The heart of Rome that beats in Toronto.

Metteteci la passione, e tutto risultera' meraviglioso.

— Put the love in, and everything comes out beautiful.

Nestled in Toronto's Upper Beaches, our little bakery brings the warmth and charm of Italy to your neighbourhood. Every loaf, every focaccia, every square of pizza al taglio is made with time-honoured recipes and a stubborn devotion to the way it's always been done back home.

From the rich pull of espresso in the morning to the golden crust of a just-baked focaccia in the afternoon, our team has thought about every detail so that walking in feels a little like coming home. The shelves fill up daily with classics — cornetti, cannoli, tiramisu, tarallucci, panini — beside the pantry staples you need for tonight's sugo.

Whether you're stopping in for your morning cappuccino, grabbing a slice on your way through the Beach, or picking up something sweet for the family, you'll find every bite made with care and tradition. Mangiamo.
