Faragalli's Bakery is a must-visit for anyone who loves a hearty Italian bread! My family and I have been going there for over 50 years, and we've never been disappointed. Their Easter bread is a must-try. Their bread is excellent for dipping. Bernadette is always friendly and greets you with a smile. Highly recommend!!!
The tomato turnovers are delicious and unique! Rich and full of flavor but made without cheese. I bought them to serve with lentil soup for out of town guests and they were a great hit.
I always get bread but their loaves are great too! cranberry, banana chocolate chip, peach, apple, and a moist pound cake. Yum!! Can't forget their fried dough, and the cherry bites and apple bites too.
We just picked up our Easter bread - it is so delicious, melts in your mouth. Soft, sweet - out of this world - Thank you!
The best Italian bread in South Philly. Large & small rounds and long loaves, seeded and unseeded baked in wood burning stove by local family. Whole wheat loaves available on Fridays. Once the baker gave me loaf straight out of the oven - amazing!
My husband and I LOVE Faragalli's bakery! Since moving to the neighborhood, it has become a habit! We love their fresh turnovers. (I like the chocolate, my husband likes the spinach). They are really kind, friendly people too! It is a small storefront with so much South Philly classic character. Definitely worth the trip!
Best bread in Philly
Disregard any of the low star reviews - this place is third generation authentic old world moved to new world Italian bread making. It’s famous for the family recipe “loafs” - that means the large long bread which you can see in the picture. The original recipe didn’t have seeds but if you like seeds the seeded loafs are nice. Yes the bread has a hard crust. It’s not made for grandmas without heavily glued dentures or those looking to satisfy a sweet tooth. If you are looking to power up before the championship softball game so you can jack a homerun 400 feet into someone’s window this is your spot. The bread is intended to be dipped in “gravy,” spread with a bunch of butter, or dipped in “sauce” or “dressing” (think salads, Turkey drippings, or bruschetta). The thickness of the bead nicely sops up all delightful savory flavors.
Btw it’s closed sundays and Mondays and cash only
