The quintessential authentic Italian bakery in the heart of The Hill in St Louis! From breads to all the sweet treats one can handle. Huge variety of goodies as well as frozen pastas, ravioli and meatballs! Love this place!

If you’re on The Hill and don’t stop at Vitale’s, you’re seriously missing out. Their Italian cookies are melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the cannolis? Absolute heaven—crispy shells with the perfect creamy filling that keeps you coming back for more. The atmosphere has that cozy, authentic charm that makes you want to linger, and the staff make you feel like family the moment you walk in. Vitale’s isn’t just a bakery—it’s an experience. A true must-visit gem on The Hill!
The nicest people I’ve ever met. They only had one cannoli left and I needed 10 for a dinner party. They made 10 fresh ones on the spot. Greatest cannolis I’ve ever tasted. 10/10 recommend. Go experience amazing baked goods and better people!

I traveled to St. Louis for a birthday party and ordered a tiramisu cake from Angie. We dropped it off at a restaurant where we were to have dinner the next day and then those plans were changed due to foreseen circumstances. We moved the cake to our hotel downtown and had a wonderful sunset birthday party. It was the most fluffy and light cake I have ever ate and most are so rich you can barely have but a small piece, we were able to eat almost The entire cake but saved a few pieces for coffee in the morning. Not only was it the most family oriented birthday, but also Angie was like speaking with my own grandmother. She told me exactly what to do with the cake and how to save it. If there is any left, there was not. I will be visiting these sweet people every time I pass to St. Louis for the rest of my life. And more than likely, I will eat a whole cake. Love yall …….Sammy Luv

Even if you don’t watch King of the Hill, you can still visit the king of The Hill’s dessert scene: right here at Vitale’s
What makes them the king you ask? The cookies were good, but the cakes were absolutely magical. The German chocolate cake I had here was so much better than the German chocolate cake I had from a German bakery earlier this week, it was like putting prime Albert Pujols in a batting competition vs your run-of-the-mill high school JV baseball player.
And when I took my first bite into the Tartufo, I saw hallucinations of an Italian flag and I began singing the Italian national anthem in the middle of the store, even though I don’t know a lick of Italian.
But buyers beware: these cakes are fit for a king. They’re extremely rich, just like any king would be. Don’t let that scare you away completely, as they have fruitier options which I didn’t try which are likely a little less decadent.

I came for the cannoli. The cannoli was not piped to order. It was soggy and sad, indicating that it had been sitting for two days. Very disappointing.

I have been going to Vitale's for decades. Now I am retired in KY and still love getting the cannoli's from her. A must visit!
