"Excellent" cakes, pastries, the "best cannoli" and housemade gelato have made this sliver of an Italian bakery a beloved Carroll Gardens standby for decades, but it's the "wide variety" of traditional cookies that really stands out here; a "first-rate" staff is another reason this is such a "sweet place."
