You are certainly fortunate to still have an Italian mom.
Scroll around this hyperlink above.............
We ordered one of their cassata's last Christmas; it's shipped overnight with dry ice and was delicious.
A little pricey.......but worth it. The ingredients can also get pricey, to make at home.
T heir chocolate dipped canoli are also great, whether the miniature ones or the large sized ones......always a hit.
Their Italian cookie platters........ditto. My Italian grandmother used to live around the corner from this bakery......from 1890 to 1965. They are still going strong.
Excellent customer service if you have any questions.
Just scroll around for all the goodies..........
Their panatone bread, which is a tall yeast bread like a Polish babka, is also good.......and their Easter bread which is a ring with the hard boiled eggs baked in the braid......which I remember my grandmother baking.....but she always got her "pastries" from the bakery. She passed at 95. Obviously did not eat the stuff daily.........just on holidays.
Al so love their anisette and other flavor BISCOTTI...........we get that at Christmas also..........
