I just got a Loster Tail from here and OMG I have been eating it for days! The whipped cream was perfect not too sweet and the flaky croissant like tail was just the right amount of crunch. It was super fresh. Outstanding.

I’m usually cautious about bakeries with large selections — it makes me wonder how fresh everything can really be. I recently stopped in looking for a birthday cake and was pleasantly surprised.
I found a beautiful Tiramisu cake and asked when it had been baked. They assured me it was made fresh that morning. Although skeptical, I decided to give it a chance and I’m so glad I did.
The cake was stunning and absolutely delicious. Each layer was moist, with espresso-soaked sponge balanced by light, smooth cream. The flavors were authentic, not too sweet, and you could truly taste the freshness. It didn’t have that dense, refrigerated feel — it was airy and full of flavor.
The service was excellent too — friendly, patient, and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed. If you’re looking for a cake that’s both beautiful and genuinely fresh, paired with great service, I highly recommend giving this bakery a try. I’ll definitely be back!

Ricotta cannolis were good. The Reese’s cheesecake was just okay. Not sure why two cannolis and a slice of cake was $25 though. Pizza is good. They do offer lots of variety for both pizza and treats. Prices should be posted.

Bought a chocolate fudge cake and the Oreo cake, very disappointed. The flavor is more like a brown flavor with sugar than actual chocolate. The “fudge” was just a thick crisco sugar brown flavored frosting in both cakes. The Oreo had a terrible dense frosting on top with a weird aftertaste. I do love their regular mini cannoli but it seems they’ve cut a lot of corners through the years but still charge astronomical prices, which would be ok if the dessert matched the price. Will still buy the cannoli but will probably stay away from the other desserts

We stopped into Russo’s Bakery last minute to place a birthday cake order for my daughter, and they were incredibly accommodating. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy despite the short notice. The cake turned out great, beautiful, delicious, and exactly what we hoped for. Thank you, Russo’s, for helping make my daughter’s birthday special!

The pastries were delightful and flavorful, and the small dining room, which has three tables, was not in use. While there is outdoor seating available, it seems that the tables, both inside and out, could benefit from more frequent cleaning, which would certainly enhance the overall dining experience.

Best bakery around! BEST cannoli in the area! Cakes, frozen meals to go, GREAT service with a smile that makes you feel like your their neighbor! Can’t say enough good about Russo’s!

I spent $18 on 2 plain canolis, a mango guava drop, and Twix canoli. The twin canoli HAD A HAIR IN THE CHOCOLATE Shell. You can see it hanging in the photo. It wasn’t just on top but rather inside the food. Obviously that is an immediate turn off. The plain canolis were okay, soft with no crunch, not a fresh ricotta flavor. probably because the pastries are made in the morning and refrigerated rather than filled in front of u. The mango drop may be good to some people but is not to my taste. It was basically all cream with a very dense cake at the bottom. Didn’t taste like mango or guava. Within the service, there’s one lady working in the front. From what I’ve learned in the reviews, she’s probably the owner. Very much running around and the only person to pick up phones so when she’s on the phone the line builds up. They also don’t show you the box of pastries while packaging it and hand it to you tapes shut so I had no way of verifying that the order was correct until in my car. There’s also no written menu but instead a order what you see. Plenty of seating inside, also no silverware provided if needed. While there’s lots of variety in the pastry flavors, they’re also missing a lot of key mkre accessible things. It’s basically all ricotta based or cakes. Overall, I would not recommend this place. As someone who does not live locally, i would not go out of my way. It also may be too overwhelmimg for someone with anxiety as there’s no way to plan ahead what you want nor are any ingredients listed anywhere or do you have the time to inquire. Instead I’d recommend South End Bakery in Newington for a fresher canoli, filled and made in front of you.

Went for the first time last week and we were SUPER impressed. The amount of flavors of cannoli is insane! We tried a slice of pizza, a slice of fruit cake, a whoopiepie, and rainbow cookies. I hate that I know about this place now because it’s going to be dangerous for my waistline! Definitely our new fave pizza!

Been coming for years! You cant find a better cannoli. The chocolate fudge cake is heavy and rich. Don’t skip the pizza! The cookie platters are perfect for parties
