Talucci's Italian Bakery

Talucci's Italian Bakery makes breads, pastries and handcrafted sandwiches from scratch each day, drawing on family recipes and classic Italian baking. The menu includes cannoli and sfogliatelle, croissants with fillings like pistachio and Nutella, danishes, focaccia and Italian loaves, along with a lunch menu that includes a Maine lobster roll. Specialty layer cakes come in 8 and 10 inch sizes and can be ordered ahead.

The shop also runs an Italian market with imported pasta, wines, specialty ingredients and fresh prepared pasta meals to take home. Catering and private dining for birthdays and celebrations are available, and the bakery is open early on weekdays, with Friday and Saturday hours running later. Talucci's is at 145 Central Avenue in Summerville.
