Chantele BondAugust 10, 2016I adore this place. It's my guilty pleasure . Always fresh and delicious and open when I need them.
Quality + decent prices in one of the best dessert spots in NYC. Don't miss the cheesecake with strawberries: it's a classic.
Freka SexyDecember 9, 2016My sweet tooth is stupid'! Already ate the rainbow cookies... usually, I eat those immediately after purchase 😋
Mike FriedlichSeptember 29, 2016Cannoli's are to die for! I had chocolate and double chocolate cannoli and they were delicious.
Mary OJanuary 21, 2014Be prepared to take a number and wait for your pastries. They are definitely worth the wait though.
The chocolate covered cannoli is the best, but get a small one and save room to try something else too
Sarah KFebruary 16, 2013Can't decide between something chocolate-y and their famous cheesecake? Get The best of both worlds!! Try the chocolate mousse cheesecake. Absolute heaven!
The fruit supreme cake is my favorite cake. Its a sponge cake infused with raspberry brandy, filled with bavarian cream and fresh fruits - guaranteed to not let you down.
Susan S.December 10, 2016Tons of delicious pastries, old school vibe. I really like the frutti di bosco tart.- All cakes here are delicious. My favorite is the fruit supreme. If you need a custom size cake order it a couple of days in advance.
CompassJuly 24, 2013For cannolis, tiramisu, and traditional Italian cookies, the 100-plus-years-old bakery is the only place to go.
Tiramisu is a MUST!! And the chocolate pear passion when they have it. And DON'T leave without a pound of saviordis!!
ドーラMarch 7, 2011This old world style Italian cafe offers New York Cheesecake, Italian Cheesecake, Sicilian Cheesecake. The cheesecake is perfectly creamy, fluffy and melts in your mouth. Enjoy with cappuccino!
Mike FiedlerDecember 16, 2016Get a table, sit down, have some coffee and a delicious piece of chocolate mousse cake.
Anna DzhenkovaApril 10, 2015Impressive selection of desserts. I love NYC strawberry cheesecake, carrot cake, and coconut cake.
Linda ChowMarch 16, 2015Came here many times to pick up plain or strawberry topped cheesecake for a gathering. Always a hit =)- BasakJune 30, 2015One of the oldest bakeries in the city. Old school Italian vibe and great mini cannoli!
Tara RocheDecember 7, 2011Everything is good. I particularly like the variety of cookies. Not too fancy perfect with espresso! Make sure u order in advance for the holiday!
Jonathan FerrariMarch 16, 2014When I miss Italy, i m running to Veniero to buy some pastries. Very old italian bakery, very addictive, handle with care!
Grab a number, browse the counter and be patient. The line moves fast.
EVERYTHING is good here! But the best are the cheesecake, carrot cake, and the cannolis.
ivy♥May 24, 2011Their NY cheesecake is super awesome! Oreo cheesecake is interesting too, but can be too heavy. If you don't wanna wait in line, just order for delivery =)
You haven't had a dessert ever until you have tasted one from Veniero's. After hitting up the Polish spot Neptune's i always come here for milk/hotchocolate and dessert. oh my lord is all is needed to Read more
Liane GrahamApril 14, 2013The Italian cheesecake here is my favorite dessert on the planet, but you can't go wrong with anything, really.
kate kJune 29, 2015A NYC institution with a wide variety of cookies, old school Italian - kinda mass-produced.
You could live off those tri-color cookies for the rest of your life. Stop in and get a pound of those, or the pinole cookies, or a half-dozen cannoli. Great for parties. Better eating at home.
Skander LabidiJune 21, 2019Icheesecake've tried the tiramisu and the cheesecakeThe tiramisu is everything but a tiramisu, I mean I have rarely eaten a tiramisu this bad. The is just okay.The service is shit.- Skander LabidiJune 21, 2019Icheesecake've tried the tiramisu and the cheesecakeThe tiramisu is everything but a tiramisu, I mean I have rarely eaten a tiramisu this bad.

Mark BallingerMay 20, 2013What else is there to say about Veniero's but the best in the city. We brought some cannolis back to Fla and we are now hero's
Classic, delicious. Love the cannoli & rainbow cookies as gifts.
Sandeep AhluwaliaMarch 29, 2016Usually busy and it's for the best reasons.. Everything is delicious.
Kathryn PhillipsSeptember 17, 2015I've this place!! Everything is delicious. Perfect spot to end a late night
Nick HuddlestonOctober 11, 2013If you're nice, say please & thank you, they'll give you a chocolate rugulah free of charge.
If you really like sweet, chocolate taste, try the pistachio tulip cup. Also try their carrot cake. They are my favorite (:
Lisa GarciaSeptember 3, 2011Absolutely the best dessert place in the East Village. I recommend one of the many varieties of chocolate cheesecakes.
Meric Akcay DunnSeptember 18, 2016We went there to taste their famous cannolis which were not the best we've ever had. But service was even worse. They told us outside was closed but continued to seat people there.
Always a delight to come here post dinner - reminds me of my Italian roots :)
Joelle BSeptember 6, 2014The mini tarte au fraises and Italian cheesecake!!! And baby chocolate éclairs- the canoli's and lobster tales are simply to die for. the strawberry short cake -- out of this world!

"Definitely start with the Pork Buns. Then try and devour a bowl of the momofuku ramen (pork belly, shoulder and poached egg). Or plan ahead, make a reservation and have the fried chicken!"
