"In the East Village, there’s the historic Veniero’s Pastry, where the creamy New York cheesecake is sold as various rounds; while there, try a slice of the delicious Italian ricotta cheesecake too, a lighter style that we sometimes prefer."

Russell Jackson

"Every New Yorker has “their” cheesecake place. Even before becoming a New Yorker, Veniero's was that for me. Frankly, it's just the best cheesecake—NY cheesecake—plain and simple."

Christina Izzo

"Since 1894, this East Village Italian bakery has been doling out biscotti, pastries, cannoli and, yes, deliciously creamy deep-dish cheesecake, enrichened with fresh ricotta and whole eggs."

Hester Van den Berg

"I can surely recommend this place to you if you’re a cheesecake fanatic like I am. The filling was velvety smooth, creamy, sweet and thick. Just perfect, try it yourself!"

Katherine Ripley

"Their Sicilian cheesecake is perfectly crumbly and mild. If you prefer New York style, you can still get a great slice here."

"The cheesecake is perfectly creamy, fluffy and melts in your mouth. A great place to enjoy your slice of cheesecake along with a great cup of cappuccino."

Jerry Del Priore

"With Veniero’s, you don’t have to choose between snacking on the Italian or American version of cheesecakes: the east side bakery does both, and oh-so well."
