Let's just say it's worth the trip. I enjoyed the moment and got the biscotti and coffee. Being here reminded me so much of home in Philly. The Italian bakeries. I miss home and I felt a little piece of me was there by eating here. Thank you for being you. The girl behind the counter was nice and helpful with choices. The ladies there spoke Italian and it was music to my ears... it's a cute place tucked into the shopping center .. I'm glad I went and I will be back..

Delicious Italian cookies and cakes! The cookies are sold by weight so i highly recommend you grab a few different kinds to try. The cakes are very moist and not too sweet. Overall service is fine. The few times I've been there no one was smiling or giving suggestions on things to try. They're not overly hospitable but they're certainly not rude. Ambiance is a bit lacking. Best to just grab and go or possible sit outside and eat if it's a warm day. The inside has a handful of tables, but no WiFi and not really a sit and stay vibe. Things to try: Black Forest cake, any of the biscotti and the amaretti. Honestly nothing is bad here.

Such yummy and delicious treats! There was a crowd in the shop on a Sunday afternoon. There are a few tables but this is largely take away. The staff is friendly and the meringues were out of this world. I will be back!

Dianna's is the BEST ever. The almond torte is to die for and my family has it for every holiday. The cherry cookies are also my favorite cookies ever. It's a small bakery but they have lots of parking in the lot. I can't recommend it enough!

I love this place! Stopped by to pick up a treat for a friend of course had to pick up one for us! Got her the Strawberry tart and a cannoli and us the Chocolate strawberry cake! There was not much left as it was 4:30 but man was it good! It was too good and I forgot a photo before I ate it!
