Modern Pastry Shop is a world-renown, family-owned and operated, Italian bakery located on Hanover Street in Boston’s iconic North End. The third generation of the Picariello family maintains old-world tradition and recipes that have stayed the same for generations going back to Italy. These traditions are always held to the highest standard. Customers can find a warm and inviting cafe area surrounded by imported Italian display cases and hard to find Italian goodies. Tourists can truly immerse themselves in the culture of the north end by just sitting to have an espresso and see the locals and regulars. In addition to their famous cannoli and Italian pastry, Modern Pastry also offers Italian candy, decadent chocolates, fresh cookies, and elegant cakes. A cannoli or lobster tail is a must-try as the recipes have stood unchanged since the inception of Modern Pastry Shop in 1930.
