Italian Cookies

A Taste of Italy is Just Around the Corner.

Nestled among the side-streets of the historic Old Uptown neighborhood of Harrisburg there sits a corner shop of culinary delights; a place where carefully preserved Old World recipes and imported ingredients come together as freshly-made Italian breads, desserts and pasta. Alvaro's Bread and Pastry Shoppe brings an authentic taste of Italy home to Central Pennsylvania. Come inside and enjoy!

"This is a splendid neighborhood-based bakery shop that harkens back to a much earlier time when, throughout the cities of America, this type of shop existed in many a neighborhood. We are delighted to see this long proven retail specialty technique return." — Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed
