Awesome place. Only open to public sales 730-12 on Saturdays but worth the visit. Small and no place to sit inside, cash/venmo only but again worth it. Great bread and great pastries. Pastries at $2.75 each, traditional Italian bread for cheap and the nicest guy behind the counter who loves to chat, you could easily spend an hour chitchatting and listening to his awesome stories. A great old world, classic bakery you wish there were more of around

Website states they’re open on Friday mornings but they were closed.

Get there super early! By the time I got there (30 min after opening) they were sold out of cannolis and cookies. I will definitely be trying to get there right when they open next time. Pastry's were so good and cheap ($2.50 each) and the owner is very friendly!

The best bakery in DC! All of the Italian restaurants use their bread. Open to public on Saturday.

The highlight of my Saturday mornings! Delicious pastries and bread. The owner also takes the time to know his newer customers, and the loyal customers have been coming here for years.

Catania & Catania is really helpful with my case and always available for any questions that I had. Would recommend this firm!

You cannot beat this bakery for value and product. Every item we purchased had perfect texture and flavor. Keep in mind that you want to eat what you buy because it is made fresh without preservatives. No place to sit and enjoy there so we grabbed a cup of coffee nearby and savored our delicious goodies. This is a cash only and cash app place. The gentleman that was helping us in this day was friendly and quite the personality. These treats are a rare gem to find these days. You'll be shocked by the value. Don't be deceived by the appearance of this bakery. It looks like it's not even open. They have limited shop hours on Friday and Saturday and it's worth waking up early for their personality, goodies and value!

Best Authentic Italian Bakery in DC. Very personal family run business, they bake for restaurants or sell by the loaf. My family has been going here for 60+ years. Come out and support them.

NOT open on Fridays. This would be a very enthusiastic 5 rating if they kept their hours updated. I took time off work to come here to get supplies for a dinner party tonight, and there was a sign on the door. Ended up driving all over the city and got in trouble with work. Also, this place is CASH ONLY.
