Editorial Review for Veniero's Pasticceria & Caffe – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Choose from 40 feet of sweets at the takeout counter, or get a table inside one of two dining rooms. Marble floors and stamped metal ceilings do nothing to soften the caffeine- and sugar-charged chatter, but Veniero's is a popular stop for the dating crowd. Look your best--the lighting is quite harsh and there are lots of mirrors.
The Food
Italian pastry of the sponge-cake variety, soaked in rum or liqueur and filled with custard, whipped cream or sweet ricotta cheese. Tiramisu, the ubiquitous lady finger and mascarpone dessert, is still better here than most anywhere else. Wash it down with the very good espresso; do likewise with the cannolis. The baba rum comes in three flavors--sweet, sweeter and sweetest--and there are a half dozen styles of cheesecake.

Just to try and set the record straight to all those who don't know pastry shops outside of Manhattan the best cannoli in NYC is from that famous shop on 18th Ave. in Bensonhurst. The owners are from sicily & the ricotta is flown in from sicily & shells are thin & crispy. That being said yes Veniero's does make good cookies, NY & Italian style cheesecakes, pastries and assorted specialty cakes.
Pros: Good Cheescake & Cookies

Veniero's has been a staple with me and my family for over 20 years. The service is great and the pastries, pies, cakes, etc. are second to none. I highly reccomend Veniero's to anyone who is looking for great pastries.
