Petonito’s Chocolate Nutella Cupcakes- 6pcs.

Petonito’s Pastry Shop was founded in 1954 by Salvatore Petonito. Sal and his wife Dolores ran the Pastry Shop for many years in East Haven. Sal took pride in everything that he baked and through his hard work and dedication has created an iconic landmark in the greater New Haven Community. His son Mark also worked side by side with his father for many, many years.

Our family,  The Criscuolos were fortunate enough to be able to continue the fabulous traditions started by the Petonito Family 65 years ago by purchasing the Shop in January of 2019. We added our personal touches while still keeping all of the classic traditional items like Sal and Mark’s amazing Italian pastry, cookies and cakes that people remember and love and keep coming back for!

Our story at Petonito’s began many years ago in 1983 when Regina, one of the new owners, was hired by Sal with her first job as a counter helper. Regina stayed for 11 years and soon Sal trained her how to make cookie trays, fill pastry, help in the kitchen and most importantly make and decorate the cakes and wedding cakes. It was at the bakery that she met her husband Michael who would come in each day for a pastry. Fast forward to 2019 where Regina and Michael and their children Amanda and Michael are very involved in the new Petonito’s Pastry and Cupcake Shoppe. They, along with their staff have continued to hold dear Sal and Mark’s beautiful traditions.
