Est. 1989 — Avenue U, Brooklyn
37 Years of Italian Tradition
Since 1989, our family has baked for Brooklyn the old-world way — everything made fresh on premises, every single day. Three generations of neighbors have grown up on our cannoli, cookies, and cakes.
"37 years of baking, one neighborhood, one family."
More Than a Bakery — A Memory Maker
At Nuccio's Bakery, we believe every occasion deserves something extraordinary. Whether it's your child's first birthday, your wedding day, or a Tuesday afternoon when you just need something sweet — we're here for it.
For 37 years our family has baked the old-world Italian way — recipes carried over from Italy, dough rested overnight, everything finished by hand on Avenue U. Nothing leaves the counter that we wouldn't put on our own Sunday table.
What We Believe In
The Tradition
Recipes carried from Italy and passed down through the family for 37 years — made the same way, because that's the right way.
The Community
We're proud to be a Brooklyn institution. Generations of Avenue U families have celebrated with our cakes and cookies.
The Craft
Every item is baked on premises, daily, by hand. No mixes, no shortcuts, no compromises.
The Care
Behind every order is a person celebrating something special. We take that responsibility seriously.
The Bakers Behind the Magic
A family bakery through and through — the people behind 37 years of Brooklyn mornings.
The Nuccio Family
Owners & Master Bakers
The same family has owned and run the bakery since 1989 — 37 years of recipes passed down and perfected, with the next generation now working the ovens alongside the first.
The Pastry Bench
Italian Pastry Chefs
Sfogliatelle laminated by hand, cannoli shells fried in small batches and filled to order, zeppole every St. Joseph's Day — the classics, done the slow way.
The Cake Room
Cake Decorators
From cassata and tres leches to fully custom celebration cakes, every cake is filled, frosted, and finished by hand in our Avenue U kitchen.
The Bread Ovens
Bread Bakers
Semolina loaves, lard bread, and crusty Italian baguettes come out of our ovens every morning before the doors open at 7AM.
37 Years of Sweet History

A Brooklyn staple: regulars line up every Sunday morning for bread, pastry trays, and boxes of cookies tied with string.

Phone and online ordering keep the ovens running and the neighborhood stocked through the pandemic.
