NYC classic — Antonio Veniero, from Sorrento, opened the East Village shop in 1894 as a pool emporium and cafe where he served his own baked goods. His pastries won awards in Rome, Bologna and at the 1939 New York World's Fair, and the bakery has stayed in the family ever since, known for cannoli, sfogliatelle and cheesecake. Wikipedia

“And let me tell you that it is life changing. I heard for years that their cheesecake was one of the best in NYC. After having it this weekend I have to say it’s probably the best in the world.”
