Ciao Bella Now Uses Fillers in their Ice Cream!

by wallystump at Citysearch

Diasppointed to see that many (all? - we had their chocolate and triple espresso) of their ice creams now use

- Guar Gum

- Locust Bean Gum

- Carrageenan

all at the same time. Yikes! We loved the ice cram they make, but now won't touch it. Had some lately and wondered why it tasted funny. Then we read the list of ingredients. Looks like the expansion of their business drove a once great brand to focus more on profits than on the quality that got them to the top.

Conti's Coffee Clutch, Got Jelly Donuts?

by Deadicated at Citysearch

It's all good at Conti's, my home away from home; and the best jelly donuts in town (most generous with the jelly). I love to sit outside in the nice weather, and on the nice comfortable couch in the back when Mother Nature isn't cooperating. Sal, and all the Conti's Family are friendly people who care about Morris Park, and that's what makes a neighborhood. Kudos! I'd love to see you resurrect the Fountain, this Bakery has been around since the 20's; it has a presence. It's not unusual to stop by and catch a sing-a-long or a hot debate about neighborhood politics. You should go!

Best everything ever

by lululiam at Citysearch

I can not visit the Broxn without paying Conti a visit. My family and I live in Mahattan, but we take the trip to the Bronx because we can not find anything as close to Goddly goody's as Conti's.

  • Pros: Alway there when you need them, even at the last minute.
  • Cons: I wish there was a Conti's in Manhattan
