Francesco's Italian Bakery

We’ve been getting my son’s birthday cake here for years. Always delicious and fresh!

Discovered this small bakery on the way home from Milton, Mass. by Googling Sturbridge bakeries. Picked up supper -- delicious stuffed bread -- and dessert treats. Didn't need bread, but it looked good. A bit out of the way, but if you're on Route 20 it's convenient.

Vegetarian options: The stuffed breads had several veg. options. See picture of receipt for what we chose.

I ordered a cake for my wife’s birthday. She is a fan of Harry Potter, in particular Slytherin house. I asked for a Slytherin-themed cake and the baker used their artistic skills to make an amazing design! The cake was moist and the flavors were very good! The price was very fair for the incredible art and flavors on a 10in cake!

We can't stop talking about the food here, get there early though it's so good and popular they sell out of stuff

My husband and I ordered our wedding cake from Francesco's. It was absolutely delicious!!! The cake itself was super moist and the filling was very flavorful. The Italian cream frosting was light and airy, but it was still able to hold the elegant piping design. We loved how the the bakery arranged flowers (provided by the florist) on the cake as well. Francesco's also provided a complementary one year anniversary cake - we can't wait to enjoy it next year! Thanks to the team at Francesco's for helping to make our day special!

Dietary restrictions: We were able to order a small gluten-free version of our wedding cake, which was great!

This is a wonderful small Italian bakery hidden on the outskirts of town but it's worth finding, it was my first time and I bought a assortment for the family. I will definitely be coming back even though Francesco's is 50 minutes from my house.

We were up at Sterns today and remembered that Francesca’s was right there so we stopped by to pick up a few cannolis to go with our steaks we got a Sterns. Next time we will skip the confections. Cannolis usually go one of two ways: either the pastry is a very un-cost-effective labor of love made with mostly ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, and powdered sugar- or the disappointing cost-cutting way, made with mostly whipped cream, a “touch” of cheese, amaretto extract, sugar, sugar and more sugar. Francesca’s cannolis are very much the latter. You’d think that a place that prides itself on being an Italian bakery would do things the right way. At 3.99 each, there’s no doubt they are doing things the right way…. For their pocketbooks. Definitely skip this place on your drive by, unless you have diabetic envy.

Absolutely my favorite bakery!!! Not to be missed!

Vegetarian options: If this means no eggs used, then I am not sure. But for meatless, you will find a wonderful selection. They have Broccoli/cheese or pizza puff pastries that are extremely popular. Their regular Pizza is very good (no meat available)

Parking: You can park right in front or to either side. This is not an eat-in place, so there is always parking spots available. If by any chance there were not, one will open quickly.

Kid-friendliness: Children will be thrilled with the huge selection of cookies, small dessert cakes, eclairs (so good!), cannoli's. Their cream and fillings are not loaded with sugar, which is what I like.
