I've been in the past to grab a small pastry here and there and was always pleased. But this week I was gifted a Cassata cake and it was perfect. You could taste that it was rum soaked as promised but not too heavy. I will 100% return to buy this cake again!

Screw Starbucks and Dunkin. Want a real cup of coffee?Visit here and don't forget to stock up on pastries.

I am enjoying the wonderful cookies and pastries from Villa Italia which are both beautiful and delicious. Staff was helpful and friendly and the shop is beautiful we will surely return!

This place is amazing. Every pastry is fully loaded with cream. The eclair was perfectly baked and full of cream, it was not soggy but baked to perfection. The lobster tail again fully loaded with cream with a crust that was super crispy. I haven't found a bakery that doesn't skimp on the fillings. Now you want to talk about tiramisu, man oh man was it delicious. Service was outstanding. Mostly everything is sold by the pound. They have cookies for days. Pastries for days and you have to try them all. They do custom cakes for all your needs. I love this place and will be frequenting quite often. You come here once and I guarantee you'll get something that makes you come back over and over. You been warned.

I've been coming to this bakery for a long time and was sad when I moved out of the area because they are too good. The assortment is worth it and is fresh. The cake is great but the best stuff is the pastries. I'd recommend the cannolis and the fruit tarts as they taste amazing and are well worth the price. The service is fairly quick and they are well staffed up front at the counters. Just remember that they do require to take a number when you come in. The best part about is that they have a few tables available to sit down and eat and enjoy yourself. I recommend this to anyone who wants good pastries at a convenient location (just make sure you find parking on the side of the road).

Cheekiest bakie in Schenectady! Got the small box which was weighed. It was heavy. That choco moose mice was insane. So much moose, Not enough mouse. But i was loving it. Yum! Their poland springs water is also better than other location. Super thin and refreshing Decor was on top too

Cute pastry with tons of options to choose from!! It was pretty busy the day I went but they are very organized. When you walk in they ask you to grab a number and will call it out when it's your turn. They have cakes , cookies , coffee , cheese cake and all types of pastries to choose from. They sell them by pound but you can mix and match. Some of the pastries were a little too sweet but overall but had. It's a little on the expensive side but the quality and service is great ! I recommend getting your sweet cravings or pastries for events from here !

Delicious authentic (as far as I know!) Italian pastries, all variety of wonderful cakes, (including tiramisu!) and best of all gelato cakes. Great treat for farm grandchildrens' birthdays, especially when fresh fruit is in season and they make all manner of flavors. Winter gelato cakes are limited to cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter, and the like, but still really good. (No real gelato maker would make gelato from fruit out of season.) Only downside: a little pricey. But so worth it!!!

We ordered a cake for my child's birthday. We have never ordered a cake from here before. We went in on a Saturday early morning and the woman taking down our order helped guide us through. My child wanted as much color and glitter and fun as possible. It was NYE so they had some cakes on display. We highlighted to the woman what we wanted based on their display cakes. They delivered perfectly. On pickup day they were timely, the cake was fresh, delicious, and fed exactly how many people we needed. I will be using them again for custom cakes.

We went on a whim because another bakery in Schenectady was closed--& boy am I glad we did. The lobster tail I got was so crispy and filled with cream I was in heaven. The rainbow cookie, while good, was definitely not the best and could have used more jam. The rest of the pastries look and taste great and I will certainly return when I get to Schenectady. The counter staff was harried but polite and I had nothing bad to report. One star off because the cannoli wasn't filled all the way through, and it was a pretty small cannoli. Nothing worse than a hollow cannoli!!!
