The Goods: Snag some of its famous cannoli, biscotti and Italian wedding cookies.
The Must-Have: Opt for the Sicilian cassata cake ($30 and up), a sponge cake that has been soaked in rum and filled with sweet ricotta cheese, chocolate chips, maraschino cherries and toasted pine nuts. “It’s a classic cake that tastes like heaven in your mouth,” Corbo says.
