I used to visit civitello's in little Italy when I was in schenectady. As a good italian, I would visit Porecca's across the street. I usually get some tomato pie and other things at Porecca's but I also would cross the street and get some tomato pie at Civitello's. I really enjoyed it. I really hope Civitello's reopens. Molto bene . I see Civitello's has reopened , I must visit soon .

I always love their almond paste cookies. Yesterday I hit the jackpot with parachute, eclair, and pistachio cheesecake! I am so glad they are open again!

So cool to have this timeless gem refurbished and still creating the food classics of the past which are still as delicious! Tomato pie, eggplant sandwich and chocolate eclair did not disappoint!

What a fabulous experience! The éclairs! The cupcakes! The Bocci court! All of it utterly fab.

Lovely patio to enjoy delicious spumoni and if you can decide, a few cookies, too. The tomato pie had a crisp flaky crust that I liked with a touch of fresh garlic in the sauce. Incredible pastry.

Not sure what happened but the Fake iceing was a huge disappointment. And the girl behind the counter was pushy and super awkward. And to top it all off she didnt have her hair tied back, 🤦🏻♀️dude its food service, hellooo…Just not the same Civitellos 😢

The place looks like it hasn't changed, great atmosphere, great food, a must stop
So pleased to see the shop reopened. Went downtown yesterday and ordered a few sandwiches , a couple of turkey sandwiches and a couple of Wednesday specials—the eggplant sandwiches. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the shop looked great. Loved seeing the old pictures and the pastries looked awesome. Turkey sandwiches were great, nothing was changed. Having loved the eggplant sandwiches in the past, the current sandwich did not measure up to what I recall. I would urge the current management to find the past recipe and do your darndest to duplicate it. The bread was fine, the sauce was great, but the internals were too bready and the piece of actual eggplant too thin. Hope this helps. So glad to see you are reopened and going down today for the lemon ice.

As always, the best!!! So, I'm in the lovely, renovated Civitellos enjoying my Italian Ice, and I have to say BRAVO to the new owners on everything! Decor, atmosphere, sandwiches and all the bakery delights are outstanding and you really brought back the wonderful nostalgia of old world Italian mastery!! Don't change a thing!!!! 💕

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The new renovations inside and out look amazing. Everything I’ve tried is delicious, but the Italian rainbow cookies are my favorite.
