Circo’s Pastry Shop

Description

Founded in 1945, Circo’s is an old-time Italian bakeshop, and its menu—filled with cannoli, rainbow cookies, tiramisu and flavored ices—make it a blast from the neighborhood’s past. Custom cakes can also be ordered from Nino Pierdipino (who was an employee at the shop in the ’60s) and his two sons, who now own and run the bakery together.
