The absolute BESTEST EVER chocolate frosted CAKE donuts. i have no idea why these things are soooooo addictive, but they are. The vanilla frosted ones are second and even the plain cake donuts are wonderful. Worth driving LONG distances for these delights!!
Now I will never get any...cuz they ALWAYS run out of these first. But learn the secret and order first!! You will not be disappointed.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Kevin H.

Although I am guessing this may have changed ownership over the years, it is pretty much the same as it was when I was a kid. I will spare you(me) how many years ago this actually was, but suffice it to say it spans a few decades.
It is a simple bakery serving Italian influenced breads, pastries, cookies, and most importantly proper cannoli. By that I mean, you order one or six, they grab a shell and fill it to order. The ricotta filling is lightly sweet with just the right amount of semi sweet chocolate and citron for my taste. Wafer thin crispy shells with a hint of Marsala wine and cocoa. The ends are dipped in crushed green colored nuts.
Also if you get there early enough on the counter will be the pizza bread. This rectangle consists of pizza dough, good quality tomato paste and cheese, that's it. Simple well balanced yeasty goodness. I could eat the whole thing no problem, if I was not currently in the carboholic protection program.
Clemenza would be proud. Shoot over here and check it out sometime, leave the gun, take the cannoli. -

Cannoli are good and the eclairs. I enjoyed the Easter bread too. I'll be popping in for sweets when I am in the neighborhood.

Cute little bakery with a friendly staff. Not a huge fan of these types of pastries, but the cannoli filled zeppoles are nothing short of amazing!

Do not go to this bakery. My daughter's birthday cake looked like a 3 year old decorated it. I was so disappointed and upset. When I called to complain there was no one there but a bunch of kids running the place. Go to a real bakery!

Nice cute bakery. We had the strawberry tarts which were good and other desserts which were all very tasty. I would go again if ever I am in the area.

I will be honest and say I never bought a baked item here. My reason for going here is to buy pizza dough. For a ridiculously low price of $1.35 you can get a dough ball for what would make a small deep dish or medium thin-crust pizza. I go home, add sauce, cheese and toppings and the end result is better than any frozen pizza and costs a lot less than ordering one. If you want to be a gourmet chef and make your own pizza without the hassle of mixing dough and aging it, this is the place to go.

Delicious made to order cakes, excellent St. Joseph's sweets - never bad order. Everything I have ever bought here as been to die for. The bakery is family owned and shows the pride of ownership.

I love this place. It has been around for ever and is always consistantly good and delicious.Love the mini cannoli,I don't feel so guilty eating 1 or 2. They fill them as you order them, so they are not sitting around and getting soggy. The Italian cookies are always a good choice as well. I know many people love the cannoli cake from here. It is delicious, but 3 bites is plenty for me, very rich!The chocolate eclairs are also very yummy, but not as good as my childhood favorite,But that place is closed anyway. They are one of the best,give them a try!

Yummm! The custard filled b-day cakes rock the casbah!!! For real. When we really like someone, this is where we get their cake. Everyone else...Jewel cakes all the way.

Every single star that I gave Allegretti's is for the cannoli cake alone. I haven't had anything else from here, but they have the most amazing cannoli cake. Better than any other bakery.

The BEST chocolate donuts EVER! Drive a half hour like me, or more if you have to, just to try one. You'll not regret it. We have also used this bakery for birthday, baptism, graduation, etc. cakes as well. The other thing they are famous for is their chocolate frosted poundcake, which again, is outstanding. When St. Joseph's Day comes around (March 19, for all you pagans), make sure you try their Zeppole. It's an Italian custard filled puff pastry which is out of this world!! God I'm hungry now....

I would have to say that the bakery goods here are alright not the greatest. The cookies always seem hard instead of soft. The girls that work there always seem like they are in a hurry to get you out of there.

My wedding cake was from here...it was DELICIOUS. People still ask me who was the bakery and its been 1.5 years since the day. I brought in the picture of what I wanted and they did it even better! The cake tasting was really fun and we picked out a get combo! Chocolate cake with chocolate custard & Cannoli filling....AWESOME

Great bakery! Let me start off by saying I am not a cake or "sweets" person, but their stuff is totally yum. The Mirage banquets are contracted with this place so we just went along with their "wedding package" and were pleasantly suprised. I posted a pic of the cake and it tasted as good as it looks - even better. It was a beautiful cake! My pic doesn't look as good as the profesional pics, but it gives you the idea. A little over a year later we ordered my son's christening cake and it was also delish and beautiful! I am now trying to find a bakery closer to home for my God daughters christening and and can't find a place that makes me happy. I'm looking at taste, design, and costs and I think overall making the trip into Norrige is going to be a must! So far I've been quoted on the pricey side everywhere around here for the same thing, for about $50 dollars less. I'm looking for a cross cake that feeds 60 w. strawberry filling. They are charging $75 while everyone else is quoting $125 - 140. It's a no brainer! Horray for Allegretti's!

I ordered a birthday cake based upon the reviews and I have to say I was very disappointed. I ordered chocolate cake and I'm not sure what it was. The filling had some type of chip in it, which I didn't order. The staff was rude and seemed genuinely not interested in providing any type of customer service! I will NOT be going back here for a cake again!
