Artuso Pastry Shop

Une première visite dans ce quartier authentique Italien. Rien à voir avec Mulberry street … Et des canolis à tomber par terre. Je né connaissais pas, un vrai régal

This is my favorite bakery. The cannoli from this bakery is the best. Love the location! Definitely a loyal customer.

This is my favorite Italian bakery. Every time I visit New York, I make sure to stop at Artuso’s. They always have a huge variety of pastries, cookies, and cakes. I always order at least one pound of assorted cookies, some cannoli, along with whichever pastry catches my eye first, but it’s always so hard to narrow it down because everything looks so yummy!
The service has always been great when I’ve been there, even on busy days when the lines can get super long.

We stopped in here after our trip to the Bronx zoo. Artuso has been around for ages and ages so we definitely had high expectations. I tried the rainbow cookies and they tasted fresh and delicious. We also purchased a few cannolis and ate one in the bakery. The girl at the counter was nice enough to serve it on a plate with some powdered sugar.
I think this place does Arthur Ave justice. Authentic, quality gourmet pastries with a homemade touch.

Lapin and I came here last Sunday for dessert. We ordered a handful of things to go and we were able to enjoy some of our treats in the bakery. The staff was quick and friendly. Although, when I asked for recommendations, the lady who helped us had no idea what their bestseller was. The desserts themselves were okay — nothing noteworthy (although, I might visit again if I was in the area). We had the vanilla cannoli, red velvet cake, and rainbow cookies.

My mother ordered a few dozen cupcakes for a surprise wedding anniversary party she hosted for my husband and I. I had never heard of this bakery or tried their cupcakes. SO GOOD!
I recently came back from Europe raving about how good all the pastries were in the countries we visited and unhappy with how sweet things are back home. These cupcakes were such a delight. They look very sweet as they have a generous dollop of frosting and a chocolate candy or Oreo on top but they were perfect. They don’t taste like so many sweets that are loaded with artificial sweeteners that you feel as if you will have diabetes after a serving. I just want to go and see what else they have.

The Best canolis in NYC, hands down!
Not to sweet, shells are crispy, filling is delicious. You can eat that by itself. And best of all they are always fresh and made to order. Love Artuso’s!

i’ve never ordered a cake/​big order from them, just walk in. i work at a school nearby and come occasionally for a cannoli pick me up, but the service is always really slow so it makes it hard to visit for a quick post-​lunch dessert.
CANNOLI CANNOLI CANNOLI

The teen employees surely didn’t convince us to select anything from the really boring Americanized selection other than Italian Ices.

Came here again and ordered a carrot cake. It was extremely stale. The cake it self is flavorless and felt like it came from a box. The cream cheese was hard and could barely cut through it. also tried the chocolate cannoli and the cream was stale as well. Not returning.

I’ll start off by saying that artuso’s was one of the last great bakery’s in the Bronx. I am not sure if they changed management but between consistently mixing up orders and staff attitude this place crossed itself off my go to list after 15 years.
In a span of two weeks they botched up two different cake orders and when we spoke to one of the girls explaining that the appearance of the last cake was not what we had ordered we got a lot of eye rolling and heavy breaths. Apparently bakers are not there on Sunday morning so not only did they botch up the cake but there was no way to fix it and not even an apology, not even from management. just a lot of blaming others and no solution or sense of urgency.
Take it from someone who works in hospitality, sometimes an apology & recovery goes a long way. Such a shame.

My family has been buying cakes from Artuso’s for the last 30+ years. The cakes are always fresh and delicious. I’m glad I live too far to stop in but when I’m in the area I do pick up one of their cakes for the house. My daughter and I can finish one of their cakes in 2 days. Keep on doing what you do best!

Best bakery in the Arthur Avenue neighborhood. Pastries and cookies are really fresh!

I ordered a red velvet cake for my wife’s 30^th birthday and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that there was more cream cheese than actual cake. My cake was a big ball of cream cheese basically. Never ordering a cake from there again!!!

So i ordered half pound of Italian cookies… that night they were all gone. yum-​o!!!
delicious buttery so good!

I came here right after work one day and I love this place. The interior is definitely not a modernized bakery, but the bake goods are just the best. I had their cannoli and it was just heaven. Also, I got their oreo mousse cake and it was the best too. This is definitely one of the better bakeries I’ve been to. The price is also very reasonable and cheap. I’m definitely buying one of their cakes sometimes.

A friend of mine suggested I buy my daughter cake from here from the day I order the cake they had enough staff so service was fast n quick the girl helping me with my cake order was so lovely wish I knew her name. The cake was made on time and they even had someone help me get into my car cause it was bigger then what I was expecting everyone from older ppl to the kids enjoyed the cake it was perfect not to sugaring the cake was soft n moist the cannoli filling was the bomb I do see myself making more orders with them

Got my sister’s birthday cake from here (chocolate & vanilla custard) and it was delish! Light but filling. Everyone loved it! The staff was VERY friendly. The only thing that I was a tiny bit upset about was that when I originally called early around 9 a. m I asked what kind cakes are already made to be picked up? I asked if they had a canoli filling cake for about 10 – 15 ppl and the girl said no. When I picked up the cake, another girl informed me that since it was that early they would’ve been able to tell the baker to make one that would be ready at the time I was going to pick it up (8 p. m). It’s really not a huge deal because the cake we got was awesome! So just a little tip: if you do happen to call very early, ask if they can make a certain type of cake that might not be ready at that moment, to be picked up later in the night. It’s worth a shot, if not, you can’t go wrong with anything else you buy there. The girl was so sweet and put a little happy birthday sign w/​the 2 canolis I picked up for my sister along w/​the cake. Oh and this was torture going here on a diet… FML all of the pastires in the front looked beyond amazing. There are certain establishments that exist for as long as they do because of ONE thing and that is: CONSISTENCY. Consistent with service and the product. Thank you for not only having amazing cakes/​pastries but also service with a smile! Don’t question getting anything here-​just go! I will be back Artuso!!!

This is what Italian pastries should be like!
I was in the Bronx for a work related project and realized I was pretty darn close to Artuso’s, so I made the short drive to this famous old-​school Bronx Italian bakery.
Rich bakery smells quickly embraced me as I walked in and I was quickly greeted by a very friendly and courteous young lady behind the display counter.
There were so many cookies and pastries on display that I seriously had pastry sensory overload!
I zeroed in on several selections: classic cannoli, chocolate shell cannoli, carrot cake, Pasticiotti, and a black & white cookie.
Ah…the venerable classic cannoli was so very good and such a guilty pleasure.
It was a great cannoli; a crisp outer cannoli pastry shell and a rich decadent ricotta cheese filling that was sweet but not too sweet as to not overpower the other flavors in the filling (I could still taste vanilla and cinnamon in the filling).
Even better was the delectable chocolate shell cannoli (what can I say; I love my chocolate!).
The same crisp cannoli shell, albeit chocolate dipped, that same heavenly perfectly rich creamy ricotta filling but amp it up a notch with the addition of chocolate chips equaled to a special pastry experience!
Not to be overshadowed was the carrot cake which was the surprise of the pastry quintet. It was a yummy soft and spicy cake with a perfectly proportioned layer of not overly sweet cream cheese frosting. Embedded in the soft cake were fresh raisins which added to the texture of the cake.
TheThe Pasticiotti was okay; it had a nice pastry shell, but I just didn’t like the lemon ricotta cheese filling. Chalk it up to my preferences versus quality; I’m sure for those who like lemon, it would be awesome.
B&W cookie was excellent (I honestly don’t have much experience with this type of cookie, so I really can’t compare it to any previous B&W cookie), but I know that while picking at pieces of the cookie while drinking a glass of milk, I couldn’t stop eating it and nearly wound up eating the entire cookie!
IMO Artuso’s is a must try if you’re in the area and a have a sweet tooth coupled with a good dental plan!

Great bakery! I traveled all the way from Riverdale to pick up my birthday cake and it was perfect; well worth the travel!
Also I’m obsessed with their rum babas :)

The smell invites you in but the choices of yummy delectable keeps you in. At least 50 choices I didn’t know where to start. We got a cannoli, lobster tail, cats tongue, biscotti, and 2 sfogliatelle. Each one was better than the first.
Considering this was our breakfast we had to show some restraint but it was very hard not to order one of everything.
