"You need a pinch of love!" - Natale Bozzo
La Famiglia Bozzo – Keeping the family tradition alive.
Natale Bozzo came to Toronto when he was 15 years old with his family. He immigrated from Consenza, Italy (Calabria). Natale first began working at Sicilia Bakery on College Street in Toronto when he arrived. Shortly after that, a friend of his asked him to help out at a bakery located at 374 Royal York Road.
Natale learned that the owner of this bakery wanted to sell the place, so Natale purchased it in 1969 along with his brothers Giuseppe, Peter, and John. The Bozzos named the bakery ‘SanRemo’ Bakery, after the popular Italian music festival and competition. It started out with only a couple employees, all immediate family. The Bozzo children grew up working in the bakery, and learning different aspects of the business. In the late 90s, after over 25 years together, Natale bought out the business from his brothers. He has since passed it down to his three sons: Rob, Nick and Eddie Bozzo.
