Was very happy with the cake they made for my daughter’s college graduation. I usually don’t care for white cake but theirs was tender, moist and delicious. It was decorated exactly how my daughter wanted it. Highly recommend.

I got a ricotta cake, pear tart, flourless chocolate cake(2 pieces) and cassata(1 piece). The cassata cake was very good. It was different than anything I’ve ever had. I would say you just have to look at the ingredients and if you like the ingredients, try it. Would definitely order again. The pear tart was ok. I can’t say it was anything special. It was too dry for me, and not enough pear taste. The flourless chocolate cake was excellent. I would definitely get that again. Now as far as the ricotta pie, I thought it was delicious. It had more lemon flavor than other ones that I’ve had, but that turned out to be not good because it gave me heartburn later. Now believe me I love lemon. I drink organic lemon water. I love chicken franchise. I make it with fresh lemon and lemon juice. The only thing I can think of is they use artificial flavor. That I get heartburn from especially if I have something blueberry flavored. So maybe it’s the same thing with the lemon. I can’t say for sure, it tasted delicious. I would have to know if they use artificial lemon flavor instead of fresh.

My wife grew up in the area and has been ordering and enjoying Zuppa Inglese cakes from here for decades. Although we live a distance away, these are still ordered for very special occasions. Yesterday was no exception, as I turned 65 and we had a large birthday celebration. The cake was ordered well in advance and picked up at 11am. Upon serving the cake at 2pm, it was discovered to be frozen and ruined! You couldn't cut a slice without sawing through it. The layers of filling were frozen stiff and the whipped cream frosting smelled of over refridgeration . My wife called to complain and the worker didn't explain why it had been frozen. The credit card was credited for the cost, however it didn't make up for 16 people who couldn't enjoy the cake, and more or less ruined the party. The manager today offered the excuse that the baker had left it in a freezer overnight. I believe they knew this in advance before selling it. No further compensation was offered other than another cake. The birthday party has now passed. We are completely disappointed by this fiasco.

We recently visited the Federal Hill area. After lunch we stopped in Scialo Bakery for pastries. Everything looked absolutely delicious and beautiful. We purchased an assortment of pastries. Everything was delicious.

My daughter and I stumbled upon this Federal Hill gem on a recent visit to Providence. It apparently dates back to 1916 and is everything you could expect from an authentic local bakery. After weighing almost endless savory and sweet (mostly sweet) options, we settled on the Zeppole di San Giuseppe that were just made in advance of the St. Joseph holiday that week. They were out of this world.

Zuppa Inglese cake was very good -my only issue was not enough whipped cream at all!…and because of that I won’t order again…. But if you’re not a big fan of whipped cream, you will be very satisfied. They cake, the layers, delicious. Just please, MORE whipped cream!

The cannoli was simply put, chef kisses. Imagine everything you thought a perfect cannoli taste and you got it.

Absolutely the most amazing cannoli I have ever eaten! The creamy ricotta with the most delightful hint of lemon!
I come in from Boston to buy the very, very best in all bakery products. The people who work there treat us all like family and for this I thank each and every one.

I have yet to try the cake but I just need to let it be known for such a beautiful little bakery, you guys have such rude people working for you guys. I ordered a cannoli cake with “scorpio baddie” written on it bc why not? I dont usually like my birthdays but this year i wanted to be different but never would I though i’d be talked about (like i couldn’t hear them) because of my suggestion written on the cake. Just no customer service AT ALL. very flat personality, almost like she hates her job. Never coming here again.

This place is an authentic Italian bakery, it’s like a Time Capsule , the Apple Pie we bought was like Nona made it. I will definitely stop in every time I’m in Providence. The staff was very friendly as well. An all around Five star experience.
