Biagio is one of the owners, who took over after his father. Sitting down and chatting with him was just one of the many treats at this bakery. Many friends and family stop in all day long, and it’s so pleasant seeing people working, writing, or just stopping in to have an espresso and chat with the staff and regulars. It reminds you of a movie almost, with the friendly counter staff, modern but casual interior, and pastry cases full of Italian specialties. You will always find someone from the family here at Fortunato Brothers, and it’s refreshing to see such pride and passion in the ownership here.
