A Family Tradition
Our Story
Since 1952
Antonio Alati founded Pasticceria Alati in 1952 in Montreal’s Little Italy, bringing authentic Italian pastry traditions to Canada. In 1988, his daughter Giuseppina carried on the family legacy, opening our current location on Jean-Talon Est in St-Léonard. Today, with her husband Henri Padulo, we continue crafting the same beloved recipes that have made us a Montreal landmark. People travel from across Eastern Canada for a taste of our famous cannoli.
