Scudiero's Italian Bakery & Deli

History

In 1930's Umbaldo Datoli ran a bakery in Serino Italy, it was passed down from his grandfather, to his father, to him. He was a third generation baker baking homemade Italian breads from the recipe his grandfather started. After the war he decided to move his family to America. In 1954 he opened up a small Italian bakery on Lake St. in Melrose Park, Il. The bakery was an Italian grocery store where people can find many Italian products, but the specialty of the place was homemade Italian Bread, that very same recipe he brought from Italy is what people from all over loved. Unfortunately Umbaldo Datoli passed away in 1969, and the bakery was taken over by his daughter Lena Scudiero who ran the bakery for several years by herself, In 1976 her husband Joe left his current job to help out with expanding the business, in 1978 the name was later changed from Melrose Park Italian Bakery to Scudiero's Italian Bakery
