Veniero's is a historic Italian-American pasticceria in the East Village, family-owned since 1894 and known for cannoli, pastries, and espresso served in an old-world dining room. Its long-running reputation with locals and tourists alike makes the takeout counter a regular draw, and reviewers describe a steady line at the register during busy stretches.
Reviewers mention a ticket/number system at the entrance for the takeout line, so pulling a number is reportedly the move rather than just queuing loosely, and some note that heading to the back for table service can be a way around the counter crush. Reported hours run roughly 8am to 10pm daily, with weekend afternoons and evenings called out as the busiest times and weekday mornings described as calmer.
