An Italian Family Story in New Haven

May 01, 2023 by George Chen in New Haven, Yale University, Review

Lucibello's Italian Pastry is a story about immigration, family, and tradition, and its pastries are all about love, for friends, or you can just buy a bunch of yourself to celebrate your life. Why not?

The Faggio Family has owned and operated Lucibello’s for over 60 years. In 1959, Frank Faggio purchased the Pastry Shop at it’s original location on Chapel Street, where he worked since an early age and learned his craft.

His perseverance and hard work led to its rapid growth, moving the well-known bakery to its present location at 935 Grand Avenue (corner of Grand Ave. and Olive St.). Frank’s passion, pursuit of excellence, and incredible work ethic grew his business into a successful, honored establishment.

Presently, Frank’s son, Peter Faggio continues this family tradition of maintaining old-world skill in creating the pastries, cakes, cookies and Italian confections that have made Lucibello’s a landmark in New Haven, Connecticut, and a destination from surrounding cities.

The most famous cake at the shop? Don’t miss the mini-rainbow cake!
