Don’t listen to anyone else... this bakery rocks! I needed some last minute goods and looked up bakeries near me. I ran in 10 minutes before they were closing and did not expect what I got when I came home. Their goods were amazing ! The eclairs with fresh cream - not whipped cream! and every desert had its own unique decadent taste from mousse cake to cheesecake to canoli. Great bakery!

This place has the BEST rolls & bread anywhere. Desserts are very good too. They sell premade sub sandwiches that are fair. Only get them if you’re really hungry.

There was a bakery in Garfield that was my families favorite. My family is from this area but now live in Arizona. That bakery closed a couple of years ago so I was looking for a new bakery to get cookies to bring for them every Christmas. Over the last 2 years, I brought them samples from different Italian bakeries in the area. Venice Bakery ended up winning over 6 or 7 other bakeries. That says something. I’ll be visiting Venice again soon before I leave my next trip to Arizona
