The origins of Donato’s Bakery in Thunder Bay lie, in the most part, to a father-son-family endeavour leading to its founding in 1994 when Nino Bruno seized an opportunity and helped his Sons in opening the first bakery in the family since that of the original old wood fired oven of their Great Grandmother in Simbario, Calabria. Today Donato’s offers pizza; prepared take-out dishes, traditional bread and sweet products, and is open 24 hours a day.
