Villa Italia

Villa Italia is an amazing bakery and makes the most delicious cakes! I had 3 types of cake for my wedding and they have unique fillings for cakes and if you have the reception at Mallozzi's you get a discount or even a cake with the package! Highly recommend this bakery!

We absolutely LOVED our wedding cake from Villa Italia bakery. Many of our guests have commented that it was the best wedding cake they've had in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed our planning meeting with Tricia at the bakery. We got to try all of the possible combinations, and when I didn't see what I wanted (almond mousse), they were able to accommodate. We chose their butter cream frosting which is delicious. I highly recommend Villa Italia!

Villa Italia designed a custom Dale Earnhardt Jr. cake for my wedding day. It wasn't important for me to have the tradtional cake, I wanted my cake to represent my husband. Villa did an excellent job and used my specifications perfectly. The cake looked amazing and the taste was even better.

Villa Italia goes out of their way to provide EXCELLENT service. We booked our cake tasting, got to try 3-4 different types of cake, another 5-7 different types of filling, and another 4-5 different types of frosting to attempt to make our perfect cake. 1 and a half hours, a couple of free coffees and lattes (and a whole free box of pastries) later, we had ourselves a cake. Not only was it delicious, but (being the biased bride I am) my cake was the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes upon. Villa Italia made me feel welcomed, at home, and fortunate to have their services for my wedding - AND, the cake was delicious :)

The cake was sooo yummy! We had four different flavors and they were each just as yummy as the last! I would highly recommend them for their price and their variety of flavors! There is something for everyone!

I had the most beautiful, delicious wedding cake imaginable, and it was all thanks to Villa Italia. I had a 5 tier baby blue cake with pink flowers, and white scrolling. It was simply stunning. It had buttercream frosting, and cannoli filling for the layers...yum! The grooms cake was a poker scene with 3D poker chips, Jack Daniels bottle, ashtray and cigar...it was amazing as well. Perfect cake for our perfect day! Villa Italia is simply the best.

Villa Italia definitely lived up to its expectations!!! Our cake was AMAZING – there were so many delicious flavors to choose from that we actually ended up picking 5 different cakes and did a desert buffet!!!

Not only was the flavor delicious, the price was very, very reasonable. The staff was great to work with and very accommodating!!!

Our cake was part of our wedding package, and we loved it. We had so much fun at the tasting for the cake! It was like a little tea party, and Trish was really helpful.

Our cake was elegant and delicious. Many of our guests hate wedding cake, but really enjoyed this one. Highly recommend the lemon/lemon frosting!

Villa Italia made both our Wedding and Groom's cakes. Both cakes were amazing, which should come as no surprise since they are the best bakery in the area!


Tricia, the manager, was a joy to work with. My husband and I had a blast at the cake tasting, and she was a wealth of ideas and suggestions to make our cake unique and satisfying for our guests. We decided on a 4 tier cake with 3 flavors: red velvet cake/cream cheese filling, chocolate cake/hazelnut filling, and rum cake/raspberry jam & vanilla mousse filling. We had a vanilla whip icing that was textured for a more vintage style. All of it was fabulous. The chocolate/hazelnut was a real crowd pleaser!


The Groom's Cake was perhaps even more noteworthy. Rather than having two cakes at our wedding, we chose to serve the groom's cake at our rehearsal dinner, which was held at The Brown Derby (same ownership as Villa Italia). Bobby Malozzi, head pastry chef, is an incredibly busy man but was fortunately able to fit in a meeting with me to go over a design that would blow my film director husband's mind (I am also camerawoman). The results were spectacular. I think our guests took more photos of the cake than anything else at our rehearsal dinner! You can find photos of our cake on the Villa Italia website. It was truly amazing to see my ideas become a reality, in a cake so beautiful you almost didn't want to cut in to it... but who can resist Villa Italia cake?! It was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting with fondant to finish. A work of art indeed.


Lastly, in addition to our groom's cake we served Villa Italia's pastries and petit fours at the rehearsal dinner. It was an over the top treat that delighted our guests! You just can't go wrong with this bakery. They are unequivocally the best.

DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL CAKES!! We bought a cake from them for my engagement party, shower and ceremony. They are amazing! The whole experience from the cake tasting to eating my slice at the ceremony was perfect. I would absolutely use them again!

Our cake was FANTASTIC! Loved every bite of it.

The cake not only looked perfect it tasted even better! Everything was exactly the way that we had ordered it. The cake tasting was so much fun and everyone there was so friendly and accomodating. The cookies and pasteries at the wedding were also a huge hit.

I had to thank Villa Italia for such a beautiful wedding cake. I was very unsure of the design I wanted and after several meetings I finally decided on one. I was very nervous about it but when I saw it I was in awe. I had a beautiful 5 tier, and 4 different cake flavors and each one was wonderful. I thank them for me so patient with me and making my dream cake.

I have no complaints about Villa Italia!
We were given as much time as needed for the cake testing, and the lady who helped us gave very valuable information as to what not to mix and what their top sellers were. If the cake you loved had pearls, you could save money but using frosting dots instead- Villa Italia understands the financial burden around wedding time! Everyone loved the cake and couldn't stop asking where we got it- It was delicious!

I loved my wedding cake. I really wanted a cake that not only looked good but tasted great. Thats what I like about Villa italia... not ur average wedding cake! I had alot of people compliment me on our wedding cake and how delicious it was. We had a 5 tier wedding cake alternating between chocolate and vanilla cake. The layers were vanilla mouse and rasberry mouse with rasberry jam in the vanilla cake and chocolate mouse with rasberry mouse and rasberry preserves in the chocolate cake!...... BEST CAKE EVER!!!!

Our cake was a three tier chocolate cake with cannoli filling and a whipped topping.

This was hands down the finest piece of cake I have ever enjoyed. Absolutely phenomenal. No words could truly do it justice....

Working with Villa Italia on our cake selection and design was not only yummy but such a pleasure! And when we requested a simple change to the design a few days prior to the wedding, we were given complete satisfaction! Thank you so much VI for making our cake and pastries for the additional viennese table so delicious! Our guests were raving!!

This vendor was part of our reception venue package. We did a tasting with 2 of our kids in tow. They thought it was fabulous that they could make their own little cakes up and try all the fillings/frostings. We tried to make our wedding casual and fun and the cake matched us perfectly. It was delicious and just what we wanted.

Loved loved loved my cake. It was included with my venue at the italian-american center in Albany, NY. I had a 4 tier cake where each layer was picked by my husband and I after our wonderful cake tasting. So many choices, such beautiful work. I have had custome designed cakes made there in the past and words cannot describe how impressive their cake art is. You will have to see for yourself!

great cake!

Villa Italiamakes the most detailed and stunning cakes I have ever seen.Hands down the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen.What a great job!

Villa Italia provided us with exactly the type of cake we wanted. It was delicious and beautiful. The cake tasting was a ton of fun and they provided us with many options and advice. The end result was a hit. We highly recommend Villa Italia for wedding or special event.

The cake was great! I had a bit of a complicated vision but it was exactly what I wanted, they were very flexible. During the tasting they gave us as much time as we needed and were very patient as we spent 10 minutes debating the base color for the different tiers of the cake. They consulted the cake decorators in the back for their expert advice, but let us make the ultimate decision. The end result actually strayed a little bit from the original design--there was detailing on a part of the cake that I hadn't asked for. But it totally completed the cake, and looked amazing! I liked that they did what they needed to in order to create a good product, rather than just doing what I told them and telling me that's what I asked for, that's what I got. It makes it seem more like an artistic creation than an order form. I'm not exactly sure how much it cost, it seemed like a lot, but it was fairly labor intensive and very custom. And the cake was DELICIOUS by the way, we had 3 tiers with different cake/filling combinations, and with the amount of cakes and fillings they offered us I imagine there are 100s if not 1,000s of possibilities. We also only ordered the cake 2 weeks before the event, which was just enough time for them! Overall a great experience!

My first experience with Villa Italia was my wedding cake. My wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! No reason to go anywhere else. Now we always get our birthday cakes here too!! Soooo good!!!

The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious everyone loved it! Rum cake with canoli and strawberry filling..Try it!

Villa Italia was wonderful in preparing our wedding cake. At our appointment they took the time to help us choose the perfect cake and they were friendly and understanding at how important a decision a cake can be!! When all was said and done, the cake was absolutely stunning and perfect, exactly what we had ordered and people were definitely impressed with the work done on it. They go above and beyond to serve and accommodate their customers and their cakes are just ridiculously delicious!!!

I would HIGHLY recommend Villa Italia. Our cake was not a traditional white wedding cake so I was a bit concerned as to how it would turn out. Although I am not a huge cake person so I wasn't really overly worried, it was lower on my priority list. When I first saw it cake at the reception I felt like it was truly a work of art. It was the most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen. And it tasted even better. My Italian aunt from Ohio who prides herself on her cooking and baking said that it was the most delicious cake that she had ever tasted. So much so that she and others had slices for breakfast the next morning : - ) The tasting process with Villa Italia was easy and fun and they were very accomodating based on our non-traditional wishes.

Would highly recommend!!! We didn't have a wedding cake, but had an assortment of pastries, which Cafe Italia delivered and they were fantastic!!!!

Our cake was wonderful! It was exactly as ordered, delivered on time, and tasted INCREDIBLE! Everyone at the wedding loved it.

FANTASTIC!

Cake was AMAZING!

The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious. Also, the staff was very accommodating of my special requests.

The cake was georgous! It turned out even better than I imagined. It was moist and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend this bakery.

we went with Villa Italia because they were one of the only local vendors who made carrot cakes for weddings. The cake was very tasty and looked beautiful. They even let me design my own cake-it just happened to be almost identical to one they had in the book.

Villa Italia is a fantastic bakery. I worked there for a few years when I was younger and can attest that the cakes, pastries, an cookies are always fresh and tasty. My wedding cake was perfect, not a touch of icing out of place. We did not want to cut into it because of how beautiful it looked. Fortunately, we did and enjoyed the taste just as much as sight of it.

We were very happy with our wedding cake. I gave them a picture from "The Knot" magazine of a cake done by Ron Ben Israel, and they matched it beautifully. Tricia was wonderful, she did our tasting and helped us with our design. The cake was absolutely delicious, I was very happy with Villa Italia!

We did a taste test, and we used their facebook page to find a cake that we liked. The staff was very responsive to our needs. The cake was great, and looked fantastic!

The only thing I wish was different is they had done a better job on my Dallas Cowboy's Grooms Cake. Overall we were very pleased with their work, and the flavors!

Definitely a hit among our guests!

The cake was great, exactly how we envisioned it after we did our cake tasting. The cake tasting was a great experience, and we got to choose exactly what we wanted for our cake. Villa Italia was great, and we recommend everyone get there cake there.

Villa italia did everything for me. Once we had a cake tasting, which was a great experience, all we had to do was tell them what we wanted. Next thing we knew we were cutting our first piece of cake...they made it that simple! The cake was beautiful and the best tasting cake I've had!

We were recommended to Villa Italia for our wedding cake through our venue, and I am so glad we used them. I had found a picture on a website of a wedding cake that I fell in love with, but wasn't sure if I would be able to get the same exact thing. I brought the picture with me to our cake testing, and was so surprised when they said it wouldn't be a problem for them to recreate this same cake for me. We were allowed as much time as we wanted during our testing, and were treated with such great hospitality. On the day of our wedding, our cake looked even more amazing then I had dreamed it would be. It was exactly what I wanted. Not to mention all of our friends and family raved about how great it tasted!

Villa Italia's fantastic service began at the initial tasting/ordering and continued until the end of my reception. We ordered a custom black forest cake, for our autumn wedding. Not only was it gorgeous, but it was by far the best tasting wedding cake any of our guests had ever had! The decorations were spot on and they even figured out a way to use my heavy cake topper! When we ate the top of the cake on our anniversary, it still tasted (and looked, minus the freezer burn) fantastic!

Villa Italia made me the most beautiful wedding cake that I have ever seen. They took my vision, and ideas and made it better than I could ever imagine. It is also great that they work with local vendors, and my cake was included in the price of my reception.

Our cake was not only delicious, it was absolutely beautiful. Villa Italia was super flexible and actually made every level of our cake a different flavor with different fillings.

Our wedding cake was extremely deliscious, not a single guest had anything to say other than praise. Everything was as we had ordered it, and the cost was good. The delivery was on time, with friendly service. Thank you for the wonderful cake.

My cake was awesome... It even tasted good a year later on our first anniversary. I would definately recommend everyone to go to Villa Italia for their wedding cake!!!

we chose Villa Italia because it was one of 2 places that our ceremony and reception venue worked with, we met with them and chose a caker that was floral with no topper on it and for our 1 year anniversary we would get a small cake for two being that we didn't have the top to save, So after our one year anniversary we realized that we didn't hear from them so we contacted them and were told that they no longer obide by that policy, we feel that we were cheated because at the time we booked them the policy was in effect and they should've held their end by providing us with a small cake, which was promised and that was not the case. When contacted about this the staff and owners were very unprofessional and didn't care about their customers satisfaction or feelings, We will never go to them again for any function and will never recommend them to anyone we know that is looking for this service

While in the past I had great experiences with Villa Italia, I was extreamly disppointed with my wedding cake. My husband and I attended a tasting to choose our cake and when I cut into the final product at my wedding reception, I found the cake was not what we had ordered. The following day when I called Villa Italia to express how upset and disappointed I was with their service, I did not have friendly service on the other end. After my honeymoon, I went into their bakery and met with the manager. I was calm, cool and collected, and he proceeded to be rude and make a scene infront of customers. He refused to refund me because I had cake at my wedding and to him it didn't matter that it was not what I had paid for. To me, any deviation from what I had ordered, was a breach of contract, but that didn't matter to him apparently. This was by far my worst experience ever in dealing with a manager and a vendor.

I ordered at three tier white cake from them. I dropped off a swatch of the bridesmaid's dresses to them about 4 months before the wedding. In our contract it said that the design on the cake would be purple to match the rest of the wedding. I also had to drop off flowers from the florist on the day of the wedding(which were purple). I did both these things and when I showed up at the reception, my cake was white with BLUE! accents. Now I had dropped off both a swatch and purple flowers that morning! After the honeymoon, I confronted the manager about this, and she told me that when it left it was purple. She then told me that the color must have faded in the sun! HAHAHAHA!!! what a bunch of crap. Then she gave me a $50 gift card for my "troubles". I was so pissed off! I argued with her for about an hour, but she refused to do anything for me. I paid so much for that cake and she insulted my intelligence by telling me some bogus story! I would not recommend them for that reason alone. I know people who have gotten cakes from here, and they turned out fine.
I will say that the cake itself tasted great, the flavor was just what I asked for. I know it is a small detail about the color, but it was the story that made me mad!

THE BEST!! You will not find a better bakery in New York or the USA for that matter!
