Villa Italia
This is a really great Italian Bakery/Cafe in Schenectady. I visited both for a snack and for lunch. They have amazing baked goods, and for lunch, I enjoy the chicken parmesan sandwich. On top of the food being really good, there is a great atmosphere. The bakery is especially convenient to the Proctor's Theatre, so stop and have some gelato prior to a show!

Villa Italia Pasticceria is known for serving the Capital Region's best Italian Pastries, Panini's, and Specialty Cakes!
Services
Vanilla sponge cake moistened with a rum/sugar syrup, with one layer of chocolate custard, and one layer of vanilla custard surrounded by toasted sliced almonds. Vanilla sponge cake moistened with a rum/sugar syrup, filled with two layers of our ricotta cheese filling, just like our famous cannoli's.

I'm sharing the same review I left on Yelp.
It pains me to write a poor review - this is a famous local bakery and they really do have delicious baked goods.
This review is late.
I got married in July of 2021 and went to Villa Italia after wedding cake plans fell through with another local bakery (similar e-mail issues as with Villa Italia - see below).
Time was beginning to run out but I was told that I only needed to place an order a couple weeks in advance - great!
I got a taste box, everything was good.
My husband and I ordered our cake through e-mail. Again - everything was confirmed

Villa Italia is one of my favorite dessert shop for local goodies when I'm in the mood. I always get the rainbow cookies, there's just something about it that's devine and decadent. The tiramisu and red velvet cupcakes are pretty yummy too. They have amazing gelato cakes too. Check them out for custom cakes and If you're having a sweet tooth! Enjoy!

Forget that they are the best bakery around.. its Xmas eve day....the place is crazy ,lines out the door but- they are fully staffed and they are all dressed professionally, courteous and pleasant amid the organized chaos. Nothing but the highest praise to everyone behind that counter. Truly admirable.

Hire Villa Italia! My wife and I got their Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for our wedding and it was delicious. Everyone at the wedding also loved it. Their designs on the website are true to what they produce. Great bakery.
Overall, we were very happy with Villa Italia.
Recommendation: This may go without saying but do the taste testing because we tried the red velvet cake from another (highly recommended) place and my wife and I could taste food coloring.

The best tasting quality cakes I have ever ordered besides my 1 private cake maker Grace Flagg in Averill Park. These cakes are creamy and moist.Best flavor I have ever tasted. Villa Italia makes your cake the same day within 1 to 2 hours which is so convenient when you have an emergency. The cookies 🍪 & pastries are phenomenal with such a wide variety of types and fancy ones.

The pastries are absolutely amazing! The carrot cake was moist and fluffy. Highly recommend the cannoli and cookies!

I haven't been here in ages and was worried, like most else, that this place would suffer due to the pandemic.
I couldn't have been pleased to be MORE wrong.
The treats are STILL delectable. The facility is STILL immaculate, but most of all? The staff is SO NICE and treats you like you really are a valued customer.
I don't go out a lot as a general rule, but if you're an extrovert or you just love good pastry, you can't go wrong by stopping in here! It's lovely both inside and out.
5 stars. A+. THIS is how it's done!

The pastries there are out of this world. Just so y'all can see what l'm talking about, check-out the pics I've posted along with this review. The pastries are artistically designed the cakes are awesome, not only are they delicious, but they are so artistically crafted that they can easily be placed in any confectioners museum and it feels as if it would be a mortal sin to just have a knife near any of these cakes, let alone slice into one of 'em - wink-wink... The coffee there is also great, with a wide variety and an assorted selection of blends. Any caffeine lover would feel at home here. There
