Review Summary

Pasticceria Alati-Caserta is widely praised for authentic Italian pastries, with cannoli featuring crisp shells and creamy filling, classic sfogliatelle, tiramisu and a broad range of cakes and cookies that taste fresh and true to traditional Naples-inspired pastry making. The shop is often called a must-visit and a Montreal classic, with friendly, attentive staff and a charming, open bakery feel, though a few reviews point to occasional inconsistent service and high prices. Even on busy weekends, the selection and quality are described as worth the wait, and many customers celebrate the variety of sweets and the option to try cakes by the slice. Some items have drawn criticism, such as certain cannoli fillings, zeppole or butter-cream versions, with a handful finding some sweets overly sweet or not up to expectations. Overall, the pastries, from cannoli to tiramisu and eclairs, are seen as standout and the place remains a landmark for authentic Italian desserts in Little Italy.

Visite à la boulangerie le 24 décembre à 8 h. Énormément de choix & très peu d'attente. Comme à l'habitude, les pâtisseries sont d'une grande qualité & absolument délicieuses. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 %. Une adresse qui vaut le détour en tout temps, tout au long de l'année.Le personnel est gentil, souriant & attentionné ♥?

We visited Pasticceria Alati-Caserta & I honestly can't find a single word that does it justice. It's truly an absolute gem. The cannoli were the best I've ever had-perfectly crisp shells, incredibly fresh filling, & just unforgettable overall. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Pasticceria Alati-Caserta has an incredible variety of pastries to choose from. We tried the tiramisu & the cannoli as they were recommended to us & both were good. A true classic spot that lives up to its reputation.

If you're looking for the real taste of Italy in Montreal, you absolutely have to visit Pasticceria Alati-Caserta in Little Italy. After living in Montreal for a decade & trying countless bakeries, I can honestly say this is the gold standard for Italian pastries in the city.

The cannoli here are out of this world-crispy shells, filled to order with the creamiest ricotta filling (not too sweet, just right). I've brought friends from Italy, & even they were impressed! I also recommend trying their sfogliatelle & marzipan cookies-everything is made fresh & you can truly taste the quality. If you're celebrating something special, their custom cakes are beautifully made & always a hit.

The shop itself is charming & feels like stepping into a little corner of Naples. It can get busy, especially on weekends or around holidays, so be prepared for a bit of a line. But honestly, it's worth the wait. The staff is friendly & will happily help you choose if you're not sure what to try.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Italian desserts or wants to experience a true Montreal classic.

I recently visited this Italian pastry shop with high hopes, especially for their cannoli, which came highly recommended by social media & highly advertised. The shop has a tempting display of traditional Italian sweets. Seating area outside consists of a bench & picnic table. The lady who served us looked annoyed. Nothing personal, maybe she was having a bad day.
When it came to the cannoli, I have to admit I was underwhelmed. The ricotta filling tasted way too sweet for me & had a mix , I would say a tiny bit of ricotta & very buttery cream in the regular cannoli, the others cannolis had a creamy butter filling. It didn't have the richness or depth of flavor I was hoping for. It wasn't bad-it was just... okay.

That said, some of their other pastries tasted delicious & I'd be willing to give them another shot-just probably not for the cannoli.

Your best cannoli is probably at your local Italian bakery or paistry shop. Mine is!

Really wonderful bakery with lovely employees! Angelina assisted us with our selection, she was so helpful & patient since we asked A LOT of questions! We ultimately chose a few of the beautiful small pastries, two cannolis (original & hazelnut) as well as a bunch of cookies. Everything was delicious & we will definitely be going back to purchase a whole cake for our friend's birthday soon. Highly recommend this gem in Little Italy!

I am not the biggest fan of cannolis in general but I must admit these are exceptionally delicious. Most cannolis get soggy & the ricotta texture throws me off but these ones are made so well. I brought them over to a dinner party & we cut them all up to sample each flavour. Pistachio is delicious but my personal favorite was the Oreo one 👌🏼 10/10 recommend

On m'avait suggéré de goûter au cannoli & WOW 👌 aux Pistaches, c'est certain que je le recommande & que j'y retourne 🤩

Cannoli vraiment délicieux, je recommande ceux à la ricotta, les meilleurs. Les gâteaux siciliens comme les Cassata sont divins aussi. C'est aussi très esthétiques : la boutique est jolie & bien achalandée & le charme des paquets emballés avec de la ficelle vert blanc rouge est appréciable. Un petit bout d'Italie à Montréal.

Never planned but when we visited Little Italy saw quite a big line & was curious to taste their pastries. Loved their Cannolis with firm & crisp outer shell & variety of creamy filling inside such as lemon, chocolate, pistachios, strawberry & even more. We also tried their Ricotta cheese Chocolate cake which has chocolate & Ricotta cheese layer & not very sweet. Highly recommended. Oh did I mentioned you have have to stand in a small line so plan for spending some additional time to this shop. However their highly skilled staffs handles & manages the crowd very efficiently. Also big shout for Decio their staff who helped us & was extremely cordial, polite & professional to make us understand their popular & on-demand product. Packing reminds me of old days & their variety of cakes, pastries & desserts at reasonable rate will never disappoint you.. I wish they had some additional space else waiting outside during the winter time may be difficult sometimes...
