"The founders of Bruno’s has been making panettone for over 30 years; it’s now helmed by Joe Settepani, the second generation and from the same extended family as the Williamsburg-based Settepani. Bruno’s exacting recipes call for specific imported ingredients and even a preferred source of water. The bakery offers year-round and seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice. The chocolate panettone is a highlight, with a beautifully rounded chocolate dome, delicate sweetness, and hazelnut praline. The mandorlato, with the unmistakable scent of citron and almond crust, makes a strong holiday statement. Bruno’s will also deliver across the city and nationwide." - John Tsung
