It all started in 1885 when a young man named Antonio Veniero left a small town outside of Sorrento, Italy and arrived here in NYC and got a job at a candy factory in downtown Manhattan. Nine years later in 1894 he opened his business (A. Veniero Confections)at 342 East Eleventh Street(our present location)and he then expanded his business by bring over Master Bakers from Italy. His wife Pasqulina bore him 7 children (4 girls and 3 boys). He won numerous awards starting in 1925, 1933 and 1939. He always had a belief that no matter what the price of his ingredients they HAD TO BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY! And we have not changed that formula to this day. There have been many Italian bakeries that spun off after Antonio passed away in 1931 and most have come and gone. His son Michael took over the business and then passed the business on to his cousin Frank Zerilli (our father) back in 1970. Our family is dedicated to only one thing and that is making the highest quality desserts, cookies, biscotti and cakes this side of the Atlantic! Please call us to set up a tasting with you're fiance and we promise that our price, quality and service will not be beat by any other bakeries here in the Tri-State Area. Come in and experience what all Veniero's Pasticceria has to offer you on you're special day. Remember we've been doing this for over 120 years at the SAME LOCATION and not many competitors can claim that! Ciao, All my best! Robert Zerilli Great Nephew of Antonio Veniero
