Lombardi's Bakery — Restaurant in Torrington

Being an Italian New Yorker, it was hard for me to give Lombardi's 4 stars because they really don't have a lot of the Italian pastries that I'm use to getting in New York, but the prices are just as high as New York though. With that said, I did give them 4 stars because they're the only Italian bakery in town and they are friendly. They will make you specific items that they don't have on display with advanced notice which is nice.
