Crema's Take
“Mozzicato is a beloved Hartford institution since 1978 where the owner's genuine warmth and humor make you feel like family the moment you walk in, creating the perfect backdrop for lingering conversations over espresso and impossibly fresh pastries. This is the kind of place that transports you—whether through their exceptional cannolis and hand-crafted cakes or simply the nostalgic comfort of a traditional Italian bakery that still does things the right way, with hassle-free parking and a genuine commitment to making everyone feel welcome.”

Nice bakery. Owner is super friendly and funny. Makes you fell welcome. It’s a nice play to relax, sit down and talk with friends and family. We were a group of 6. We ordered: croissant sandwiches and pizza. Coffee and sodas. Everything was good. Definitely coming back.
Mozzicato DePasquale Bakery is a hidden gem that offers a delightful experience for dessert lovers. One of the standout features is the hassle-free parking, with plenty of open spots behind the bakery, making it incredibly convenient for visitors. The bakery boasts an impressive variety of cake options, each one more tempting than the last. However, it’s the cookies that truly steal the show. With a plethora of options to choose from, there’s something to satisfy every sweet tooth, and they are worth every penny. A visit to Mozzicato DePasquale isn’t complete without trying their top-notch cannolis. These Italian classics are crafted to perfection, offering a delightful balance of crispy shells and rich, creamy fillings. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or picking up a dessert for a special occasion, this bakery is sure to impress.⬤
Mozzicato Depasquale Bakery and Pastry, Franklin Ave Hartford. A nice safe place to enjoy with family and friends since introduced from 1978… Nice to see Hartford’s finest, HPD visit with family too.
We did a little research and stopped here while in Hartford. We needed cannolis and some cookies for my daughters confirmation party. The second I walked in, it brought me back to being six years old and walking into an Italian bakery. It smelled and looked exactly the same. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was very clean inside. Lots of different cakes, cookies, Italian specialties, etc to try. We ordered a few other things besides the cannolis and cookies. The pizza was better than expected. If you’re getting cannolis, expect to wait a few minutes. They take your order and then fill them as you wait. It is definitely worth the wait. I didn’t expect to put this in the review, but these are the best cannolis I’ve ever had. They use a ricotta cream Which definitely makes a difference. The chocolate was very good also. You can also add cherries, chocolate chips, or pistachios to the ends of them. I will definitely be returning when I am back in the Hartford area. Five stars!
I dont review on many places often but this bakery right here deserves a great review and much more!!! Besides their cakes and treats tasting amazingly delicious, their customer service is AMAZING!!! We bought a rum cake for my sister's birthday. We had a minor issue and let me say they treated us GREAT!!! They baked us a fresh rum cake and although we decided to go with a different flavor than the original, the owner was so nice to give us the fresh rum cake, a chocolate cake, AND goodies at no cost. He went out of his way to make sure that his customers left with a smile on their face!! We can't thank them enough for such generosity!! Customer service at this level is very rare!! They have set the bar pretty high!!! If you are ever in Hartford, CT this is a must go to place!!! I promise you won't regret it! They have amazing treat, cakes, bread and more!!👏👏👏 (Also, the best rainbow cookies I've ever had)
