Italian Bakery near midtown

[lynnlato]

I need to pick up some "Sfogliatelle" for a friend (a Brooklyn native) to bring back to Charlotte NC. Any suggestions?

Midtown Italian Bakery- Pozzo's Pastry shop (www.pozzopastry.com) @ 690Ninth Ave/47th-48th. Sfogliatelle not listed or pictured on website so maybe call or email to check. small shop. Very reasonable prices.

In Village area:

Veniero's @ 342 E. 11th (www.venierospastry.com) Pastry picture on mail order website.

Rocco's pastry ( www.roccospastry.com) @ 243 Bleeker St. Photo on mail order website.

Midtown Italian Bakery: Pozzo Pastry Shop ( www.pozzopastry.com ) located @690 Ninth Ave (47th-48th) Didn't see sfogliatelle listed or pictured but can contact them by phone or email to make sure. It's a small shop-very reasonable prices.

In the village area there is also:
Veniero's at 342 W. 11th (www.venierospastry.com). Pastry is pictured on their mail order website.

also: Rocco's Pastry (www.roccospastry.com) at 243 Bleeker. Picture on their mail order website.

That's 342 _EAST_ 11 St. for Veniero's! It's not close to being in the Village (which means the "West Village"), but is in the East Village, which is not the same thing at all. Sorry to "nitpick" on that, but the East Village is really (or at least historically) part of the Lower East Side, with "The Village" being short for Greenwich Village. Anyway, the main point is that someone looking for 342 W. 11 St. would be very far away from Veniero's.

sorry for the confusion- i tried to quickly edit my first response but edit failed. ( 2nd response has correct address). probably should simply state "downtown area"?

Sure, anywhere south of 14th St. is "downtown," as far as most of us are concerned.

there's a classic italian bakery off of 1st ave around 12th or 13th. West of 1st. Sorry don't have the name tho.

You're talking about Taralucci e Vino?

I figure rjm is talking about Veniero's, but Tarallucci e Vino has very good desserts. I like their panini, as well.
