I did a sfogliatelle taste test of a handful of the top recommended bakeries around. I'm sure the results don't directly transfer to cookies, but to us DeLouise in Cranston was the clear #1 and has been our go-to for everything now and it's always good.

Then in descending order from there:

• Solitro's

• Scialo Brothers

• LaSalle

• D. Palmieri's

• (clear loser) The Original Italian Bakery
