This is it, the good stuff, the reason NYC is the center of the world. Absolutely the best Italian pastry shop in NYC. Criticism of the service is probably justified (though I have not had problems) because when this place is crowded (as usual, Friday and Saturday evenings) all Hell breaks loose. The only weak spot is the gelato. Whether you like each desert will depend on taste. But overall, this is the best. Ferrara's, by the way, alluded to in another review of Veniero's, is expensive and impoverished by comparison. I have to admit my feelings about this place will never be the same since that poor beautiful woman was electrocuted in front, for those of you who follow NYC news.
Pros: pastries
Cons: gelato, crowds
