Vaughan’s heart and soul is nestled into Nino D’Aversa Bakery, to which both faithful patrons and wide-eyed newcomers flock, and where the hungry get lost in the displays of fresh-made European pastries and artisan bread, the rainbow of homemade gelato, the simmering hot plates of authentic Italian dishes and the rotating rack of wood-oven pizzas.

This culinary playground has evolved like a steadily growing family since its founding in 1969. What originated as a traditional Italian bakery has flourished into five restaurant-bakeries across the GTA, each infused with a pizzeria, gelateria and espresso bar. But as much as the family-owned business has grown, it’s sticking to the values that have set it apart since the beginning.

“Our co-founders were passionate about offering fresh-made products every day at a reasonable price,” says Michael D’Aversa, co-owner. “Making sure the customer is getting value is what has made us who we are today.” Whether you’re seeking lunch, craving a treat or in dire need of some fresh, hand-kneaded bread, Nino D’Aversa Bakery invites you to come and taste  the tradition.

Nino D’Aversa Bakery invites you to come and taste the tradition in Woodbridge, Maple, Downsview, Thornhill and Aurora.
