Such a disappointment. We ordered a black & white cookie and a tiramisu with 2 coffees to sit and eat one afternoon. The cookie was inedibly dry and dark brown on the bottom. A black and white should not be crispy like a damn shortbread. It was way overbaked and just awful. I returned it and the woman took one look at the bottom and shock came across her face. I exchanged it for a cookie and she promptly took the tray of the other black & whites out of the display case after apologizing to me three times. I could tell she was really embarrassed. She was really nice and I appreciate her response. It was the right thing to do. Every business can make a mistake. A few minute later, a guy walked in, presumably the owner, and I happened to be facing them the way I was sitting, when she told him about the black and whites. She showed him the tray, lifting the cookies to show him the bottoms and how awful they were baked. He picked up the tray and put it back in the case and walked away. Nice move to turn additional customers off of Morrone Pastry Shop by serving them shit. My friend told me his tiramisu was not great. We left and thanked the nice woman. I won't be back.

Italian pastries were amazing. Very fresh and delicious canolis. The lobster tail pastry was fresh, crispy and delicious creamy filling. I recommend going early to avoid the lines. The gelato is also a must try.

Pastries are delicious, but bad service. The Lady behind the counter was rude and started talking about me in Spanish.

Title: "Sweet Symphony: A Melodic Journey Through Marrone's Italian Masterpieces"Review:Walking into Marrone Pastry Shop on Arthur Avenue feels like stepping into a little piece of Italy right in the heart of the Bronx. The place is filled with the delicious smell of fresh pastries, and a warm, welcoming vibe makes you feel right at home.I enjoyed an almond, peach tart, and a cappuccino in the store during my visit. The tart was a little slice of heaven, with a perfectly flaky crust, sweet almond filling, and juicy peaches on top. The cappuccino, made by a friendly lady with short black hair, was just as impressive, with a strong espresso flavor and creamy milk foam.I also took home some sesame biscotti and two types of cheesecakes: American and Italian. The selection at Marrone Pastry Shop is impressive, offering various pastries that cater to every craving. The service is top-notch, too, with super helpful staff who take the time to explain all the different options.When I got home, I enjoyed the sesame biscotti with a cup of tea while watching a movie. It was the perfect way to end my day. The biscotti were crunchy and just a little sweet, an ideal snack. The cheesecakes I shared with my wife the next day were so creamy and delicious, each with its unique flavor. It's hard to find cheesecakes that good anywhere else in the city.If you're looking for authentic Italian pastries in New York City, Marrone Pastry Shop is the place to go. The excellent service, fantastic selection, and outstanding products make it a spot I highly recommend. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet to enjoy on the spot or looking for the perfect dessert to take home, Marrone has got you covered.

For those of you who grew up in the boroughs of New York in the '50s and '60s, you will know exactly what I'm talking about when I mention the local bakery, especially if you are Jewish or Italian! Every ethnicity had their own neighborhood and their own local stores. There was an Irish neighborhood off of Kingsbridge Road, there were the Italians north of Boston Road and there was a Jewish enclave by Pelham Parkway and Allerton avenue. That's where I was! Every Friday at 5:00 p.m. my loving grandfather would pick me and my brothers up in his green plumbing truck and head over to Allerton Avenue and double park while he went into Saperstein's Bakery. We were so excited because we knew he would come out with a treasure trove of goodies. Onion rolls, rye bread, donuts, cinnamon rolls and challah. Off we would go to Grandma's house for a Friday night. Shabbat dinner with all of our favorites framed by all the goodies my grandfather got at the bakery. Every Sunday evening, my grandparent's would park by our apartment and we would all walk up Allerton Avenue to Gino's for an authentic Italian dinner. On the way back we would stop at Lanzetta's Italian bakery for Italian ices or biscotti or a delicious Italian cookie. Those were the days! Well, the Irish are gone, the Italians have mostly gone and the Jews have gone except for a little pocket of Italians in Arthur Avenue which is where I found the bakery with my friend Amy. It's about the only one left in the neighborhood where at a time you could find a bakery on every corner. I was visiting New York last weekend and promised my trainer a black and white cookie and was looking for a little nosh myself, so Amy and I headed over to Morrone's on Arthur Avenue which is just a few minutes from her house. Although it missed the excitement and flavor of the old days when the bakery was filled with old ladies behind the counter, kids and families picking out pastries and cookies and cakes and smatterings of Italian being shared amongst the customers, It still had all of my favorites. I drooled while I looked in Morrone's glass showcase filled with rainbow cookies, cannolis cinnamon rolls, Italian bread, and on and on and on. I got DeMarcus his black and white, I bought myself one of those big Chinese cookies. You know the big round ones with the almond taste with the big chocolate drop in the middle? Amy and I could not quite figure out why they are called Chinese cookies, nor could the lady working behind the counter, but we seem to have a recollection when we were kids that when you got your dessert at a Chinese restaurant, you had a choice of ice cream or one of these Chinese cookies in a smaller form. The sweet lady behind the counter put it all in a box. She tied it up with string like the old days and I was on my way. It's such a weird feeling when you go back to your old neighborhood. The store shells are the same and the outside looks familiar but as soon as you step inside you can feel the difference. I know life marches on but I sure do miss the smell and sounds of the old ethnic bakeries when I was a kid especially when I went in there with my mom or grandparents and knew they would buy me a Charlotte Russe or a cannoli! Before it's too late, head back to your birthplace or old neighborhood if you can. Walk the streets, check out where you lived, go into one of the old stores. It's emotional but affirming. It all goes so fast, my friend. Always stay connected to your past. It's who we are today and drives us for what we want tomorrow I'm glad Morrone still exists and I'll be back with Amy next year when I come up for my Broadway show, White Castle hamburgers and something from Morrone for dessert. Sounds good to me!!

Today was my first time at Morrones, i was extremely disappointed with the quality of the pastries . I don’t plan on returning. I will shop at Madonna’s instead. I bought an assortment of cookies , thumbtack , mini linzer tarts , walnut cookies, almond horseshoe, etc etc every single item was hard as a rock not edible at all the jam From the thumbtack cookies was also hard it was horrible and it was not cheap. Be warned you’ll be throwing your money out the door … hockey puck quality
