“ Smells are free, but the pastries are a bit pricey. Very good and lots of Italian sweets. Build and fill your own cannolis. ”

“ Great desserts!! Cannolis were so good and not sweet at all! Service was fast, in and out right away! ”

“ Scialo Bros Bakery in Federal Hill (Providence) Rhode Island ~ is our MUST-Go-To spot EVERY TIME !!! Besides their amazing BAKERY items...their PIZZA is the absolute BEST ~ Light...Delicious...Even 'cold'...It is more of a pastry-type pizza...WELL WORTH THE TRIP !!! ”

“ So...overall I LOVE Scialo Bros, they have wonderful cakes and Italian pastries AND they have a small parking lot, which is a HUGE deal considering their location on Atwell's ave. I love their cannolis and cassata cake and almond bars and, and, and... About a month ago, I ordered a big cake for my son's graduation dinner and asked for the center layer to be cannoli filling. The cake was excellent and everyone loved it, but there was no cannoli filling in the middle. I am completely aware that I could have called them and complain, but never did. There was so much going on that weekend and it was an excellent cake, so really, more of a disappointment of note than a criticism. ”

“ This place is less a bakery and more a piece of history. As someone with roots in the same neighborhood as Scialo's, I may sound biased but you will not find a bakery with a better ambiance. Their butterball cookies are 10/10 would risk getting powdered sugar on my tie on my way to a job interview. Great bread too, this place is running 100+ years for good reason ”

“ walking down the streets of federal hill, atwells ave has everything you could possibly need when it comes to finding a good place to eat. scialo bros is no different. i originally happened upon this bakery when i was searching for a cannoli. with a name like theirs, i knew it was going to be good but i wasn't prepared for how good it was going to be! spoiler alert, i didn't get a cannoli because it wasn't clear that these were made to order, and i didn't see any in the display case. instead, i ordered a lemon tart at the recommendation of the nice gal who helped me and i tell you what, she did not disappoint! the crust was perfectly buttery and the lemon flavor of the tart was the perfect amount of sour. the crust was slightly soggy at the tip, but i think this was just because all the beautiful flavors were melting out of this absolute goddess of a dessert. the blueberries were a perfect complement to the flavor profile as well. i'm drooling just remembering it! my only reasoning for not giving 5 stars is that there is no menu anywhere online or in store (at least that i could find) and there is nowhere designated by the bakery where you can eat your sweet treats. i ended up finding a place a block or so away where i could eat but i'm not actually sure i was supposed to be eating there lol. the best part of my experience wasn't related to the food or establishment at all, but it has to be documented in my yelp reviews. i was taking the last few bites of my lemon tart when a huge gust of wind blew a nearby umbrella up out of the patio table it was sitting in and was heading RIGHT toward me! lucky for me, an extremely attractive man with an adorable accent walked up at the perfect moment to save me from being impaled. in summary, ask for a cannoli to be freshly made if you want one, but if you're not in the mood for cannoli you'll find some crazy amazing stuff here in any case! thank you scialo bros! ”

“ I stopped in the bakery on the weekend morning with friends. They all wanted to get cannolis. They were filled fresh to order. They all thought it was delicious. I was looking for something that traveled well home to Connecticut. I found these cute little pies. The customer service was great. She was very helpful and considerate. I purchased a small, blueberry pie, a pecan tart, and was recommended to get the pear tart. Each were $7.50. I tried the blueberry pie and I really liked it. They had tiny blueberries. My husband really liked the pear tart. It has almond paste in it as well. We did not get to eat the pecan tart yet , but Looking forward to eating that tomorrow. I would highly recommend trying the bakery out . They have cakes, Italian pastries, cookies , pies , cupcakes all different things to purchase. ”

“ Had the lemon cheesecake which was pretty good! Can't believe I've never been here before. The only thing that threw me off was no crust on the lemon chew cake, it was like a mousse almost but well balanced and not overly sweet. I can't recall the price but I think a slice was $5 or $7. A really good selection to choose from and reasonably priced. Cute little shop that is clean and well ran service wise. Will pay another visit soon. ”

“ Let's talk about this gem of a bakery on federal hill with the most scrumptious cinnamon ricotta tart. I'm having a hard time putting into words how mind blowing this tart is. I had to take a moment to understand what I was tasting. The fruit tart didn't hold as much of a punch; but that fruit is F.R.E.S.H. Note: No seating available. It's more of a pass by, grab and waltz around federal hill while enjoying your tart (or maybe I'm the only one waltzing) ”

“ The iconic 105-year-old Scialo Brothers Bakery on Federal Hill in Providence that closed in 2020 because of the pandemic was reopened in 2021 after a group of investors decided to keep the bakery's legacy. Owner Carol Gaeta decided to close for good and sell the property in 2020, due to the pandemic.When Carol put the whole place up for sale, she was aware that a new owner could do anything they want with the property. But then, an anonymous group of investors stepped up to purchase for an undisclosed sum, with a couple of conditions: it would remain Scialo's, the ovens must work. Repairs were made. The original recipes handed down through the generations must be used. And that Carol come back, as an employee this time. Carol carries the memory of her father Luigi, from Naples, Italy, who co-founded and ran the place until he passed in 1993, and her then co-operator sister Lois who died in 2020. The pastries, the pies, the breads are the icing on the cake of this Federal Hill institution. You can't go wrong with anything you get...it's well done, delicious and fairly priced. ”
