"Operating for over 90 years, this local Italian bakery reflects the immigrant community that used to thrive in the NoMa neighborhood. The family-owned spot still supplies bread and pastries to Italian-American institutions around town, like Vace and A. Litteri. Scarcely open to the public, those in-the-know can only pick up soft loaves, fresh pizza dough, classic Italian pastries (come early to snag custard-filled sfogliatelle), and packaged cookies (like biscotti) from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday mornings." - Emily Venezky
