Pros: Wonderful cheesecake
Cons: None for me - I've stuck to their cheesecake :o)
Summary: We live in Virginia now, but were born and raised in upstate NY. My parents both were born and raised in NYC, so you can just imagine all of the family trips we have made back there over the years. It is amazing that this little pastry shop still...

Pros: A cultural battleship of the East Village, so good you'll become addicted
Cons: Check your diet at the door, long lines, crowded
Summary: Veniero’s has been a family favorite of mine for 3 generations. The recipes haven’t changed (why mess with a good thing anyway?) because the cannolies and millifoglies I ate in my childhood taste exactly the same as the ones made in the present. ...

Pros: Don't know any
Cons: Late, rude, mediocre
Summary: We tried to get one of their cakes for a co-worker's wedding shower. Veniero's was running late, but every time we called to inquire, we were told, "another 15 minutes." Finally the cake arrived, more than an hour late, too late for the party--the...

Pros: Satisfying
Cons: Cheap-tasting pastries.
Summary: People rave about Veniero’s all the time, and it is no wonder. Sweet, and fat laden goodies that satisfy the id, and positively spun reviews that caters to the ego. Some say Veniero’s is the best, but, if you never had anything better, that may...

Pros: My favorite place for dessert!!!
Cons: My stomach can't hold all the desserts
Summary: We love to go out to dinner and then go to Veniero's for dinner. We've been going to eat our sweets at Veniero's for about ten years (We should have gone sooner!).
The napoleons. cannolis, tarts, cakes... and everything else is wonderful....

Pros: What they do, they do well
Cons: It's a narrow store and it gets crowded, the wait gets long, not much selection.
Summary: Ok, here's the real scoop. Veniero has its fervent admirers and for good reason. It has become somewhat of a NY institution, but let's not allow that to blind us to its faults.
None of the other reviews mention the fact that a lot of the...

Pros: NYC's greatest cheesecake! Anyone is all the more wealthier for indulging in it!
Cons: For Thanksgiving, I waited two hours in line to be served for service.
Summary: Well worth the calories and the wait, this restaurant's cheesecake blows away Junior's in Brooklyn. In New York City, Veniero's is legendary for its cheesecake. One in a million, you won't find anything else like it. I'd recommend that you visit when...

Pros: amazing fresh pastries, great coffee, authentic atmosphere for and Italian bakery
Cons: can be noisy and crowded, slightly out-of-the way
Summary: From the moment I set foot in Veniero's about three years ago, I have been nothing less than obsessed with this place. I will go so far as to choose a dinner venue (or drinks, or movies, or shopping) that is in close walking distance to this fantastic...

Pros: Huge assortment of decadent Italian pastries!
Cons: Can get really crowded
Summary: First and foremost, when visiting Veniero's by car, you must be prepared to circle the surrounding neighborhood for a parking space. Spots are very limited, but you may have some luck finding meter parking along Second Avenue, the better populated area...

Pros: Classic Desserts
Cons: Fattening and not sleek-looking
Summary: I am a jaded New Yorker who still assumes that good, southern-style (red sauce) Italian food and pizza (Neapolitan style...not deep-dish Chicago etc.) is just around every corner. That is, until, I go searching and realize that my universe has changed in...

Pros: Their pastries, cakes, cookies, gelato, all are divine
Cons: lines in the summertime...
Summary: As one reviewer said -- there really is no other. This is hands down, no contest, the best italian bakery in the city. Their canolis and mini-tarts are without peer -- one of my favorite combos to get in the summer is a bag full of lady-fingers --...

Pros: Like heaven!
Cons: Difficult area to find parking.
Summary: This has to be one of the finer bakery/cafes in Manhattan. I have a few others I like, but this ranks high. Be it their cookies, tarts, cakes, canolis, cafe latte or hot cocoa, there is something for every sweet tooth!
Veniero's is a nice...

Pros: top notch desserts, decent prices
Cons: crowded
Summary: There are people that say it's too bad Veniero's is so out of the way, but the way I look at it is...think about how crowded it would be if it wasn't!! It's fair to say this place is always bustling with people day and night to the point where you have...

Pros: Best cannoli in the universe, perfect pastries
Cons: citron pieces in cannoli filling, but that is a very minor complaint
Summary: I found Veniero's while walking around New York one day. I was visiting a friend and he had to work, so I was on my own for the day. I walked around the park and looked at clothes, after an hour or so I started looking for something to eat. There was a...
