I love this bakery because they make the best Italian bread and Italian cookies. I just tried their Irish soda bread and ot was also great.

I always get my cold cuts here. I dont have to tell them how to slice the meats. They always cut them perfectly for sandwiches. Nice and thin. Never had any problems with whatever I purchased here. Ray C.

Vito.. what's with the no pictures sign? I have nothing but love for you! When I'm in Brooklyn, I need a little sumthin sumthin. Cannoli? Nah. Espresso and biscotti sounds about right. Walking in, Vito's bakery is best described as a place you want to be locked in for the weekend. With a spoon. Everything looks deelish! Lots of choices to satisfy my afternoon craving. But I spy with my little eye a freshly made nut cake. I see the different choices of biscotti. Vito, I would have went wild in this place. Cash only?? I ask for a double espresso and a piece of nut cake. The woman behind counter asked if this was the right size cut. She weighs it and gives me the goods. This transaction is not happening in Long Island!! Vito's bakery is a true Italian bakery, the smells alone are intoxicating. Fresh breads, Italian cookies, ready made cakes in the ice box. I think I just described heaven.. My buddy is with me, he's from Texas. He doesn't know what I just experienced. He's looking at the cake I bought, I didn't share! It was really really good. (Pinkie to lip) It was picture worthy.. Come to Vito's bakery for the best Brooklyn has to offer!

If you're seeking Italian pastries, cookies or cakes you've come to the right place. From the moment I walked into this small, local bakery on Avenue U, I basically wanted to buy and eat EVERYTHING like the cookie monster. The bakery was decked wall to wall with a massive selection of cookies and pastries. Now I know what pastry heaven is probably like. In addition, there were numerous cakes in the refrigerators against the wall, most notably strawberry cheesecakes and strawberry shortcakes (vanilla and chocolate). I came in here on a weekday to look for a cake for a birthday, specifically a strawberry shortcake. There are plenty of bakeries, Chinese and Italian, in the area, but I didn't need anything fancy. I just needed something that looked delicious, well-made and fresh. The main reason I chose them was due to the number of photos they had on their Yelp page. From looking at their Yelp photos, I knew they had a decent selection to choose from, so I called in the day before to see what their stock was like and the woman was very friendly and helpful, letting me know that they always had strawberry shortcake on hand throughout the day, so that was good to know and was convincing enough for me to swing by. On the day that I visited to purchase the strawberry shortcake, I couldn't have had a better experience here. In the 10 minutes that I spent inside, I asked the woman behind the counter numerous questions about their cakes, regarding how big they were (6 inches), how many serving it contained (about 8) and, most importantly, the price ($16 for the whole shortcake). She answered every single question like a champ and I made my purchase immediately. On top of it, she asked if I needed any writing on the cake, so I wrote down what I needed written and it came out perfectly. Prior to my departure, we had a brief conversation about the other cakes they had on display and she couldn't have been any friendlier. As for the strawberry shortcake, it was a little on the sweet side for my family, but I loved it. It was the type of strawberry shortcake that was made with strawberry jam filling in between cake layers. Although the best strawberry shortcakes tend to have actual strawberries and cream within the layers, I didn't actually mind the jam at all. The cake was a bit heavy on the cream, but it was all very tasty when eaten together. I will definitely come back to try their other pastries and cookies ... and maybe even another cake.
