Everything about Mozzicato DePasquale Bakery & Pastry Shopis perfect.
1. They make the best cannoli ever to cross your lips, and never, ever pre-fill them so the shell is always crispy crunchy.
2. The cafe next to the pastry shop is one of the coolest spots in Hartford. When it’s super busy, it’s filled with a really diverse mix of people of all ages, speaking different languages. It’s amazing.  When it’s slow, it’s your own personal oasis.
3. The cafe has a full bar, so you can get a little sumpin’ sumpin’ with your caffiene and sweets.
