There are lots of bakeries in Wisconsin. But if it’s authentic Italian sweets you’re craving, Peter Sciortino Bakery is the place for you. The Milwaukee staple has been around for decades, and we’re guessing the authentic Italian sweets just might have something to do with that. Take a look:
This is Peter Sciortino Bakery. The Brady Street institution opened in 1947 and has been a local favorite for nearly as long.
The popular bakeshop has been voted "Milwaukee’s Best Bakery." However, many patrons would argue that it's "Wisconsin’s Best Bakery."
And after one visit, you’ll quickly see what all the fuss is about. The aroma of fresh-baked bread, rolls, and cookies is sure to be the first thing you notice when you set foot inside the bakery.
A stocked display case will likely be the second.
Take a look inside and you’ll find a delectable selection of authentic Italian cookies and pastries – all of which is made from scratch daily.
A customer favorite, the cookies have been a bakery specialty since the beginning. In addition to taste, it’s the variety that’s impressive.
The sweet selection includes all the classics, like Anise toast, cimino, and biscotti.
The authentic treats don’t end with the cookies, though. There are also Italian pastries.
Tiramisu, sfogliatelle, and cannoli are just a few of the classic pastries offered. And just like the cookies, the pastries taste like they came straight from Italy.
Aside from Italian sweets, the bakery sells fresh baked Italian breads and rolls, which are as much a customer favorite as the desserts.
Between the amount of time it's been in business to the consistent rave reviews, Peter Sciortino Bakery is surely doing something right - and it's pretty sweet.
