Vaccaro's is a dessert shop. It is old fashion shop too, and I seriously reccommend it to everyone. The Ice Cream sundae's/COLOSSEO are enormous, the Cappaccinos and cafe lattes are absolutely delicious. I also recommend the Tiramisu, and the peanut butter fantasy is an absolute fantasy (it is really good). If you are in Baltimore, you definitely have to try... more

We just ate dessert there tonight after eating dinner at a great restaurant in LIttle Italy. Wish we had eaten dessert first!! We had the tiramasu and the homemade pound cake sundae. The prices seem high until you see the portions...they are huge!!! We should have just ordered one dessert and split it. The pound cake sundae was to die... more

I went to college in Baltimore, so each time I go there I try to get to Vaccaro's. Love the cannoli and pignoli cookies. Their deserts are simply to die for! more

This place was packed! Lucking we arrived right when another table got up. There was only one waitress waiting on tables this night, it seemed like there should have been another, but they called in sick or something. Anyway, we waited a little while for our food, but my wifes nacho's canoli or whatever you call it was great. My... more

Vaccaro's is a Baltimore institution and delivers the goods. If you love chewy, flavorful cookies, there are few places that offer better ones. Their cannoli are nationally renowned (and those who love cannoli tell me that reputation is justified), and their idea of a large ice cream is something like 10 scoops of flavorful gelato with all the toppings. Vaccarro's... more

This is an absolute icon and you won't regret coming here...but with the richest, creamiest, sweetest treats of your life, you probably will regret ordering that third plate of cannolis. But it's so good, you won't be able to help yourself. The best deal on the menu is the Sampler which is $10 and includes enough goodies to put a... more

After our disastrous trip to Chipparelli's we went to Vaccaro's for dessert. The only thing I can say is that this place is wonderful. I got the tiramisu and my husband got the vanilla gelato. Our friends got the HUGE and yummy hot chocolate and a piece of peanut butter pie. Everything was great! more

After reading all the good reviews about this shop, I have decided to bring my whole family to this place. What a big mistake! The food was good and the coffee was averaged. However, the service was very slow and poor. The place looked very dirty and outdated. I am very sorry that I have to give a negative review... more
