The bread is baked to perfection. I travel down to New a Haven on my days off, buy a variety of bread, take it back to New Hampshire and give it to people up here and even they love it. The owners take great pride in their business. You hear all the sounds and bells and whistles in the background. It's the sound of baking with Italian love and pride!!!

Been going there since the 80's. It is what it is..meaning they don't try to be appealing visually..they are serious bread bakers. Somehow they even managed to survive all the Yale take overs around them. I do not go to the New Haven location of late..I do buy their italian bread at several grocery stores options however. Glad they stayed on Washington Ave. good for New Haven. When I worked nextdoor for General Foods..(Croissant Bakery) they and we were great neighbors..sometimes one would run out of an ingredient or borrow baking equipment. Great relationship with nice people!

Have not been here for a while. The semolina bread, is my favorite. The only disappointment was the change in the cranberry bread. Used to buy a loaf that was cranberry nut, a much more artisan loaf, very European.While the new larger soft loaf is ok it lacks the flavor and texture of the previous loaf..

I discovered this small unassuming place a few years ago. I've purchased their breads at their retail location and in local supermarkets. I've never tried anything other than their breads, so that's what this review is about. Service is friendly at their retail site and I go out of my way to get their Italian and sandwich breads at the supermarket.

Old school and best rye bread on the planet!

Tried some sfogliatelle pastries for the first time and Semolina loaf. All very tasty for breakfast in our holiday rental apartment up the road.

Not only is the bread delicious, but the owner went above and for my aunt! She came in right as the place was closing to pick up bread she had reserved. She didn’t realize they were cash only, so she left empty handed. 15 mins later the owner calls and offers to meet my aunt in her hometown to deliver the bread. Service above and beyond!
During Easter season, get their hot cross buns. Fluffy, not too sweet, but crossed with sticky icing. A perfect treat! Only available from Good Friday to Easter week, though!
