What people say, in short
Fortunato Brothers is repeatedly recommended for Italian baked goods in Williamsburg.

A contrasting visitor finds the pre-filled cannoli softer than preferred. Another fan still ranks a Bushwick competitor slightly higher, so the praise is not a unanimous claim of superiority.
