Pasticceria Rocco


Family owned and operated since 1974, Rocco's is the epitome of a traditional Italian Bakery.  Walking into the linear space, large glass showcases display a selection of widespread classic treats along the left of the bakery.  A selection of tables are available across from the displays as well to the back of the shop, yet most costumers tend to get their dessert on the go.  Why wait to indulge? Keep in mind prices are a little high and they are not shown so it can be difficult to gauge how much you are sending without consulting the staff.  

A suggestion: although Rocco's turns out delicious treats, stick to the classics when it comes to ordering.  The cannoli's are stuffed to order so they are always fresh.  A personal favorite, the Rocco's eclair which is perfectly stuffed with a custard filling. Or try Rocco's world famous Sfogliatelle which is a dry dessert that is a crispy layered pastry with their special ricotta and semolina filling.
