No preservatives or additives, just real bread.

Totally agree and a nice cheese selection.

Nothing like Boston's North End and all the lovely bakery's.... no where else. So to me the best Italian Bakery is ME... same with Italian Restaurants nope, its about the sauce..etc. ha ha... typical Italian... perfectionist with her cooking... ha ha....

I want a bakery that makes Lard Bread.

Let those from the mid-west try to figure what that is..lol

As far as I know there is no Bakery for Good Italian Pastry and as far as Lard Bread, I Love It.

They are in the frozen section and it's called "What's a Bialy".

For challah, buy me the ingredients and I'll make you a couple loaves. Otherwise, good luck - Boca will be your closest bet.

For GOOD Italian cookies, you can order Veniero's out of East Village in NYC through "Goldbelly."

Actually, the Fresh Market makes a good challah. The problem is you never know when they are going to bake them.
