Freshly-filled cannoli, mouth-watering Danish rings, and crispy sfogliatelle filled with semolina and ricotta. At the newly-opened Santina’s Italian Pastry by Nino at the Village at Newtown South, bakery cases are brimming with Italian pastry favorites, all handmade right at the store and fresh from the oven.

The store is owned by Dana DiLisa, who is running the business end of the operation while her dad, Nino, works his pastry magic in the kitchen, creating batch after batch of Italian goodness. The shop is a family-owned operation with her mother, Jane Mondello, also helping in the kitchen. Plus the store is named after Dana’s daughter.
