Villa Italia

My father, Joe Mallozzi, immigrated to the United States in the early sixties from a small town called Minturo, Italy.   Our grandparents operated a small pastry shop there, and my father, along with his brothers and sisters, were raised much like we were, amidst the business and with strong working values.  In 1959, my grandfather passed, and the family made plans to start a new life, in a new country.   In 2005, we closed our shop in Rotterdam, and relocated to the heart of Schenectady, amidst a resurgence of businesses and entertainment venues that are bringing a new look and feel to downtown.  We still continue to make all of the great pastries and cakes that our parents introduced years ago, and have added a few new things along the way.
