Prato Bakery

Prato Bakery was founded in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 2009 by baker Simone Bertini and his wife Teresa, named after Simone’s hometown, the historic Tuscan city of Prato. The bakery, which moved across the river to Jersey City in 2015, has made a name for itself as one of the only places outside of Italy to find picture-perfect, scratchmade cantucci, a traditional Tuscan cookie with a recipe – and a loyal following – that dates back hundreds of years.

Adhering to tradition, Prato Bakery’s cantucci are made with just eggs, sugar, flour, baking soda, and imported traditional fillings like figs, chocolate, and almonds – no oil, butter, or preservatives. They’re perfect for dunking into coffee, milk, or (if you really want to keep it traditional) the sweet Tuscan dessert wine called Vin Santo as the perfect way to end a good meal. This is a true taste of Tuscany, and it’s shipping nationwide!
