This was a very happy surprise! We did a search for cannolis, and this came up. I got the pistachio gelato which had a very brown butter flavor to it. Absolutely delicious. Their espresso was perfect and we ordered cannolis which were magnificent. The cannoli shell was crispy and flaky and the filling was dotted with mini chocolate chips. We’re definitely coming back for pizza and more dessert!

BEST little Italian place in town! From cafes, to croissants, pizzas, paninis, focaccia, sweets, and salads!

Cute spot for studying or a cute lil coffee date! lovely outdoor seating and more indoor seating around the corner to the back. Staff is SO friendly they remember your name after coming regularly. Food has always been delicious! Highly recommend the flavored coffee (any!), pizzas are fresh made or pananis are awesome. Feel free to ask the staff questions if you have dietary restrictions they are very accommodating.

My review primarily focuses on price and flavor of the food. I went in about a week ago craving an almond croissant. I’ve had them in the past here and they used an almond frangipane with toasted almond bits inside as filling. It was tasty and fairly priced.

The pizza is just awesome. Came here with a friend on a whim and was kinda blown away by the quality of the ingredients and the dough. The gelato was pretty good too, though a bit overly fluffy for my preference. It’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Pappalecco’s pizza is certainly worth trying. It won’t disappoint.

I found this place by pure chance. I bought these delicious goodies! The flavor was intensely good and the dough fresh. It’s definitely on my list of places to return to. They have multiple food items that I want to try next.

You know it’s a REAL Italian cafe because the side salads are just lettuce and a few tomatoes 😉

I’m a fan of their Nutella and pistachio gelatos and their pizzas. Although they have a no-dogs-inside policy, we enjoyed our treats with our furry friend outside. The location is wonderful, and their customer service is top-notch.

Decent pizzas, but the service is so-so and staff often unfriendly or at best just indifferent. Also, do not order through their website. Not only do you not get their advertised discount, they also give you the wrong preparation time, so you can’t time pickup and end up wasting your time waiting for your food.
