Open since 1912, Egidio Pastry Shop is a Bronx destination for Italian cookies, biscotti, pastries, and cakes. The cannoli, available in chocolate and regular, are a stand-out -- the shells are crispy and golden and the piped ricotta filling is sweet and creamy. There's a coffee counter reminiscent of Italian coffee bars, and a few tables by the display case.
