Love this place!! As the daughter of a baker I will always support local bakeries and luckily this one is so close to my house and so good!! If you want a donut or pastry make sure to get up early, because they don't last long! I love the cinnamon rolls (have just the slightest lemon flavor in the glaze which makes them so perfect!!) for breakfast with a cup of their coffee, the Italian cookies for an afternoon pick me up, and the hot ham and rolls on a Sunday! Everyone who works there is always so nice and I've never ordered something that I didn't love!!

Hot ham and rolls. I just fell in love with Milwaukee all over again after finding this place. You must must get the hot ham and rolls.

My Grandparents lived close to this bakery 50 or so years ago. I guess my grandpa would go with my dad and uncle. Being from an Italian backgrounds cool cause this to me is a little bit of history. Baked goods are simply excusite and you get your money's worth based off taste alone

Today was my mom's birthday and I asked the sales associate if she could put sprinkles on the cupcakes I was purchasing. She was open to the idea, however, it seemed like a problem when she received clarification from the lady working in the back. I was given a very unwelcoming stare. Also the Bavarian creme donut I purchased for myself was disgusting. First and last experience at this bakery. Thank you to the sales associate up front. She was very nice

Fantastic family baker in the city. Wide selection of treats and snack. Really kind service. Great food.
My favorite bakery for years. They have the BEST breads/rolls of anyone in Milwaukee. And their Italian cookies, biscotti and cannoli always leave me wanting more. It's a family owned and operated business, which in my book is always a plus. They also have ham and roll deals on Sunday morning, as well as a punch card for a free loaf of bread after purchasing so many.

Parking isn’t easy to get since it is always busy. But the food, atmosphere, and service are great here and always have been. Highly recommended if you can find a parking spot.

I'm glad I saved Peter Sciortino's bakery in my Wisconsin collection because after a meal at La Masa, I searched for a dessert spot and Peter's came right up. And the Yelp reviews and pics were right on target. I wanted to get so much more, but I was ready to bust a gut (meaning my stomach was filled to 100%). So I settled on a mini cassata cake which had hints of lemon, it was really sweet and gooey which I happen to like by the way. I also selected a mini Boston cream cake and the outer chocolate was a bit too thick and as a result, the cake itself got smushed as I tried to cut into it. I still ate it and it was good tasting nonetheless. Finally, it was my first time being here and I thought the lady could a been a wee bit more friendly. I mean, it was not that busy and if you turn on a little charm, people tend to buy more. At least I do, I'm a sucker around friendly and kind people. All in all, I will be back because the mini cakes were good.
