80 years today my father was born. At 38 he co-founded the Italian Bakery and we whole left italy to start our new life in Canada. He shaped many lives with his hands, his spirit and his lion heart. Less then two years ago he left us after Alzheimer’s took the best of him.Oggi ti saluto papà, grazie per tutto, sei sempre in me. #vitadatoro #whotoldyou #theyjustdontlisten #italianbakeryvictoria

Open this Thursday and Friday, bread and many meals made for your dinner or freezer. All the pork used was from hogs raised for us and pasture fed with all our kitchen scraps, butchered And ground by yours truly. Salamini are also aging...

March 20,2020 Over the past few weeks we have continued to provide Victorians with our products so to enable as many people as possible to prepare for the inevitable personal isolation. We have taken many precautions up to this point, often leading the movement of awareness. It is time now to continue this process. For the well being of our staff, family and community, we have decided to close our doors effective Sunday March 21 until such a time that it is deemed safe for us to return to work. Stay safe and we look forward to serving you soon. Alberto and Staff

Dear valued patron: We continue to strive to serve you safely during these challenging times. Last week we made steps on this direction by implementing take out only, and social distancing while in on our premises. This week we will continue to fine tune this protocol. These are the new parameters:... We have set up floor tape in our store to clearly set out distancing. We will allow patrons in limited numbers. Please minimize touching surfaces and limit your in store time to what is necessary. Please order by calling us at 250.388.4557, we will take orders for the next day only. Our public washroom will not be available. We have reduced opening hours to 9-4. Our bread is available at Lifestyle Markets as well. We encourage payment via credit, especially with debit and tap. Please consider avoiding paying with VISA AND MC, we are financially challenged as is and would appreciate assistance in reducing our costs. Thank you for your understanding... Alberto and family and staff.

CV19 In store Protocol We are taking responsible steps in doing our part to minimize the contagion of CV19. While in the store, we ask you to allow adequate... space between patrons (3ft is recommended in Italy) and advise you to minimize contact with surfaces. All hot drinks and food will be served in to go containers only and wish to remind you to briskly get in and out of enclosed spaces, avoiding human to human contact. We wish to provide you with our goods and want to encourage you to enjoy our treats and food in the comfort of your own surroundings. We have moved many items out of reach and are happy to gather them for you upon request. We will continue to bake to the best of our abilities and encourage you to call reserve your bread order before 2pm for the next day. (2503884557) With these measures we hope to minimize the escalating infection of CV19, assist our health care professionals as well as keeping ourselves able to provide you with substance and goodies during these challenging times.
