A neighbor of mine recommended Il Dolce when I was in search of miniature Italian pastries. I got three each of seven different kinds. My guests went wild! Each pastry was a masterpiece. Reasonably priced, considering the quality. When you walk in the shop, the display case looks like a work of art! We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

This place is kinda dirty. I went there to get a quick gift for a friends birthday, I didn’t particularly like the pastry before they are very dry and sit in the cases for a while before their sold. The old man with the dark glasses went to fill the box with pastry and dropped it on the floor then proceeded to pick it up and continue to go to put the pastries in the box. When I had asked him to get a new box he got aggravated rolled his eyes and threw the old box on the counter right in my direction (probably to be used again as soon as i left the store and it would be the nexts person box) I told him no thanks and walked out. I mean if you’re that comfortable to drop a box on the floor and pick it up again it tells me you do this a lot and i wonder how things then go behind the counter with people food. He then followed me out to the car yelling its very hard to understand and i just kept asking him if he really thought dropping food on the floor and trying to hand it to a customer puts him in the right. Tells me this place ain’t clean. I wonder who got the floor box after me. Stay away

Not impressed. 3 stars are for good cappuccino & nice service.
Tried a Napoleon and a custard. Both just cloyingly sweet and artificial tasting. Did not taste bakery made. tasted like something mass produced. Wanted tiramisu but what was offered as tiramisu did not look like tiramisu. Very overpriced.

Best Bakery in NJ!! Also, only bakery I've been to in NJ that has cassata pastries. When we stayed in Italy for 2 months and became obsessed with cassatas, unfortunately when we moved to NJ, it was very hard to find a bakery that has them. Luckily we found Il Dolce. The other pastries at this bakery are also amazing. They make the best baba pastry with cannoli filling. Best one I've had!!

Better than my last visit so that made me happy. This isn't my favorite bakery ever as things can be a bit dry in my opinion, however, it is still good. Additionally, I didn't leave feeling too ripped off, which is rare these days. I will be back.

What a cute and amazing bakery! They have so many options to choose from. Numerous cakes, cookies, and did I mention pastries galore!!! I was brought back to my childhood as I saw delicious treats I had not seen for many years. The owner is very helpful and kind. You can even sit down and enjoy a pastry inside with their available seating. There is plenty of parking too in the neighborhood.
