This bakery has been on my list for quite some time. I am glad I had the opportunity to order via Uber Eats. I ordered Rice balls (both options - Ham & Cheese , Meat) I also ordered a fruit tart and Nutella Graham cracker dessert. Everything was fresh & phenomenal. The Nutella dessert had a few different textures with the graham cracker, gele topping and creaminess of the ganache . All I can say is dessert heaven. The savory rice balls were amazing too. Will definitely be ordering again.

Love their fruit tarts. Good height, filling and sweet fruits. The prices were reasonable.

Excellent Italian bakery . From their cakes to their cookies to their pastries and bread everything is delicious! Their strawberry shortcake may be one of the best and their gelato tastes like it came straight from Italy. Neighborhood staple for years and worth the hype

A very nice Italian bakery in the Bensonhurst neighborhood. I came here from a recommendation from my colleague and close friend. She recommended their fried cannoli donuts. She was kind enough to get one for me to share because it was THAT good. Fried sugared donut with a cannoli cream and chocolate chips. It was dangerously delicious with a hot cup of coffee. It was so delicious, I had to go see for myself. The bakery is kind of chaotic if you aren't paying attention so self-awareness and general awareness is KEY. Pay attention to signs, the main line, and you will be in and out in no time. Personally it can get annoying and claustrophobic because of other customers being loud and boisterous and just in the way of the glass displays, but staff is nice and try to get you in and out efficiently. Overall, we love their fried cannoli donuts, and fresh fruit tarts. Really great bakery to stop by and enjoy their goods. Highly recommend trying them out for their donuts. Have not tried their gelato but would like to. Their gelato does not look very authentic because it's whipped up and piled high. Authentic gelato is denser and does not have added emulsifiers, they should be in metal tins, with a cover. Their "gelato" looks more for show, to appear enticing which it does, but questionable authenticity. As ice cream I'm sure it tastes great and will try it next time I stop by.

I came here for dessert after dinner since I was in the area. My friend said this was the best Italian bakery in NYC. I haven't had a rainbow cookie in years so I thought I would try their rainbow cookie. The staff were super nice, you can order rainbow cookies individually or by the pound. I ordered 4 cookies and it was like $5 which wasn't bad. The rainbow cookies use apricot jam instead of raspberry jam which I prefer. The rainbow cookies were good but I wouldn't say it's the best, I've had better rainbow cookies at Italian bakeries in Staten Island. Maybe I have to try their lobster tails and cannolis, they seem more popular here.

One Word: HEAVEN You walk into Villabate Alba and become intoxicated by the sweet aroma of sugary baked goods. Everything is good. Must haves: lemon drop, ricotta cookies, cannolis, rainbow cookies Summer time must have: gelato Everything I have ever had from Villabate Alba has been good. It's been a major pregnancy craving for me!

Always fresh, always delicious. Too many products to make a choice, I want it all! This place is always busy and slammed for every holiday. If you don't want to wait on line go during the day. Just point and ask if you want to know what's inside the cake or pastry, staff is glad to let you know. Don't forget to check out the stuff on the shelves behind the showcases. Breads, cookies, pizza, coffee, ices, cakes and more.

Walked in, wasn't too busy, this bakery is very organized and clean, so many delicious pastry options. Was greeted within 2 minutes by a very pleasant young lady. Stopped in for a birthday cake, I chose the hazelnut cake. They wrote happy birthday very nicely, they asked if I needed anything else. They showed me all the candle selection and rang me up. Very pleasant all the way through. There are 2 different lines for the pastries vs breads, coffee and gelato. Went to the other side and grabbed a scoop a pistachio gelato. YUUUMMM! So delicious and tasted fresh. The cake was very moist, but I thought the cream to cake ratio on the inside was off. Way too much hazelnut cream in the center. Overall light and not overly sweet flavor, which I enjoyed. Will be back to try more of their pastries and cakes :)

We're backkkkkk. Hubby said he wanted to go to Villabate and I couldn't for the life of me remember if we been here before. Thankfully I decided to join him on the ride to Bklyn. I can't believe I previously related this place 2 stars with a stellar review, clearly that was a mistake. I wish Villabate had more savory items. However we racked up on Pistachio Cookies, Pignoli Cookies, Rainbow Cookies, Biscotti Cookie, Raspberry Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies, Cannoli and Cartocci.
