CITY SEARCH SAYS: The shiny black tables and chairs in this bare bones cafe are perpetually packed with teen couples, old paisanos from the 'hood and ice cream afficianados diving into some of the city's best housemade gelato. Flavors range from standards to hard-to-find Italian options, like tiramisu, hazelnut and zuppa inglese. Other temptations include spumoni, tortoni, cannoli, cookies (try the pinoli), tarts and fluffy white cakes to order.


Comments

only one owner got arrested.. the other two are still there... Im not surprised about the arrest though the guy was sweet but if he got mad boy oh boy ! 1000 leaves cake is the best best best...

The absolutely BEST Cannoli's and Cannoli cake there is anywhere... Number 1 no other place is better. And the customer service is EXCELLENT. Highly recommend A +++++

There is reason I go out of my way to eat here.

its all about the croissants. amazing.

the cannoli.......need i say more?

*best* cannoli in nyc.

From gellato's to the cheese cakes, mousse cake, tiramisu, cannolis, chocolate-strawberries....yumm...there's nothing like FORTUNATO

Their croissants are the best I have ever tasted. First thing in the a.m. if you're lucky they may still have some by 10 a.m.
oh, the Blueberry Napoleon only on the weekends - a delicacy. Actually everything there is outrageous.

the best bakery in brooklyn.truly the best hands down.

It's simply not a party if ya ain't got FORTUNADO....
The Rest Are Imitation....
Robin from Staten Island...

Best espresso, great frozen cappucino in the summer!

The gelato here is unbelievable and not overpriced.

Desserts are pretty good here. Although the cannolis are not completely authentic: a true Italian bakery would fill them when ordered. They could also use some more chocolate chips in the sweet riccota. The owner was part of the the Genovese crime family and was indicted for murder a while back, so that's always fun.

Fortunato Brothers Bakery is the best!!!! The chocolate dipped strawberries are to die for.... The treats melt in your mouth...

i made a sprint through the neighborhood on my last night in NY to catch this place before they closed. everything looked amazing, but I am only one girl, so I chose 3 items. de-freakin'-licious. all of it. i only regret i didn't go sooner so I could try 3 per night.. i shall have these goods delivered to me in Nashville...I shall!!!

THE BEST EVERYTHING. This is the way a classic Italian bakery used to be and everything else should aspire to be. Incredible lobster claws and cannolies, you should do yourself a favor and go out of your way to try this place...

i LOVE fortunato brothers. the pastries are to die for and the staff is just pure greatnes!!!!
I love the way it looks inside and the big window where you can sit and have a delicious pastry and a cup of coffe is WONDERFULL!!!!!
