Emozioni Pasticceria & Rosticceria

Delicious Italian bakery and pizza. Lemon sorbet and gelato are also excellent!
A great Italian place filling the void from the old Danna Italian Deli.

The best gelato in Santa Cruz, hands down! And the pizza is next level.

They did a great job on my wife’s 60th birthday cake. The decision by the entire family was unanimous - light, healthy, beautiful, and delicious!

What a gem! High quality Italian pastries, and the staff are so kind. A highlight was peeking over into the kitchen to see how everything is made. Loved the cream puffs and Italian lemon tarts. Will have to come back to try the pizzas!

Excellent place to enjoy a delicious dessert… the staff is super friendly and attentive. Everything I ate was delicious. Without a doubt this is a place to keep in mind when thinking about desserts.

This is not your average bakery. I wanted to get a delicious breakfast and looked up bakeries in Santa Cruz, came over here to get a couple things but the chef and the cashier were so friendly that I got a lot more than what I came for. The variety and good balance between sweet / cream / dough was outstanding. Coffee was perfect too!

Pizza is excellent! Gelato was wonderful! Service was above and beyond - so friendly and welcoming. Great little patio. Parking around back!

The staff is friendly and very passionate about what they do. They're cookies and pastries are world class, if you're in town for any reason you should stop here. There's a lot of Sicilian influence here, including the soft drinks they have to offer. This place is amazing.

Absolutely delightful bakery! My husband and I wanted to go for a coffee and pastry and ended up at this hidden gem. Very nice staff, explained their pastries to us and we ended up having some of everything. Decided to buy some more and drop off at friends, because it’s so good! Can’t wait to go back and try their pizza and other products.

this place has the most amazing staff, such sweet souls and will explain each and every pastry to you! So authentic and really feels like a small family

Just sitting in the courtyard with my friend after having pizza, sfogliatella frolla, and cappuccino. Feeling like we’re on vacation listening to Italian conversations in the background. We got a complete tour of all the pastries and the difficult decisions we were faced with, although I don’t think you can make a bad decision here. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

So, I've just had the best Tiramisu that I've had in decades...well, maybe ever!!! That's no surprise, of course, because everything that I've had there has been absolutely AWESOME...!!! So glad that they have moved in so close to my shop! No doubt this is one of the best places around!

Everything is a 10+++ !

Absolutely mouthwatering delicious pastries! The best in Santa Cruz county bar none! I bought 4 different flavors and each just melts deliciousness in your mouth! I am hooked!!

Real Italians! And figs. Being of Sicilian descent, it’s all about the figs! Wonderful pastries and service, from beautiful people. Friendly. Will be back!
