Conca D'Oro in Union, by far. Not a huge selection but what they have is excellent. Its in Union Center..not far from Lutz's Pork Store and Van Gogh's Ear. Last time I was there, ran into a successful Maplewood restanteur who also buys his Italian baked goods there. |

I'd like to reccommend Bovella's in Westfield instead. Outside of Hoboken or NYC, I really think they're the most authentic pastries around. I've been eating pastries from Bovella's since I was a child, and my Italian-born parents love them too. |

I can recommen either Gencarelli's Bakery on Broad Street in Bloomfield or The Lyndhurst Pastry Shop in Lyndhurst. Both are excellent Italian Bakeries. |

Natales in Summit or Bovellos in Westfield. We went to Conca D'oro for years but the lines are ridiculous sometimes. |

I second Conca D'Oro for local...if you order in advance for holidays they usually have a special line for that. The long lines should tell you something!!
If you are willing to travel...Gencarelli's is it!!!!
(at least for my Italian born family) |
