The line outside "says it all" at this "venerable" Italian bakery, a "superior" pasticceria and East Village "fixture" since 1894 that's famed for its "amazing selection" of "authentic" cannoli, cheesecakes, rainbow cookies and other "old-school" favorites "made with love"; "reasonable prices" add to the "joyful experience" – no wonder diehards say it's a "must-go" for every sweet tooth.
