Editorial Review for Alessi Bakery – by Alexander Thomas and Bevyn Rowland
The Scene
The Alessi family has been proudly turning out Latin-infused European baked goods since 1912. Today, their shop is located close to downtown and still offers an incredible selection of sandwiches, salads, hot entrees and (of course) desserts. Strategically placed pastry cases are packed with Cuban, Italian and American favorites, ensuring that lunching locals will give in to temptation on the way out.
The Food
Specialty creations reveal Italian, French and Latin influences on American standards; Cuban breads, French and European-style rolls dress-up hefty sandwiches. The outstanding turkey and provolone on rye packs about a pound of lunch meat in a single order. Patrons with a sweet tooth will be satiated with an enormous array of indulgences like Spanish sugar cookies, macaroons, 16 varieties of tortes and decadent cakes.

User Reviews for Alessi Bakery

Was very disappointed in what they bill as a New Haven style pizza, first mistake was not calling it by it's true name "Apizza". Crust was the biggest disappointment, more like a cracker than true pizza dough. My family is from New Haven so I know what their pies should taste like and sad to say, this is not it. Pizza is not terrible but not New Haven style at all.
Cons: Just not what advertised to be

Alessi is wonderful! I love their take out selections that you can eat on their covered patio. Meals here are huge and delicious (try the roasted turkey!)!!! And I can't rave enough about their desserts... I'm in real trouble when it's buy one get one free! The beautiful selection of sweets is mind boggling and the staff is always very knowledgeable & friendly. Ask for Wink when you're trying to make up your mind, he's never steered me wrong!
Pros: Selection, Value, Quality
