The D’Angelo bakery in Piazza Tommaso Natale 40 in Palermo has a long history of success and quality. It all began in 1968 when Grandfather Nino opened a bakery in the district of Tommaso Natale, where he produced bread and cookies with Sicilian flour. In 1985, his son Giuseppe continued the tradition, using natural yeast for daily bread production. In 2007, the children renewed the tradition by rediscovering the quality of natural yeast for bakery pastries, bread, pizzas, and focaccias. In 2008, they started producing the D’Angelo Bakery panettone and holiday leavened products using high-quality natural yeast and local products. The latest innovation for 2023 is the “Fruttissimo” panettone, a fragrant vanilla dough with a mix of semi-candied fruits and a lemon glaze. The bakery has also implemented an effective online shop, and according to statistics, the most popular products are the Classico Milano, Mandorlato, Setteveli, and Crema Mandorla. The bakery was also featured in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guide as one of the best bakeries in Palermo, with their panettone production described as “triumphant.” The bakery offers a wide range of artisanal products, and their panettone and holiday desserts are highly praised in the guide.
