Our Story

Two brothers, and a whole lot of love.

Frank and Louie are the two faces you see on everything we make. For twelve years, with Mom (Diane) and Robin, we've built Rehoboth Beach's go-to Italian bakery and specialty shop one recipe at a time.

It started in Campobello di Mazara, Sicily — where Mom and Grandmom's love of baking was born, and where a strong family bond was forged over flour and butter. Those recipes crossed an ocean and landed right here in Delaware.

Everything still starts with those recipes and a refusal to cut corners.

Breads

Rustic loaves baked fresh every single morning — pillowy inside, a crust that actually crackles. What's coming out of the oven changes with the day, so come see what's still warm.
