Am I the only person who thinks that should be filled with whipped cream instead sugar????? I’m so disappointed.

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!

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.

So many options. Everything was delicious.

Before you walk into this old school Italian Bakery (located on the hill off Marconi) bakery take a second to make sure your shoes are tied on tight, you might even want to double knot them because the cream horns and the ricotta puffs will knock your socks clean off.
They charge by weight and by the cost vs the amount you receive it is quite affordable. People are friendly, helpful, (they do sell out so get there early) it's old school done right.
They have frozen pizza shells, noodles, raviolis, sauce / gravy, canolis, and other items to grab so you can actually get stuff for your dinner here too.
Pro Tip: Buy extra they are fresh so they are good the next morning as well.

Great food. Great service. Seeded sli eden bread is a must.
I am originally from St. Louis and I have lived out of town for the past 26 yrs. I usually visit St. Louis at least once a year and I ALWAYS make it a point to visit Vitale’s Bakery. I think the store is enormous and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming! They make quite a lot of cookies and breads! It is difficult to choose what to get so I get a little bit of everything! The ladies who work there are patient and very friendly! This definitely adds to the experience! It seems like every time I stop by, I strike up conversations with other customers, who are very friendly as well! I would DEFINITELY recommend making a trip to Vitale’s Bakery and enjoy the wonderful experience I know you will have!
Parking: Free street parking is available. The streets on the Hill are busy, but a trip to Vitale’s Bakery definitely makes it worthwhile!
Vitale's Bakery in The Hill district - It has been my history that whenever in a new city, find the cookies and the chocolate. I'm attending a conference and first visit to St Louis. I have a counterpart with the same goal: cookies and chocolate. We easily corrupted two more peers to seek the goods. I discovered Vitale's walking the Hill. I'm an ant, I scout, then bring back the other ants. Vitale's did not dissapoint. First, the staff are great and engaging, and they were patient, to the point they readily viewed my photos of my bread and cookies I make. Lots of great choices on the cookie front (bread, pastas, cheese and more). The cookies are good and we left with several pounds. I recommend a visit.

I like this bakery. I still go there. I wish their employees wear disposable gloves at all times. Not all the time, but quite often, employees put bread on their bare hands, which I really hate to see.
