    Cookie Fun!

    "Only the Finest" surely lives up to its name! Our guests raved about the Italian Cookie table at our wedding. All guests enjoyed the variety of cookies and the beautiful display that Maria and her staff put together. We would highly recommend Only the Finest for their awesome Italian Cookies and Espresso Bar!!

    Wedding Cookies for small April Wedding

    I contacted the owner of Only the Finest Italian Cookies and she responded within 24 hours. I asked for trays of assorted cookies with bows/wandies. I was so pleased I ordered with this company. The cookies were delicious and very pretty. All cookies were taken home by the wedding guests and many called or texted after saying how much the cookies were enjoyed. The cookies were delivered to the venue the morning of my wedding. I am very pleased with this cookie bakery and highly recommend Only the Finest Italian Cookies.

    Absolutely the Finest!!

    Maria is great! Quick response time from the first inquiry. Very professional and just a pleasure to work with. She will give you exactly what you’re looking for. She has dietary options such as gluten free. She is the one who is there at your event making sure everything is perfect.

    The most important thing is everything she makes is delicious! We contacted her because we heard of her fresh cannoli bar. We also ordered cookies and wandies (crisp Italian pastry covered in powdered sugar). Everyone who tried anything raved about how good everything was!

    If you want a delicious dessert for any event contact Only The Finest Italian cookies!

    Only the Finest

    I can't say enough about this vendor. My experience with Maria was flawless from my first email to her, right through to the end of the evening of my daughter's wedding. Her display and quality and selection of cookies was beyond my expectations. Everyone at the wedding was so impressed and could not say enough about how delicious and unique this was. If you're considering hiring Maria for your event, don't think about it, just contact her you will not be sorry.

    Only the Finest Is a Must!

    Maria was seriously one of our favorite vendors of our wedding! We did not do the full cookie display, but opted for her DIY cannoli station. From the planning process, helping us figure out the right quantity, to the execution, she was a hit the entire night! Her station seriously was never empty. She let us get in on the fun and fill a few cannoli as well, which made for adorable video content. Seriously could not recommend her more if you're looking for a unique dessert option to add to your event.

    Perfection!

    When I was planning my wedding, I really wanted to have a unique dessert that would be easy and fun for guests to enjoy. I also wanted a picture-perfect display that would look inviting and classy. Most of all, I needed the Italian cookies to impress my new in-laws, who hail straight from Italy. Only the Finest exceeded all of my expectations as a bride. There were so many cookies, everyone went back to their seats with full plates and were able to help themselves to seconds and thirds (or more!) throughout the reception, and there was still plenty left over for guests to take home. Not only were the cookies delicious, but Maria was supportive and communicative throughout the whole process. She communicated with the venue to make sure everything could be accommodated for the display. Everything looked cohesive and beautiful, and she even matched the display to my wedding flowers. I fully trusted Maria because I could tell she really cared. She saved a box of cookies for my husband and I before anyone else had access to the cookie table, and she wrapped up all of the extras into take-home baggies for the guests. The cookie display was a highlight that stuck with all of our guests; people are still telling me how much they loved it! I would 100% recommend Only the Finest for any wedding.

    Bellissimo!

    Thrilled newlywed here! Wow. I cannot give enough praise to Maria and Only The Finest Italian Cookies.

    Throughout the entire planning process Maria was kind, friendly, and thorough. We knew we hit the jackpot choosing these cookies as the dessert at our June 2023 wedding.

    We opted out of a wedding cake and decided our families and friends would love the delicious and authentic cookies Maria offers.

    I'm not joking whenever I glanced at the cookie table at our reception, the line was packed. The cookies were gone in a flash, but Maria kept them fully stocked.

    Our guests raved about the cookies and we couldn't have been happier!

    Oh and I cannot forget about the boxes Maria made for us! We enjoyed them on our honeymoon!

    I highly recommend this vendor and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!!

    I will post pictures once I have them back from the photographer!!

    Who needs cake when there's Italian cookies?

    I cannot say enough good things about Maria and her team. She is so easy to work with, and the cookies are delicious! We knew the traditional wedding cake wasn't what we wanted for dessert, and the cookies did not disappoint. We had the espresso as well, which everyone loved! We will definitely be ordering from Maria in the future for other big events!

    Highly recommend!

    My husband and I were married in Newport in May 2021 at Ocean Cliff. Maria was amazing to work with. She was quick to respond and provided plenty of options for us to choose from for our reception. Our guests raved about the cannoli bar and Italian cookie platters. It was a delicious treat that made our wedding even more special. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone in the area!

    Delicious Italian Desserts

    Maria of Only the Finest Italian Cookies & Espresso did a wonderful job providing the cookies, cannoli's, espresso, cappuccino and cold brew for our daughter's wedding in R.I. We are a big Italian family from CT and while we have some wonderful Italian bakeries in CT, we were struggling to find a place in R.I. who could provide us with what we were looking for. We happened to find Maria and we were so pleased with what her company was able to do. Her communication was great even during extremely difficult times of COVID. The wedding was on and off again a number of times and when we finally settled on the event happening despite many changes in set-up to keep people safe, Maria and her staff worked wonderfully with the catering staff to ensure everything was perfect. Everything was delicious and we had many guests thrilled with the ability to bring cookies and treats home. The most important thing was the bride was very happy with her cold brew and the groom loved the cannoli's!

    Italian cookie display

    Maria does such an amazing job with her Italian cookie displays! She first did my engagement party in October 2018, and after all the amazing reviews from family and friends I knew I had to have a cookie display at our wedding as well! Her cookies were such a hit with our wedding guests - I even ordered cookies as a Christmas gift for a family member! The cookie display at our wedding in October at the Rosecliff mansion really elevated our dessert room and was the perfect addition to our dessert display. I didn’t have to worry about a thing - Maria did a beautiful job setting up and even making a special box with all of my specific favorite cookies! You can never go wrong with Italian cookies, especially at an Italian wedding :-)

    If you want real Italian cookies, this is your vendor! The cookies are amazing and their set up at your wedding is classy and elegant. They set everything up and clean up, which they are very fast and efficient. Everyone at my wedding was talking about how great the cookies were. I added the expresso, which was a great touch. I am so glad I could have real authentic Italian cookies at a great price. Maria is a sweetheart and makes sure everything is to your standard. Highly recommend!!!!

    Amazing Espresso and Authentic Italian Cookies!

    I cannot say enough great things about Only The Finest Italian Cookies & Espresso. My husband and I got married in August of 2017 and the espresso service and Italian cookie display were amazing!! My husband and I wanted to provide our guests with a little something extra at our wedding. Maria was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Our guests are still raving about the espresso and Italian cookies over a year after our wedding! Don’t look any further, book Only The Finest!

    I met Ana Louise at a bridal show a few weeks after I had gotten engaged. I had yet to set a wedding date or visit a single venue, but upon tasting Ana Louise's delicious cookies I knew I had to book Only the Finest Italian Cookies.

    Following the setting of a date and booking a venue I emailed Ana Louise to ask if she was available on my wedding day. She quickly responded and gave me a quote, but mentioned we could work together to find a price that fit with my budget. A few days later Only the Finest was booked. I was extremely happy with the price and could tell that Only the Finest would be fantastic to work with.

    A few months before my wedding (before the craze of meeting with vendors to finalize details so her timing was appreciated) Maria, Ana Louise's daughter, reached out to confirm details and to send some information for me to fill out. Maria's attention to detail was incredible. She confirmed wedding colors with me (so she could make sure her colors complimented mine) and even fulfilled my request of putting personalized stickers on the cookie bags (the bags guests filled with cookies). Again, I felt confident in my choice of booking Only the Finest.

    On my wedding day the large cookie display looked beautiful! I also appreciated how the cookies were organized in a way that looked neat and orderly, and the cookies were continuously replenished so the table never looked empty.The cookies were a HUGE hit! In fact, my wedding was two weeks ago and the cookies are still the most talked about detail! My fiancé's family is Italian and they keep saying the cookies are some of the best they've ever had.

    If you are thinking about booking Only the Finest, you must! I say with the utmost confidence that that this will be one of the best wedding decisions you make. You and your guests will love it!

    Ana Louise is a gem. Her business Only The Finest Italian Cookies is a treasure. If you want quality and quantity look no further.
    My grandson's Christening was celebrated this past weekend. On our dessert table were Wandis & Italian Cookies from Only The Finest.
    The Wandis were light, delicate, delicious, crispy creations beautifully displayed on a tray with coordinating ribbon! The Italian Cookie tray had a variety of all the freshness and deliciousness cookies should be. Please note that the cookies Ana makes are each made from their own dough with their own flavor. Definitely not one dough (that many places use) decorated differently. Only The Finest Cookies have their own distinct taste, beautifully decorated and just the right size.
    Our guests just oohed and aahed over the cookies & Wandis! If you are looking for quality and quantity to satisfy your guests and yourself, Ana Louise and her Only The Finest Italian Cookies is a treasure worth doing business with. I had her cookies at different functions previously so I knew I would not have to shop around and I know I will be ordering from her again!

    Having Ana Louise from Only the finest Italian Cookies was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I recently got married on April 2nd and we chose to have Ana Louise as a treat for us and our guests. Everything from her espresso, cappuccinos, cookies and even the presentation were amazing. Ana Louise even went out of her way to coordinate the cookies and her table presentation to our color scheme. As soon as the cookie and barista station opened there was a line the whole night. Also our venue and Ana planned everything together so it took the stress off us to plan for the Italian Cookies. Ana is a sweetheart and I'm so glad we had her at our wedding. Thank you again for everything .

    Ana Louise's cookies and wandies are exceptional. Working with her was simply wonderful. She made 72 trays for our large wedding- one tray of cookies and one tray of wandies for every table, each tied with a beautiful bow. The trays themselves were decorative pieces! She baked such a variety of Italian cookies so there was something for everyone - they were absolutely delicious. Truly the best Italian cookies and wandies I have ever had. We could tell how much care and love went into each tray! Thank you Ana Louise!

    We recently held a celebration for our daughter's Christening at the Dorrance. There were about 100 guests and Ana Louise's cookie display and espresso service stole the show. Not only is it the most elegant cookie display you will find, the quality of the cookies are second to none. It is very hard to find high quality traditional Italian cookies and these are the best my family has had. Ana Louise showed up with a ton of variety and each cookie better than the next. Everyone enjoyed espresso and coffee drinks before, during and after dinner and couldn't get enough of hanging around her display. When she noticed there were 15 children running around while the adults were still eating she decided to make hot chocolate for all of them! As a result Ana Louise will be doing my cousin's wedding and will be a staple at any function I do in the future. Simply the best isn't enough to describe--- her cookies, service and attitude is World Class.
