    Another great North Syracuse bakery. Boyfriend and I stopped by Mario's Bakery last Saturday after buying a dozen delicious cannolis at Geddes Bakery down the street. That and the fact that we had dinner reservations less than an hour later didn't stop us from trying a cupcake at Mario's though! We browsed the pastries, and I made the executive decision and ordered a ricotta cupcake for $1.50. It was delicious--really dense, just the way I like my desserts. If I'm consuming a bunch of fat and calories I want to make it worthwhile, know what I mean? I'm not a light and airy cupcake kind of girl, so the heavy ricotta cupcake really did the trick. Cute little bakery with a variety of tempting offerings. During our visit there was a colorful festive display of Easter chocolates, stuffed animals, baskets, and other gifts near the front door. Mario has been baking for over 40 years, and, per the website, his products include the following: Almond Paste Cookies Assorted Italian Pastries such as Cannoli, Pasticciotti, and Sfogliatell Baklava Rugula Tiramisu Eclairs Macaroons Cookies such as Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, Fruit Bars, Molasses, Sugar, Cut-Outs, Half-Moon, and Brownies Assorted Doughnuts Fruit and Cream Pies Seasonal and Specialty All-Occasion Cakes I noticed a sign on a display case indicating that Mario's cookies are boxed and weighed and will run you $12.50/lb. The smaller butter cookies will set you back $11/lb. A few paper-thin-crust small pizza-like things also caught my eye. One had what I believe were tomatoes, and another seemed to be an egg-y breakfast version. Had every intention of returning to Mario's during our time in town to try one of the pizzas, but substantial food leftovers made a second trip unnecessary. Next time for sure!

    Bakery is dirty, I saw a bug on top of the glass which covers the cookies. The cookies were stale.

    This is very long 'review' but well worth your time to read before spending (or wasting) your hard-earned money. As saying goes, caveat emptor...Let the buyer beware! Another Yelper made comment... 'Make the stop, pick out a goodie and judge for yourself.' Well, I did and it was a big disappointment to say the least. Let me explain... * Last year I purchased sheet cake (with photo on it) for my parents' 65th anniversary since recommended by Borio's Restaurant. They did good job and cake with buttercream frosting (& photo) was good...it's hard to screw up basic sheet cake. Baked on that experience last year, I bought on this trip (from CA, but I grew up in this area) the following: sheet cake for birthday party, half-moon cookies, Biscotti and misc. cookies actually made onsite. * First the good before the bad news...cookies were okay but do agree with another Yelper's comments that the chocolate-covered cake balls along with a few other items were very dry and almost inedible...don't waste your money. Before * Biscotti - Way too soft and did not seem like they were 'twice-baked'. I bought a few of the plain and of chocolate dipped. When I told Mario in person (when I returned there for money back) that all were not 'crispy' and were too soft, he derogatorily said 'you gotta be kidding'. I love biscotti and have had it coast-to-coast and in Europe...this was some of the worst I have ever had. Not only soft (I could squish it between my thumb and fore finger) but also had a little too much almond flavoring. Just in case you're wondering, here's what internet states what biscotti should be...Definition per Wiki (The biscuits are oblong-shaped almond biscuits, made dry and crunchy through cutting the loaf of dough while still hot and fresh from baking in the oven.) and second definition per Merriam-Webster (A crisp cookie or biscuit of Italian origin that is flavored usually with anise and filberts or almonds). Crisp and crunchy included in above definitions and many others on various cooking websites, usually accomplished by baking them twice. Not complicated but apparently they can't or won't take the time to make them right. Don't mean to be "picky" but I work my ass off for my limited funds and only want what I paid for and the way it should be as done all over the world. * Half-moon COOKIES - I emphasize cookies since the dough used to make a good half-moon should really be more like a cookie than a cake but it was essentially cake. Plus they used a disgustingly thick layer of buttercream frosting on it...same frosting used on their cakes. I did side by side comparison since I happen to had part of sheet cake I had purchased for birthday on same day. Don't waste your money on these either. I've never had a half moon cookie stick to my fingers (underside was tacky like the muffin top that is damp) then fall apart in my hand after I take a few bites since the cake is not as strong as an cookie should be. Cookie is essentially a "squished cupcake" as I told Mario in person when I returned there for money back. Get a half-moon cookie from Geddes Bakery right down the street (across from NS Baptist Church) and compare to the 'squished cupcake' served up at Mario's. * At that point he proceeded to refund my money (or at least most of it) then told me he's been cooking for 42 years and knows how to make a half-moon cookie. Don't worry there Mario, I won't EVER set foot in there again and strongly suggest no one else does either. There are lots of other bakeries in the world (and in CNY area...you just need to keep searching) so to Mario and his bakery I say good riddance. * Given the fact I initially started our conversation by telling him I thought his cakes were very good, I am a bit surprised his reaction to a fairly new customer was so hard..."don't ever come back here again" was exactly what he said! * I was more than willing to continue buying cakes and selected cookies (that were half-way decent) going forward, but I guess his business must be large enough (or his ego even bigger!) that he did want ANY of my business...very bizarre and I think uncalled-for, but I will let YOU be the judge. As stated earlier, watch how you spend your hard-earned money and just 2 words more for you all in parting ...caveat emptor!

    Not the best Italian bakery that I've been to but nothing in the Syracuse area is really great. I will say that the cannoli may be one of the best that I've had. The old fashioned almond paste cookies are excellent too. The other items-sugar/butter cookies, pustie, donuts and chocolate cake with buttercream on top then covered in chocolate-all are definitely not worth the calories! They were all very dry. The old fashioned cookies are good enough that I will stop there for a few when driving by. So I don't want to say it is all bad, but it is just a few select items that I care for. But everything is a matter of taste and opinion.

    Last time was here, I haven't been back since... bought premade garlic cheese bread. Pulled it out to heat up when got home, covered in mold. Needless to say. Never again. However, i must say i never had any issues with baked goods. Fantastic upside down pineapple cake when it's available. 1/2 moons, cookies are good. Parking is tight, small lot. Small place.

    Mario's Italian Bakery. It must be a great place to get some cannoli. I just wanted a small sample of some of their more notable baked goods and I went in to Mario's with the intent to buy one cannoli. I would also save it for after dinner. So, I purchased two cannoli, one vanilla the other chocolate which were packaged nicely in a traditional style bakery box. I walked at least 25 feet to my car and opened the box to inspect the goods. Looks good! Take a picture, close it up and get back to my hotel. Once at the hotel, I knew the box was open and I just wanted one more peak. OK, maybe the peak turned into a bite and you can guess how long those "after dinner" cannolis lasted. First thing that was noticeable was that the cannoli shells were not crisp when I bit into them. Instead, I would state that they were soft, not soggy but did not meet my expectation of a freshly filled cannoli. The vanilla ricotta filling was rather non-descript. The chocolate cannoli shell also was soft but the filling was of a pudding like texture. It was quite surprising and really disappointing. I hate to base my entire review on two cannolis but, one only has one chance to make a good first impression. And that holds true for Italian bakeries.

    If you can find a danish better than Mario's I'd be shocked. So freaking delicious! We love them so much we bought 4 doz for the NICU nurses at Crouse Hospital. Keep up the delicious goodies Mario's!

    I ordered a cake 4 days in advance. They lost the order so I waited while they made a " Rum Cake ". It literally was just sponge cake with a little rum flavor sprinkled on it. The cannoli filling was so thin you could barely see it. I get home and they had put the wrong name on the cake after I was asked specifically what I wanted written. Never again ! No comparison to the italian bakeries we are used to.

    I have been a regular at Mario's Bakery for years. Yesterday I bought a 1/2 lb. of the rum balls. I had purchased them before and they were delicious. The ones I purchased yesterday were so hard and stale and old that they should not have been sold! I could hardly bite into them and thought I would break a tooth! They were dry dry dry. Discarded! I guess they leave their cookies in the case until they are sold. I was very disappointed as I paid almost $7 for a 1/2 pound. I will give them another try, but if I get stale baked goods again....I am gone!

    I stopped here often while of ginormous pregnant lady stature and was always greeted warmly and left with lots of outstanding goodies. The other reviewer gave the laundry list so I'll save that rundown. My favorites aside from half moons are any of the filled pastries with Italian names my auto correct keeps writing as "pasta huts". Yeah it Rhymes but not even close. Thanks iPad. Now that I'm not the walking hormone driven megabod that I was and I'm toting a few tots I don't stop as often but always make a trip for any special occasion. Luckily my clothes fit again despite these detours, and the nice family behind the counter even seems to still recognize me even with my smaller appetite. Make the stop, pick out a goodie and judge for yourself. Oh, and if you know what the bottom of a refrigerator taste like, I'm not so sure I'd let your pallet influence any of my decisions regarding food.

    One Star for having the lights on. Lousy, Stale and the pastaciotti tasted like a dirty refrigerator. I cannot believe you are still in business
