Il Giardino Del Dolce, Inc. - Chicago

Italian cookies of the gods! I nearly wept after I at a pine nut cookie! The fig cookie was amazing as we!l ...and on and on! Usually these types of all cookies taste the same, but not here! Yum yum! They make them right there, fresh I peeked around the corner and saw multiple Italian women baking away! There were cakes and all kinds of goodies I'll be back for that pignoli cookie SOON!!

Everything I’ve tried from this bakery has been amazing!! My personal favorites are the cannolis!

BEST BAKERY AROUND!!!Amazing customer service! I have been going to Il Giardino bakery for years!The pastries and cookies Outstanding!The minute you walk in your treated like family. Old world bakery. They are the only Italian bakery I know that still makes the traditional cannoli cream with with the citron candid fruit in it. OMG THE BEST!We get our cannoli birthday cakes there.It’s a family tradition.This bakery is a true gem!

You don't ask a customer if they can pay for a LB of anything! Horrible service and the cookies were not that great at all

This place is FABULOUS! I can always depend on the great Cannolis at Il Giardino Del Dolce, when I don 't have time to make them myself. They 're my favorite, next to the Sicilian Cassata (or Cannoli Torte, as Americans say) and of course, the Zuppa Inglese Torte, which my family loves! It 's best to call ahead if you 're buying a large amount of Cannolis or other pastries for an event. Even in a crunch and you forget or are in a bind, the staff here is always willing to make it happen and provide options. Not once have I ever heard, Sorry, we 're out or Sorry, try back later. Staff is never snippy or rude. They never make me stand there waiting for somebody to even acknowledge me. They 're ready to help me, even before I 've decided. This place has been our favorite for many years, and the best of all, it 's only about ten (10) minutes from my home! ~Bon Appititu!
