About this episode
For my first podcast, I am thrilled to sit down with baker Renato Poliafito , owner of Ciao, Gloria in Brooklyn, New York. I first met Renato when he was the co-owner and co-founder of Baked , and now he has his own delicious venue, with pastries and baked goods that reflect his Italian and Italian-American heritage, which include everything from breakfast sandwiches with eggs, crisp prosciutto and Calabrian aïoli on housemade brioche buns (they’re so good!), to Tricolor Bars (aka: Rainbow cookies), Bombolini, Amaretti, Coffee-Coffee Cake, Chocolate & Nutella-filled coissants, as well as the best-ever, deep-dark Cocoa Chip Brownies. Ciao, Gloria is a must-stop in Brooklyn and we had a great time tasting his treats! Buon appetito!
