tiramisu, two chocolate cannolis, and a mini cake with Nutella mousse. Absolutely delicious compared to my usual neighborhood bakery. You can taste the freshness, and the desserts are not overly sweet. Definitely coming back!

I love this truly authentic Italian pasticcheria and bakery. The selection of dolci is fantastic, as are their cookies, and varieties of marzipan fruits. I’ve never seen such a display of beautifully shaped marzipan in any pastry shop in my many decades in NYC. The cannolis are outstanding. I also tried the sesame cookies which are wonderful. Really such a delight to shop at this pasticcheria. I will return often.

The thing I loved when I entered this bakery was how it genuinely felt like an authentic Italian bakery. When I came in there was amazing aroma of all the baked goods. The smell of all those Italian cookies was amazing. When I saw everything in the display cases it was all beautifully presented. Everything looked amazing. Once again I always get overwhelmed when I see all the amazing baked treats that I don’t know what to get because I want everything. Lol! For my first visit I bought some fig and chocolate cookies. They were delicious! The staff were very nice to me. Overall this is a beautiful Italian bakery in a wonderful neighborhood. I would definitely come back again to try out more delicious baked treats.

Really yummy $2 small pastries and $4 one scoop gelato. Good deals! The fruit tarts are my favorite. Come here for all your marzipan needs most definitely
