There’s Only One Remaining Old-Time Italian Bakery In All Of Missouri And You Need To Visit

A good bakery isn’t too difficult to find, especially in Missouri. However, most of the old-school bakeries, while known and beloved in their neighborhoods, remain a hidden gem for those not in the neighborhood. Vitale’s Bakery in Missouri, for example, is one of the few remaining old-fashioned Italian bakeries. Next time your sweet tooth is aching, head to this corner bakery that makes some of the best Italian pastries and bread you’ll ever taste.

Tucked on a corner of Marconi Avenue in St. Louis, Vitale's Bakery has been satisfying Missourians' sweet tooth since 1976.

It's one of those old-fashioned Italian bakeries where you'll feel right at home when you walk through the front door. The quaint bakery has been family-owned since the very beginning.

Don't be too surprised if your mouth begins to water when you start looking at the many delicious pastries in the display cases.

You'll find a little bit of everything, including freshly-baked breads. Vitale's Bakery, in fact, makes its bread for numerous local restaurants.

Browse the display case for your favorites, including biscotti, amaretto, and classic butter chocolate chip cookies.

You probably won't want to pass by the chocolate-covered macaroons or the turtles. (What's available when you visit will likely vary.)

How does a helping of ricotta puffs sound? You can also order everything you need for the holidays or any other special occasions.

Make sure you pick up some Cucidati, a classic fig Christmas cookie. Cookie trays are also available, and don't forget to ask about the freshly-made pizza dough,

Here's the official website of Vitale's Bakery. Or, go here for Facebook.
