History

Founded by Italian immigrant Antonio Bova on Salem Street (but across the street from its current location) in 1926, [1] they specialized only in bread. It eventually added booths, becoming a diner before removing them. By the 1990s, they added more substantial meals like rice balls, pizzas and calzones. [2]

Another source says they opened in 1932. [3]

Antonio's five sons worked in the business with two eventually selling their shares of the business. [2]

Current operations

The bakery is open 24 hours a day. [2]

In March 2023, the bakery closed down for a week to be used as a shooting location for the film The Instigators , starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. [4] [5]

Their tiramisu was voted the best in the United States. [1]

An Irish tourist, in 2012, brandished a knife and demanded cannoli. [6]
