This bakery is the bar to which all other bakeries must measure up to (and rarely do). The hot lunches are good (especially the chicken chips) but you have to try the pasties. The cannolis in particular are a must (although you have to get in early otherwise they all get snapped up, especially on the weekend) and their standard gateaux are still the best cakes I've had - lovely and light with beautiful custard (and you have to try the liqueur version). Absolutely the best bakery I have ever been to.
Approximate cost: $15
Both Bertoldo's shops are incredible, gastronomically delightful places to visit for lunch or just a snack. Authentic Italian pastries, sandwiches, coffees, gelato, pastas and fried foods make for a heady aroma! Lunchtime is extremely busy in both shops but well worth the wait!
Basically if you go to or pass through Griffith, give your taste buds a treat they won't soon forget, stop at Baltardo's & try an apple slice or turnover, a pie, sausage roll or pastie, it basically dose not matter anything you taste will be great.
