This is a hidden gem! A family ran neighborhood place that makes great cappuccinos and pastries. They also have a variety of home made, typical Italian lunch dishes that I am going to try next time I’m here. The place isn’t fancy, but feels really authentic, NOT overpriced, which is rare and appreciated these days…

This place was a complete disappointment. The food and desserts were clearly not fresh; everything I tried tasted old and stale. The woman working there seemed professional at first, but the experience quickly went downhill. I bought macarons and a cake, both of which were terrible. On top of that, she claimed her payment machine wasn’t working and insisted I had to pay extra to make it work, which was absurd. If you’re looking for quality and don’t want to waste your money, avoid this place entirely.

This was the worst place I have ever been to. The food and desserts were all old and stale, which was incredibly disappointing. The lady working there, while initially seeming smart and helpful, completely ruined the experience. I purchased some macarons and a cake, but both were terrible—clearly not fresh. To make matters worse, she claimed that her payment machine wasn’t working properly, and I would need to pay an extra amount for the transaction to go through. It was absolutely ridiculous! If you value your money and want to start your day on a good note, I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

I wanted to use washroom first before we order the food. The lady standing in the front desk was so rude and said NO without any hesitation. My wife want to try Pasta from that shop for the first time but we decided never go back to that shop anymore and never ever recommend to any of our friends. Feels bad for the management, loosing business because of this pathetic front desk lady. Thank you and good luck.

Great spot! It’s a hidden gem in Mississauga. Good espresso and fresh pastries. I’ve been 5+ times for a coffee and a cannoli and been satisfied every time. Being raised in a traditional Italian household and living in Mississauga my whole life I’ve tried many different European bakery’s (particularly Italian and Portuguese) in the area spanning from Oakville all the way to downtown Toronto on College St. This is a great spot and compete’s with or is better than some of the more well known spots. My wife is from South America, so I’ve had the chance to have coffee from many different countries on my travels as well. Diana Pasticceria particularly stands out to me for the coffee bean they use. The espresso is great. It’s smooth, bold and not overly bitter. They have a good machine and the service is good too, it’s an Italian bakery. You order what you want and you’re on your way. I was reading some of the other reviews…It’s not a 5 star restaurant. Don’t expect 5 star restaurant service. That’s not what this place is, it’s a bakery and a very good one.

Can’t really comment on the food, but what I can talk about was the service…. Absolutely insane how no even looked at me when I walked and continued to do whatever it was they were doing. All I went in for was buns and there was a sign that said “don’t touch we will pick the buns for you” and after 10 minutes of waiting and still no acknowledgment although there was only 1 other person sitting at the table, I used a bag and pick my buns. As soon as the lady saw me do that is when she yelled over the counter “excuse me can’t you read?” yes, that is correct! JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!! Would never waste my time coming in this bakery ever again! It is an Italian bakery that is closer to where I live, but not great at all! Even the pastries don’t look as fresh as I would have expected! I normally that the long drive to Sanremo Bakery in Etobicoke, and that is where I will continue to go! Now that is what you can call a real Italian Bakery!

I had a last minute company lunch request for 15 people that needed catering. With only 2 hours notice, Maria put together an incredible menu. The food was fresh, piping hot and at a most reasonable price! Would definitely recommend!
Vegetarian options: Cannelloni with spinach and ricotta, sensational!

We were in the area to grab an espresso and pastries. The lady took our order for the americano, cappuccino and biscotti. She was going to start with the coffee when a spanish speaking customer came in. She started taking care of his orders as we waited for her to get the coffee started. She didn’t even say anything and made us wait. In the end we left and settled for Starbucks- consistent and trained baristas who don’t play favourites with customers.

I highly recommend Diana’s Pasticceria! I recently ordered a cake for my daughter’s first birthday and it was beautifully decorated (exactly what I asked for) and delicious. I also ordered antipasto, chicken and pasta and my guests were raving about the food. Maria even called me the next day to ask if I was happy. Thank you for making the process simple, affordable and delicious!
I can't say enough good things about Diana Pasticceria Cafe and Maria's incredible cakes. Maria bakes each cake fresh on the day of the event, using no fondant but instead fresh cream and fresh custard. Her fruit custard filling is simply the yummiest, and her cakes are not excessively sweet, which we appreciate.
We've had the pleasure of enjoying Maria's cakes on three occasions: a friend's gender reveal, my husband's birthday, and most recently, a dino-themed cake for 35 people for my son's 4th birthday. Each time, Maria has exceeded our expectations with her beautiful and delicious creations.
Maria is extremely punctual and reliable. Her prices are competitive, making her cakes an excellent value for the quality and care she puts into each one.
Five thumbs up to Maria and Diana Pasticceria Cafe. She doesn't disappoint!

Very nice. Authentic Italian atmosphere. Friendly staff. Went on a Saturday mid day so it wasn't bustling. Picked up a few snacks which were good. And BRIO! Found a place with BRIO! Will have to visit again soon.

First time visiting Diana’s, as it was recommended by a friend. Overall, a good selection. I came here on a Sunday morning, so it wasn’t busy. If you purchase 6 pastries, so that’s what I did. Overall, they tasted very good. Really enjoyed the ricotta filling and the almond cookies were also great.

Little coffee shop. Grabbed an espresso and a hot chocolate for my date. The pastries ? looked good. They do cakes also. Thanks to the staff for speaking with us about the cake ordering process. Check it out if you like Italian espresso and sweets.
