The 1st time I remember having this cake was for my Golden 5th birthday. Today at 36 years young I'm still enjoying a cannoli cake! Delicious and authentic true and true!

This Italian bakery is worth the price. This is a neighborhood staple. I see more people for their food rather than their sweets. Its a great place to eat and feel like home. Their chicken sandwiches and salads are great. In addition, I believe you can guy their marinara sauce, meat balls and etc.

The World’s Best Bakery hands down! Moved to Texas and how I miss the delicious cookies. Great memories of my Childhood, remember the days my Grandparents would take me to pick out my fav cookies which were the pistachio and cherry.

I really love this place, but today I ordered a beef & sausage sandwich to go, but I didn't get the sausage,

This is one of the most authentic and delicious Italian bakery style restaurant in the country. The gnocchi are phenomenal, the sandwiches are fresh, big and fantastic. The food salads are incredible. From lunch to catering, this is a great Italian restaurant

Ferrara Bakery holds a special place in my family's history, my wife's grandpa worked there while he was in high school in the 40s. He still remembers the founding family member Salvatore, who he just called "grandpa". Excellent pastries, and a slice of local history. Highly recommended!

Real Italian pastries and cakes. Had my wife's birthday cake ordered and the flavor and quality were astonishing, this place is now my first go-to place for cake orders. Had also some italian pastry, coffee and some sandwiches that were highly appreciated. They have a selection of main courses too that I haven't tried yes, but by the look and smell I watched from the tables nearby, I would try next time I will be there.

One of my favorite places in this area. Food and coffee are ok, but the main attraction here is of course the sweets. Of you have a sweet tooth, and especially if you like Italian pastry, you're in the right place. Great for families and has very nice decorations highlighting it's very long history since the 1920s.

I didn’t expect to have the best Alfredo sauce of my life at the historical home of a major sweets chain.
The ratio of pasta to sauce, and of ingredients within the sauce itself, was perfect.
Just enough bread provided to mop up all the remaining sauce, and a side salad to serve as intermission for the heavy taste showed just how thoughtful the folks here are with their menu design. 5/5.
Their espresso is rather expensive, but par for course with many other places in Chicago.

Passed by this place this morning and it caught my attention. I was hungry for a sandwich and figured I'd give this place a shot.
Walking in felt like walking into a conveince store at first when you see the two fridges filled with to go entrees and refreshments. Then you look over to your right and you see that it's a place that the owners wanted to feel like home. The decor and color palette invokes Italy and the Mediterranean. It gave off a tiny feeling of being in a completely different country. Obviously when you look out the window you're greeted with a vibrant mural and plenty of cars.
I ended up getting the Caprese sandwich and thought it was a good simple sandwich. The mozzarella was cut thick just like the tomato and there was a very subtle pesto drizzled over the two ingredients, sandwiched between a very well crafted french bread. It wasn't snazzy and it wouldn't blow your beret off but it was still good.
I'm looking forward to trying their pastries and coffee. Maybe even some of their prepacked meals.
