Maria's Pastry Shop - CLOSED (CLOSED)

This old-time, family-run North End bakery is often overlooked by tourists heading to the more popular spots nearby, but Maria’s makes some of the best cannoli around. Other fresh-baked Italian treats include baba rum cakes, sfogliatella, torrone, and marzipan. Holidays are big at this bakery, as Maria’s has a specialty for all of them, including Thanksgiving pies, Christmas panettone, Ash Wednesday pignole, and All Souls Day Ossa di Morti.
