This place is not only good at what they do - they are a cultural institution and treasured landmark in the area. I was born here (in New Haven, that is - unfortunately my parents opted for Yale-New Haven Hosp instead of Lucibello's actual shop!) and I can't remember a single major achievement in my life that didn't include a trip here for Italian Cream Cake. First Holy Communion, High School graduation, College graduation, etc.). I live in California now but I make a point to head here first when I come to town (well, after saying hi to family!) - what else would anyone want you to bring when travelling around visiting? Its a hit every time! What a treasure this place is! By the way, you better call early for Christmas orders!! The cookies are as wonderful as the pastries and cakes.....Mangia!
