To many in the North End, Maria’s is the home of some of the best, authentic, and the most thoroughly delicious Italian pastries in all of Boston.  They look delectable, smell divine and taste fabulous.  At Easter, Maria’s is a “must” destination. So, the next time you’re in the North End, try a few of these favored treats.

And if all these beautiful and delicious lambs weren’t enough to tempt your senses, then be sure to try the imported items from Italy.  The Chocolate Eggs are Milk or Dark and the Columba comes in the traditional lemon, orange and chocolate.

Still not done tantalizing your senses?  Then try Maria’s home-made Colomba and her Easter Pies.

Colomba—The Easter Dove is as beautiful as it is delicious. Similar to the Christmas panettone, this dove shaped sweet cake is ideal for either breakfast or dessert. Topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar with a soft bready inside containing candied fruit, you’ll know it’s the holidays.

Other Easter Favorites are Pizza Chiena, or Wheat or Rice Pies an old Italian tradition has made its place in the most American environments. A traditional ricotta pie mixed with either rice or wheat is typical for an Easter dinner.

So this Easter, enjoy your Holiday … from our family to yours.
