"Cannolis were the best my wife and I have ever had."
"Chocolate Gelato was so rich and creamy."
"Elderberry Tart was rich and intense without being too sugary and the house coffee was delicious."
"Stop here for dessert! The best cheesecake I've ever had."
Cons:
"crazy expensive for what you get."
"Obviously it is overpriced because the portion is tiny."
"The lobster tale was old not crunchy and has a fridge flavor."
"no surprise, but nothing to do with sicilian cannoli."
"We took a chocolate truffle. That was nothing more than a cheap chocolate ice cream with cacao powder on it and... a punch of banana ice cream inside(???)."
"The lobster tail was pretty good but a little too heavy on the cream for my taste and it saturated the pastry."
"I ended up eating the worst cannoli I've ever tasted - and I've had many in Sicily."

Atmosphere & Experience
Pros:

"There’s no air conditioning inside the cafe."
"Over priced and overrated to be honest; this place is just a tourist trap."
"Also the atmosphere is suffocating and over-crowded."
"The place was very crowded and unorganized."
"Feels very much like New York... would never return because of the attitude and treatment of the lady at the front."
"Unfortunately a typical American Italian second rate atmosphere not worth the 85.00 bill."
