Get served: Presti's Bakery and Café

Setting

With high ceilings, minimal décor and an abundance of natural light pouring through its front windows, Presti’s lacks the interior ambience that many other spots in Little Italy boast. But because of its stripped-down functional design, it’s a great place to study and snack.

In balmy weather, Presti’s roadside bistro tables are the best place on the hill to people-watch as the chimes of Holy Rosary Church sail over sugary spoonfuls of gelato—bring your date and an extra spoon.
