“I'm from Staten Island N.Y., and I'm 56 years old. My wife and I moved to Old Forge Pennsylvania on Monday October 16th, 2023. I've been a milk route truck driver, a Sanitation worker for NYC, and a Commercial Sanitation Route driver; I had many Straight Truck, Air Brakes, CDL Driving jobs ew my life including dump trucks. I KNOW NYC. I had apartments in Brooklyn as well as Staten Island. I worked in every Borough including Yonkers, Westchester County, and many parts of New Jersey, where I also had quite a few apartments over the years. My point? Being Italian/American and submerged in the heritages culture, I'm VERY familiar with GENUINELY AUTHENTIC Italian Breads; and BOTH the right and wrong types of baking them. Agostini's Bread? PHENOMENAL!!! I was shocked at the old fashioned authentic LOOK, TEXTURE, and TERRIFIC TASTE, of the Two different large loaves that I bought: Sesame Seeded Twisted loaf; AND, a Dark Brown loaf of Russian Rye bread. Both, EXCELLENT! I met Rita in the store front and it was like stepping into Cammerieri's Bakery from the Movie ? "MoonStruck ." Or Addeo's Bakery in the Bronx. This 100 year old plus business was purchased by Rita and her husband 2 years ago. They are carrying on the tradition of superior Italian bread and more, and they are carrying the TORCH. I dipped a piece of that Twisted loaf into Extra Virgin Olive oil that was sprinkled with Cracked Black pepper and Cracked Sea Salt, and was drizzled over Fresh Homemade Mozzarella topped with Garden Basil leaves and Juicy Grape Tomatoes. The Bread was DIVINE! Dinner was served with a Barbecued Cheese and Parsley Sausage Ring from Staten Island N.Y., with Homemade Red and Yellow Roasted Bell Peppers, and Green Poblano Roasted Peppers marinating in Olive oil and garden parsley and slices of Raw Garlic cloves. Along with a homemade Pesto my wife makes to perfection, Agostini Bread was a perfect accompaniment to our dinner table. Some home made Sangria and our table was furnished with all of the BEST! Thank you, Agostini Bakery! You have a new permanent patron; ME! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ✝?????✝”
