Italian bakery

Biscotti and sfogliatelle

An Italian bakery is a bakery specializing in traditional Italian breads and pastries—cannoli, biscotti, sfogliatelle, panettone, and crusty loaves.

The term often evokes a neighborhood shop with display cases of cookies and pastries sold by the pound: We stopped at the Italian bakery for some sfogliatelle and a loaf of semolina bread.
