Pasticceria Alati-Caserta has proudly been in business since 1968. Vittorio Caldarone and his wife, Maria Di Meo opened their first shop on Saint-Viateur Street, and then settled in Little Italy because of its bigger location. Their son, Marco grew up surrounded by life in a pastry shop, and now runs PasticceriaAlati-Caserta along with his wife, Linda.
Reviews portray Pasticceria Alati-Caserta as a beloved Montreal staple for authentic Italian pastries, with cannoli, sfogliatelle, tiramisu and almond cakes repeatedly praised for crisp shells, creamy fillings and a broad, high-quality selection. Many describe the staff as friendly, attentive and helpful, adding that the bakery has a Naples-like charm and a welcoming atmosphere, though a few reports note occasional sour service or a day when staff seemed distracted. The cannoli emerge as a standout, often called the best in the city, along with other favorites like tiramisu, eclairs, marzipan cookies and lemon granita; some reviewers mention the pastry variety and freshness as consistently strong and the shop as a go-to for celebrations and gifts, including custom cakes. A minority express disappointment with specific items such as cornetti or zeppole, citing dryness, excessive sweetness or oiliness, and a few point to price, lines or inconsistent quality over time. Overall, Pasticceria Alati-Caserta is viewed as a must-visit destination for authentic Italian pastries in Montreal, balancing tradition and quality with occasional fluctuations in service or flavor.
Tellement décevant. Le cornetti était sec. L'éclair avait aucun goût. Que dire du Paris-Brest.. une crème chantilly ?? La crème praline aussi épaisse qu'une crème au beurre & aucun goût.

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 ♥?
Got a tiramisu for my girlfriends Bday & she said it was so good, got myself a Canoli & it was tasty as well. The shop smells good & the staff was really friendly , it was my first time there & certainly won't be the last
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!

I go out of my way to get pastries. There is no other like it! The best cannoli, the best sfogliatelli, the best pizza, etc. Its a landmark that will never go away.
I was strolling around Montreal's Little Italy & came across this amazing Italian pastry shop. The variety of dry & fresh pastries is incredible, with plenty of large cakes as well. I had an éclair, tiramisu, & a coffee - & honestly, it was the best éclair I've ever had.

À chaque passage dans le quartier, je m'arrête toujours ici pour prendre quelques cannolis avant d'aller boire un café. J'ADORE l'authenticité de cette pâtisserie ! L'accueil en italien, l'adaptation selon la langue du client, le tout reste tellement vrai & chaleureux. Exactement ce que je recherche. Ne changez rien !
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.
