Tttttttt
It
all started when Mr.
Nino and his family settled here from Sicily when he was only 12 years
old. His family was poor and the whole family had to help out
by working. Nino found work in a local bakery by sweeping floors to earn
his keep. He found himself intrigued with what the Bakers were doing and
I guess you can say he soaked everything in. Nino moved on to work at
other big manufactures of
baking and left in 1965 to travel back to Sicily to marry the woman of
his dreams. After the wedding and working for family, Nino and Nina
along with his parents had an opportunity to take over an existing
Jewish
Bakery in Madison near the University of Madison. They ran that Bakery
for 2 years and the Family learned expertly how to make cakes and
decorate along with learning all about Kosher foods. They were then
forced out because of new construction for the University. The City of
Madison offered to pay for re-locating the family to where ever they
needed to go. They chose Milwaukee due to a German Bakery up for sale in
the Riverwest neighborhood of East Milwaukee. There, Nino learned how to
make his famous Vienna Tortes and his delicious breads and incorporated
his family pastry recipes from generations ago. He then
expanded the Business with offering Wholesale to restaurants and grocery
stores. Nino along with his wife, parents and daughters ran the East
Side location for 30 years. Nino always wanted a future for his
daughters and finally in 1997 he stumbled on a 150 year old building in
Menomonee Falls. With a lot of hard work and determination along with a
few road blocks. Nino, Nina and his daughters opened the Menomonee
Falls location in April of 2000. Today the Bakery is in full swing. Nino
still after 40+ years of baking is still working every
night baking his wonderful breads and rolls. Nina also works full-time along with
their daughters making all her specialty pastries, deli salads and her
own Italian food recipes for the retail store as well as catering
events.
