The origins of Donato´s Bakery in Thunder Bay lie, in the most part, to a father-son-family endeavor leading to its founding in 1994 when Nino Bruno seized an opportunity and helped his son Donato (Donny) open the first bakery in the family since that of the old wood oven of his great Grandmother in Simbario, Calabria. Today Donato´s offers pizza; prepared take-out dishes, traditional bread and sweet products, out prize winning Marinara Tomato Sauce and is open practically 24 hours a day. Donato´s Bakery operations are based on passion for the traditional way of doing things and excellence in quality and taste. Donato (Donny) has two brothers, James the eldest and David the youngest, whom are committed to creating taste sensations through their pizzas, tomato sauce, breads, pies, cheesecake and bite-size tart creations and prepared dishes. Donato´s prides themselves in their capacity to offer customers delicious food and tailor-made service solutions, big or small. We have three ovens; the largest of the three has the capacity to cook 30 pizza´s at one time or over 100 traditional Italian loaves. Our Bis-Nonna (great Grandma) in the old country would have been proud! Services include private and public functions, personnel restaurants, student restaurants, café-restaurants, restaurants at conferences and meeting venues as well as food services for schools and public service organisations. Donato´s also offers sweet trays for catering services for special occasions, catering companies or catered events and supplies local grocery stores with their prize winning Marinara Tomato Sauce.
