Scialo Bros. Bakery

Scialo Bros. Bakery, simply called Scialo’s, was a Federal Hill, Providence, Rhode Island bakery open from 1916 until owners Lois Scialo Ellis and Carol Scialo Gaeta closed it on March 14, 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their father Luigi and his brother Gaetano^[1] had opened the bakery.^[2] It was considered Federal Hill’s last authentic Italian bakery.^[3]

After Lois's passing in August 2020, the bakery was sold to an anonymous group of investors who bought the building, and abiding to agreements made at the time of purchase, opened again in May 2021 under the same name, using the same recipes and with Carol working at the bakery.^[3]
