Dortoni Bakery & Pastry Shoppe is owned and operated by the Messina family. It is an authentic European styled bakery that began with, and has continued to grow with, its owner, Raffaele Messina. Raffaele (Lello) immigrated to the United States from Naples, Italy over 30 years ago. Lello's father was a Master Baker in Naples and Lello began his apprenticeship with his father at a very young age. Determined to continue his family's fine tradition of high quality baking, Lello opened Dortoni Bakery where he introduced specialties from his native Naples. Dortoni Bakery now offers not only Italian specialties but specialties from all over Europe as well as classic American treats.
We are a full scale bakery that still offers handmade breads that are baked fresh daily. The Messina family has expanded on Long Island to include 2 upscale French influenced styled bakeries. La Bonne Boulangerie bakeries are located in the lovely towns of East Norwich and Port Jefferson. For further information on these bakeries visit www. labonneboulangerie.com.
