127-Year-Old Italian Bakery Makes The Best Struffoli In NYC | Legendary Eats
Ferrara, a 127-year-old bakery, is a Little Italy destination and one of the last surviving pastry shops in the neighborhood. It’s famous for pastries such as cannoli, tri-color cookies, and tiramisu. But around November and December, its most coveted dessert turns to struffoli, a Neapolitan holiday dessert. Insider’s Taryn Varricchio headed to Ferrara to learn why customers choose this shop’s struffoli over other Italian pastry shops in the city.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing 100 year old restaurants and bakeries still thriving to this day. It's like a piece of history still living with us to see. 😀

Lol I never judge food based on appearance. I mean.. If it still looks edible, then it's okay with me. Chickpeas with sugar syrup? It's okay for me. But I need to eat that first to judge the taste. Another example of weird thing is.. instant fried noodle with condensed milk. It seems weird, right? But it turn out to be good when I eat it.

my uncle franco gave his soul to that place, he worked for a long time and until his last day of life. he imported all the Italian traditions and recipes, including that of strufoli, so I'm sorry not to see even a photo of him in this video. for me ferrara backery is and always will be FRANCO AMATI❤️

Been making struffoli with my grandma since 2012, our own holiday tradition. Going to be making some in 2 weeks just in time for Christmas eve and christmas :)
Sometimes I forget that some people aren’t Italian and don’t know what struffoli is lol. One of my favorites
I live in NY and never heard of this place. I definitely will check it out

Montilione here ! Grand parents from Palermo Sicily ! I remember as a child my grandmother would make STRUFFOLI and all of the tasty Italian cookies for Christmas and Easter ! How I miss my Nana ! ( and her struffoli )❤️
Amazing videos..👌👌
Ferrara's is the most delicious and a NY staple. Love this video. Makes me homesick.
It is great to know that the old school bakery is still around, so many others have closed up👍😔
Struffoliiiii! Yes baby that’s so Italian 😍 Love them from a Italo srilankan girl! Great video you guys! Much love from Italy!

I like stories like this one. They make me happy.
I definitely need to go there this weekend !!
Every time I go to NYC I hand carry about a dozen cannoli from Ferraro’s. I live in Las Vegas and my kids love it
Mabe I will Get there one day >>>!!! 🤣🤣
Unique menu! It's amazing that 127 years!!!
I love you guys.
Yes! Buon Natale!!
Ferrara's is the BEST, can't wait to go back 😌🥰
Ive got here because of KZread recommending me this video.
Cannoli and Struffoli are my two favourites. My mama used to make them alot when I was a child.
Sfogiatelle!!! My favorite
If I ever get back to NYC, I will be visiting this location, even if I have to walk there from wherever I end up staying. The food isn't suitable for my dietary needs, but screw it, I'll have a one-off treat anyway. This place must be good to have kept going for so many years. Incredible!
I worked at Elena’s in Oneonta (“Upstate”) and I remember being taught how to pipe the little balls and she baked hers also. I don’t love super sweet things so these honey buttery balls of love stayed in my heart. ❤❤❤❤
They need this at the little dessert shop.🥂🍺🍻🍰😀🎂at snowhill station.
Looks yummy
It's sweet and delicious. I will be happy if I take a bite..😋
I've never had them baked. Pretty sure I should not try giving this version to dad, but I'd like to try it.
Yummmmm I want to eat some 😋😋 Maybe I’ll get to eat there one day 😄😄
I love to see tradition carried on and the passing on of recipes, that being said literally the word "Stuffoli" (struffolo singilar) refers to 'little pieces of FRIED dough...' in other words boys and girls if it isn't fried it isn't struffoli... "A" for effort however but these things are 'Sfoglia' or actually 'Sfoglicci', tiny puffed pastry translated...
looking forward to 127 more years .

Struffoli are typical of Naples area, there are similar things in other southern italy regions but called in different ways.
This reminds me of the the movie Fatso with Dom Deluise. Worth the watch.

I always wondered what they taste like and today I got to try it, ugh, so bland. It’s like eating bland bread with honey. Did not enjoy it, however, other items I did like. Maybe I should try the fried version??
I am from India it's looking delicious I wish can be take a bite
I lived in Italy all my life, but I’ve never heard of Struffoli
As neapolitan Ferrara is an institution. I don' t live in NYC bu for many neapolitans in Naples...is history.
Im hungry
I still eat Gingerbread man souls.
As a baker for over 30 years I can tell you that isn't puff pastry, it is choux paste.
2:05 IS THAT KAIMATI
Are those mini eggs ontop ?

I thought it was corn in the thumbnail
I literally thought they were making desserts out of chickpeas... I know chickpea water (aquafaba) can be used for desserts, so I was intrigued lol
Yummmm i wish Australia had bakeries like this 😩
I thought it said “12 year old boy make the best stuffed ravioli”...
Do I need to make a reservation ?
its not like they have mutch going with outside eating by the street in NYC right ? like in europe
anyone else initially thought the puff pastry bits were macadamia nuts?😂
I wish they showed a better view of the shop from the outside for more than a split second. I go to NYC from time to time and wanted to be able to spot it on sight. I know I can map it on my phone... but come on, if you're gonna talk it up.
This made me sad I was born and raised in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and our little Italys are dying across all NYC our younger generations are forgetting their culture
I wonder how they are during COVID
I taught was chickpeas in a sryrp.
kingpin retired and decided to be a chef

Most Italian business moved due to expansions of the neighborhoods around Little Italy, namely, Tribeca and SoHo - which are known for their wealth. Staten Island and Queens have bigger Italian neighborhoods but they're not the "one".
Tri Color cookie or a rainbow cookie. Isn't the host from NY?
Fiera di essere italiana
Still open?😳
The fire story that resulted in 2 hours of lost business was a bit pathetic. That said, I hope they survived Covid as the bakery looks so cool 😋😋
Eh ma senza offesa so vreccill' non so' struffoli 🤣
I feel so dumb.... I thought they were chickpeas from the thumbnail 🤦🏻♀️
Looks like chic peas
It’s just like lgemat in Saudi Arabia
Boilbags and t.v. dinners over tst mashed potatos
So they make around 1.5 million dollars on struffoli alone during the holiday period
I thought it was chick peas at first
It's pronounced "ess - presso" not "EX-spresso" My god, you'd think a "food vlogger" would know that. Good thing the Italians there didn't hear you say that ahaha
