About US
Baked in the Bronx
Long before we opened our doors in 1925 on a side street in Harlem, Calogero Nicosia began cultivating his passion for bread in the foothills of a town in Sicily, Santa Caterina. It was here that the tradition began and now, 4 generations later, we offer that taste to you. Our quality handcrafted breads are made fresh by our highly skilled bakers. Our bread is slowly fermented and baked to a light golden color to enhance flavor, and is always made fresh and delivered 7 days a week. Take one home, cut it open and Taste the Tradition!
Our Mission
Being a fourth generation family-owned business is something we are proud of. We understand the importance of a strong, close-knit family. More and more, families are not eating dinner together. The family dinner table has been replaced with eating separately or meals on the go. Growing up Italian, gathering for dinner was much more than a meal– it was a time for us to bond and grow together. No matter what night of the week it was, or what we were eating, bread has always been an essential part. We remember grabbing a fresh baked loaf of bread and breaking off a piece as we passed it around the table. That was our time of the day to sit down, enjoy some fresh bread, and share each other’s company. So here at La Nicosia’s Original Bronx Bakery, we ask you to take a little time out of your day and invite you and your family to sit down at the table and Taste the Tradition!
