“ Great variety of Italian pastries. The employees are also extremely pleasant and willing to help you decide what to purchase. The baba rum wasn't for me, but the banana cake, sfogliatelle, chocolate pb cake, espresso biscotti, cannolis, and mascarpone zepoli were all delicious and flavorful! The shop is small but offers a wide variety of baked goods. ”

“ The baked goods are so worth putting up with everything else; including the fact that it's small and because it's small, their selection is naturally limited. But what they have is delicious. The folks who work behind the counter could not be more friendly. And because it's just off of S. 9th St. it's in a great neighborhood filled with great people. Buy stuff here. Eat it. And then stop here again and get more! ”

“ Had to stop by this iconic bakery while in the area for dinner! Isgro is a compact Italian bakery - very compact, with just a bit of standing room in front of the glass cases and no seating so have a place in mind to bring your treats. There is a whole range of cookies, cannolis, and both whole cakes and slices that are absolutely tantalizing to look at. I do wish the prices were listed on the labels and it seems sort of user-unfriendly to not have them listed and make customers either ask about everything or just get a surprise at checkout, though. My group got a mini cheesecake, mini raspberry ganache, and a sfogliatella for $7 each, if that is any indication of the spot's prices. They came packaged in a cute box tied with string, which is certainly fun to present as a gift or at a gathering. We dug into them when we got home and each of us loved our respective choices. I'd definitely come again for some of those well-made pastries, but don't be afraid to ask about prices and maybe nudge them to be more transparent about them. ”

“ The Lobster Roll Pastries are AMAZING! Employees were all nice! Definitely going back as soon as I can. ”

“ Can't express how happy finding Isgro has made me! Everything is delicious! And looks good too! We keep sampling some treats, like Sfogliatella that reminds me of the ones I had in Amalfi, the little tarts and pies are amazing... and even the cat wanted the gingerbread man!!! Go there! And being a sample of goodies with you!!! ”

“ This pastry shop is amazing! It's right down the street from the Italian market.! One thing looked better than the next and I can tell you everything was delicious. I love their Christmas display and the staff was great about us taking way to long to pick out what we wanted. ”

“ Pretty great tart, just alright cookie! Super cute little bakery, pretty busy with a steady stream of customers on a random Thursday morning, many of whom were making very large orders that sounded delicious. I'd love to try more of the tarts here! ”

“ Probably one of the best bakeries in the city and for good reason. Pretty busy but the line moves quick. Dozens and dozens of selections, from cookies and pastries to cakes and tarts. There are a lot of classic Italian pastries to choose from of course. Limoncello and pesca con crema we're very moist and fluffy, both had very rich flavors. I expected them to be a little dryer as I went later in the day, but they were quite fresh. Mascarpone cannoli was the perfect level of sweetness. Ricotta cookies also delectable. Worth a stop in to order some sweet treats. Thanks ”

“ All the locals recommend this place and boy oh boy they did not steer me wrong. Traditional family owned and operated small business right here! The cannoli was the best I have ever eaten! So fresh, pastry was flaky with just the perfect amount of chocolate drizzle! They cost $7 but they are worth it! The Italian chocolate cookie was good but not my favorite that I tried. I loved the butter walnut cookies! Perfectly cooked and they were not dry like other ones I have tried in the past from other bakeries. The service is very classic and traditional. The waitress took my order writing everything down as I ordered it. Once completed she retrieved my order carefully placing all of my items into an adorable small box which she then proceeded to tie with red and white string. Check out my photos but more importantly go try them local gem! ”

“ One of our friends turned us on to this bakery, and it did not disappoint... FYI, getting to the bakery is definitely an adventure.  There is nowhere to park and it's located in a busy area. We did get a little lucky, though... We went on a Saturday morning, very close to opening.  This allowed us to find parking a few blocks away, but more importantly,  they were not busy yet.  We weren't able to try the cakes, but the cannolis were so delicious. They offer four different style and all were so rich, creamy, and addictive.  With crispy shells and decadence inside.... I had to force myself to stop eating them all at once! But the cookies were actually the best. Delicate , flavorful, nutty, scented, filled, rich and layered with flavor These cookies made me rethink Italian pastry. I dont think I have ever had Italian cookies that good...in fact, I know I haven't. Each cookie was different,  but had the same magical quality...sweet but not too sweet.  Crunchy and smooth, a complicated concoction of what I am assuming is 100 years of trial and error, and hard work. I have never called a cookie well balanced,  or even considered such a thing....but these are....and it makes me so happy! Heavenly! ”
