A great deli and based on the number of walk-ins a neighborhood favorite spot. We had a delicious Boss panini and Original mufallato. With an extra pinch of salt, the artichoke salad was hit. The dessert selection is unmatched.

Strawberry Cheesecake (American) is creamy and served with whole strawberries, best I’ve had! Cappuccino Vaccaro’s Style with real whipped cream and side of simple sugar cookies. Everything was delicious!

I visited Vaccaro yesterday with my family. Honestly, as a shop, it has nothing truly Italian about it.
We ordered two cannoli and some gelato. The cannoli were fresh, but had a strong fried oil taste, which was unpleasant.
The gelato was the worst part: I chose hazelnut and chocolate, but both were full of marshmallows and the hazelnut flavor was almost nonexistent. After eating it, I didn’t feel well.
The display case was very dirty and the gelato flavors were mixed together, giving an impression of poor care and cleanliness.
As an Italian, I did not appreciate the food and would not recommend this place to anyone looking for quality or authentic Italian flavors.

Stopped by here earlier this afternoon for initially what I thought would be a sfogliatelle. However at $6.35 for each one, the price was just way too high. So, looking for lunch still, I settled on a traditional muffuletta for $12.50. For the price, I was content! There was a ton of meat, as well as hot olive tamponnade. On the whole, the savory options were well priced, but the desserts are just too expensive. Also, having to put up with table service just to have a place to eat was kind of annoying; the place was empty and the servers were sorting around. I might come back if I am back in Baltimore.

Man, this place used to be so good years ago. I used to come here all the time, and the pastries were fresh, the place felt clean, and everything tasted amazing. I don’t know what happened with the ownership, but it’s really gone downhill. The Napoleon cake I got was old and soggy, and the cream tasted off. The panini press looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in forever, straight-up grimey. Even the ice cream was a bit melted, like the freezer wasn’t doing its job. The whole place just doesn’t have that same care it used to. Really disappointing to see a spot I used to love fall off like this.

We had the eclair, cannoli and a chocolate dipped cannoli with chocolate filling. All very yummy. The ganache on the eclair was so rich and chocolatey. Quality flavors but not quite top top notch. We will stop by again.

I just stumbled upon this place while traveling for work and I’m so glad I did! Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry Shop is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh baked goods fills the air and sets the tone for an incredible experience. Their authentic Italian cookies are truly unmatched — perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with rich, traditional flavors that instantly transport you to Italy.
And the cannolis? Absolutely phenomenal. The shells are crisp and delicate, while the filling is creamy, lightly sweetened, and bursting with authentic ricotta flavor — easily the best cannolis I’ve ever had outside of Sicily.
If you love true Italian pastries made the old-fashioned way, Vaccaro’s is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try even more of their amazing desserts!

I heard great things about this place and had to stop in to grab my very own cannoli. It did not disappoint. It was delicious. The bakery had a few tables and chairs with a great selection of Italian cookies and desserts as well as ice cream. I only picked up my cannoli to go, but it was a great stop in Baltimore.

Not a great experience. Food was good (we had desserts only, I particularly liked the chocolate hazelnut cake), but service could’ve been a lot better. The staff surely took their time in offering a table even though it was practically empty. Once seated, the staff was mainly absent and even offered refills that never came. The atmosphere as little Italian pastry shop is cozy and nice.

This restaurant used to be quite the place. Unfortunately our recent visit It just seems to be not so great. The baked goods such as the Napoleon was not as flaky and fresh. The limoncello martini was served watered down and we had to ask for it to be remade It literally tasted like water. Portions are very big here. Their ice cream is not that tasty. There are quite a few people in line for the pastries themselves for takeout. Those might be pretty good They did not have a lot of dairy-free options. But they do look pretty tasty.
