On the fringe of the room, a bounty beckons: plump loaves of casareccio, sturdy ciabatta, cookies, muffins, cream truffles, brownies, eclairs and tiramisu, all made within the subsequent room. However save your self for a Gran Forno cannoli, among the finest to be discovered this facet of Mulberry Avenue.
