DICAMILLO BAKERY

DiCamillo Bakery is the unofficial name of The DiCamillo Baking Company Incorporated.

DiCamillo Bakery is an Italian American family-run bakery chain founded in 1920 in Niagara Falls, New York. It has five locations: three in Niagara Falls, NY, one in Williamsville, NY and another in Lewiston NY. They came to the attention of the national food media in 1979[1] when they began shipping their Biscotti Di Vino (red wine biscuits)[2] to Balduccis, Zabars and Dean & DeLuca in New York City.[3][4][5]

History

DiCamillo bakery was founded by Tomaso and Addolorata DiCamillo in 1920 on 14th Street in Niagara Falls, NY.[6] They were joined in business by their 11 children.[7][8] The bakery operated in the basement[9][10] of a three-story building which housed the store at street level and the family home in the flat above. They began by baking fresh bread and delivering it to locals in horse-drawn wagons.[11] In 1925 the bakery was bombed as the result of an extortion racket that demanded protection money-- and the family’s refusal to pay.[12]

Second generation 1940s–1950s

Tomaso DiCamillo died September 15, 1941[13] leaving the family business in the hands of his four sons.[9] In 1942, they moved the bakery from 14th Street to 20th Street[14] where the bakery operated until 1976.[11] By 1954, the company had three stores in Niagara Falls and offered a variety of products besides their breads and biscotti.[15] The post-war years presented many challenges with the changing buying habits of the Italian American community they served.[16] [17]

Third generation 1960s–1990s

In the mid-sixties, the founder’s sons curtailed their local wholesale business and concentrated on their retail operations. By the late-sixties and seventies a third generation of DiCamillo family entered the business: the four sons of Frank DiCamillo[18] one of the founders. In 1976 they opened a new production facility on Linwood Ave.[11] In 1979 the company started to deliver biscotti products[19][20] in tin boxes[21][22] to gourmet departments at Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Bloomingdale's[21] in New York, Marshall Field's in Chicago[9], and Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman[23] and also by mail order.[9][24] In 1982 they exhibited at the International Fancy Food Show[25] at the New York Coliseum[26]. It was at this point that their Biscotti Di Vino, sold in a brown coffee style bag,[9][1] set in motion the growing awareness of this Italian style cookie which began with their introduction. Their focaccia flat bread cracker was introduced in 1983.[27][28][29]. In 1980, DiCamillo also opened their first store outside of Niagara Falls in Lewiston in the historic Hotchkiss building.[30]

Fourth Generation

In 2002, the bakery was operated solely by four brothers, sons of a founding brother, Frank DiCamillo.[8][27][18] In 2006, the bakery opened its fifth retail store in Williamsville New York [31][32] In 2011 Matthew DiCamillo, a fourth-generation great-grandson entered the business.[33][34]

Popular culture and awards

DiCamillo Bakery products have appeared on television’s The Italian Americans[35], CBS Morning News[36], and in Joyce Carol Oate’s novel The Falls[37]. The DiCamillo family were featured on the cover of Allison and Margaret Engel’s 1984 book Food Finds : America's Best Local Foods and the People Who Produce Them.[16]
