Passionately
baking by heart, our hands will construct for you a thousand sweet figures
of art — Biscotti, Pignoli, Zuccotto, and other
Italian desserts, using authentic Sicilian recipes
and hand-shaping techniques.
We ship to restaurants,
cafes, and individuals worldwide.
Our baking process
focuses on
mani sapienti —
accuracy and knowledge of
the hands. Our pleasure is seeing others
enjoy what we so lovingly prepare.

"twice baked", made in a
variety of shapes and using various recipes from different
regions of Italy. We use real butter and natural
ingredients. Flavors range from Almond and Amaretto
to Orange and Anise.
including Zuccotto, Italian Rum, Torta
Savoia and Ricotta Cheese. Made of the freshest,
purest ingredients. Prepared with patience and respect.
Ranging from the flavorful Pignoli
to Biscottini da Te (Little Tea Cookies), to exquisite
Tetu (Chocolate Clove Cookies).
Presenting, Old World Pastries, where we
hand-shape every cookie, biscuit, and cake using techniques
and recipes shared by our friends and family from Sicily.
It is my fervent wish that you will taste the amoré
we infuse into each bite, in the privacy of your home or in
the many restaurants we supply.
NOTHING tastes quite the same as authentic
Italian pastry, it is artistically satisfying to sculpt the
unique cakes, and while preparing the many types of dough,
the inspiration comes from the heart, to form a variety of
shapes. Of course, eggs, milk, flour, honey, salt, sugar,
spice, and chocolate are the ingredients used in our pastries,
BUT the freshness of the ingredients and handling them in
different ways produces vastly different results.
Our pastries have relatively little sugar
compared to modern confections, relying on blends of spicy
seeds, nuts, dried fruits, wines, liquers, etc. for their
flavors. If you are celebrating a very special event...if
you want something extraordinary to serve with your coffee
or tea, you won't be disappointed with our distinctive looking,
delicate-tasting, mouth-watering sensations. Once you taste
our pastries, experience the bouquet that lingers on the palate
like a fine wine, or see them on display at your party or
special occasion, we are sure you will agree that you have
found an exceptional collection of desserts.
Buon Appetito,
Dio ti Benedica,
