“ Updated Jan 2025. The only thing changed is it's even better. Excellent southern Italian food with highest quality ingredients and preparation just as in Italy. Service fantastic as well. ”

“ Don't walk, RUN to Palazzone. The display case of beautiful pastry and cookies will make you drool. The servers are pleasant and efficient. They have Italian cookies made fresh, light and delicious and miles apart from what you would get anywhere else. The "lobster tails" were crunchy on the outside and the cream so light and gently sweet. The panettone comes in many varieties from Artisnal, made with premium ingredients to gluten free and even vegan. Palazzone is not to be missed. ”

“ Have you ever past a place , countless of times saying i want to check this place out ?? Well that ! Mamma Mia what took me so long ? The pastries and cappuccino . The 5 fingers to the lips and kiss ! Highly recommend to get your holiday party and family gathering treats !! Walked out with 3 pies , Panettone and of course can't forget the cannolis ! This place is so cozy , it belongs in a neighborhood not in corner facing 3 major highways ( 46, 23 , 80 ) But then again the exposure for more foot traffic is high . It does get packed !! . Which leads me to say , the eat in cafe area is very small , tiny . Its more sip and go rather then hang out like old school or European cafes . ”

“ Simply amazing!! I grew up in Brooklyn and always had the most delicious Italian pastries. I was having the hardest time finding something that was comparable here. When we tried this place I was so surprised at how delicious everything was. The staff is so friendly and we chatted about the different kinds of pastries and cakes available. My kids love the gelato and even when my daughter accidentally dropped hers on the floor, they quickly offered her a replacement! Seriously, the cakes and pastries are top notch and you'd be hard pressed to find a better place in the area! ”

“ First you need to be patient with willowbook mall traffic and the only access is from Newark Pompton turnpike GOING NORTH. Waze routes you through downtown little falls so be braced for a commute or making illegal shopping center drive uturns. Finally got here for lunch as it's not open late enough for dinner and it was worth the wait. Dishes are fresh and well made. Had ravioli with black truffle sauce. Amazing. Pastries are ok and beautiful but stick with Italian ones as carrot cake was tasteless to me ”

“ I'm giving four stars because the cake is really good but the message inscription on the cake can be professional. Can do better in this area. Ordered online from the little falls branch. ”

“ The Palazzone family are immigrants from Italy. They bring traditional Italian pastries that are authentic, fresh and of old world quality. When I need to bring pastries to an event, I often come here. Open since 1960 at this location, Palazzone's is located on Route 23 South directly opposite the WillowBrook Mall. Cookies are purchased by the pound. They range between $16-$18 which in this area is a pretty competitive price. Pastries can be bought individually starting at $2.75. Once you have tasted their cookies or pastries you well notice their quality. They are delicious. I recommend their lobster tails ($3.80). Mousses ($5.00). Cannoli ($3.50), Tiramisu ($5.00) and Napoleons ($2.50) Their Gelato offerings start at $4 for a small and up to $8 for a large. ”

“ Desserts are RIDICULOUSLY delicious, there are no words to capture their taste. I used to consider them pricey but since COVID, what isn't expensive these days? The pastries I got were $2.50 and $3.50 each. Tip: get anything hazelnut-- which, btw, was the best tasting hazelnut I've ever had. Cons: a bit hard to get too since it's on the corner of Rte 23 as you risk your life to onboard 80 or 46 so try going during not busy times for better chances to get in/out as well as find parking. Inside ambiance is nothing to write home about but who cares when the quality of goods is that tasty and authentic?? Totally worth the visit, worth every calorie, more than worth every penny. ”

“ Aside from sometimes having some parking issues from the small lot, the food is always great and so are the coffees! Definitely great quality! ”

“ If you are looking for a spot for lunch you have found it. The service is always attentive and the two staff members who are always there make you feel like you took a quick trip to Italy and I absolutely love it. The Olivia salad is one of my go-tos. You'll see pictured is this salad with arugula rather than lettuce. 10/10 as always ”
