Ferrara Bakery

Ferrara Bakery is a legendary Italian pasticceria at 195 Grand Street in the heart of Little Italy, New York. Credited with creating pastries that have defined the neighborhood for generations, it earned national recognition when Food Network's 'The Best Thing I Ever Ate' featured its lobster tails and sfogliatella, chosen by celebrity chef Alex Guarnaschelli as her last meal. Cannoli are hand-rolled, filled with sweet ricotta, chocolate chips, and candied fruit, then individually packed on-site. The space carries a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels like a step into an old-school Roman pastry shop, and it suits solo visits, date nights, and festive group outings alike.
