Amaretti cookies are in a league of their own.
I'm actually Italian on my mom's side. I became an Orthodox Jew a few years ago, and ate from all the best Italian bakeries in NY, Villabate, Alba's, etc. I missed the Italian cookies with jam in the middle, biscotti, Regina, Umberto biscuits, etc. Scotto's always represented this genre well, but I can't always get over there.
This brand was actually pretty good. And it's convenient for me. I got this 2 lb. tray for under 10 dollars and it went over well at a kiddush I sponsored on Saturday morning.
My all time fave Italian cookies are marzipan cookies.
