La Pasticceria Alati-Caserta est fière d'être en activité depuis 1968. Vittorio Caldarone et son épouse, Maria Di Meo, ont ouvert leur première boutique sur la rue Saint-Viateur, puis se sont installés dans la Petite Italie en raison de son emplacement plus grand. Leur fils, Marco, a grandi dans la vie d'une pâtisserie et dirige aujourd'hui la Pasticceria Alati-Caserta avec son épouse.Alati-Caserta avec sa femme, Linda.
Pasticceria Alati Caserta est largement saluée comme une pâtisserie italienne classique de Little Italy, avec des desserts authentiques, notamment les cannolis et les sfogliatelle, beaucoup de critiques les décrivant comme les meilleurs de la ville et même de Montréal, avec des coques croustillantes et des garnitures fraîches et crémeuses. Le choix comprend tiramisu, zeppoles, pâtisseries à la pistache, biscuits à la pâte d'amande et d'autres plaisirs de l'enfance, et l'endroit est décrit comme charmant et accueillant avec un personnel serviable. Cependant, certaines notes récentes évoquent des zeppoles secs ou d'une qualité inégale, des prix élevés et une expérience de service variable, bien que les files d'attente puissent être longues et que beaucoup considèrent tout de même que c'est un lieu à visiter absolument pour des desserts italiens authentiques, avec un décor festif et un fort esprit de tradition.
A lot of things have decreased in quality or are catering to french canadian people who don't know any better. & certain egregious choices, such as putting artificial costco style frosting inside a 6.50 nutella zeppole, or custard from a mix. I understand wanting to innovate a traditional recipe but you still have to use real pastry cream, real ricotta…
Sadly the quality declined significantly. People have been enamoured with the idea of going to this bakery, however, it's become some cheap imitation. Why is it so expensive for a place with such low-quality offerings? What's more concerning is the inconsistent customer service-some staff are dismissive, & interactions are racially biased. It's incredibly disappointing to experience this kind of behavior in 2025.
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.
They put all the emphasis on looks & their pastries look amazing, but the quality of ingredients is severely lacking. You won't taste conplex cocoa, coffee, cream & mascarpone flavor, the pastries all taste only like sugar & kinda bland. If looks & sugar is all you care about, this place is astonishing. If complexity/quality of flavors matters to you, it is not worth going.
