Pasticceria Monteleone BK — Restaurant in New York

The thing I loved when I entered this bakery was how it genuinely felt like an authentic Italian bakery. When I came in there was amazing aroma of all the baked goods. The smell of all those Italian cookies was amazing. When I saw everything in the display cases it was all beautifully presented. Everything looked amazing. Once again I always get overwhelmed when I see all the amazing baked treats that I don’t know what to get because I want everything. Lol! For my first visit I bought some fig and chocolate cookies. They were delicious! The staff were very nice to me. Overall this is a beautiful Italian bakery in a wonderful neighborhood. I would definitely come back again to try out more delicious...

I stopped in and picked up a few mousses and little cakes including what I was most excited for, a chocolate lava cake, and I have to say everything other than the chocolate lava cake was quite good!

The lava cake.. was another story... On my first few bites I was a little disappointed, it wasn't particularly good (dry and lacking flavor), but then all of a sudden crunch. The feeling of egg shell between my teeth. I fish it out of my mouth and figure okay, no big deal, it happens, then two bites later another... Then another, then I poke around and find several more bits of egg shell... I did not finish the lava cake :(

I put a picture of a few of the bits I found, there were many more in...
