Shops in Bedford Park

Mario Madonia started this bakery in 1918 and it has stayed in the family since, on Arthur Avenue, baking in a deck oven installed the year it opened. Pane di casa, olive bread and the lard bread people come across the borough for, plus cannoli filled when you ask rather than in advance. It opens at half past six in the morning. There is no seating and the transaction takes two minutes.

Mon to Sat, 6:30am to 7pm. Sun, 6:30am to 6pm
