Calabria Bakery

It is not closed. They moved down the road to Galswothy and Hwy 7. The pizza and calzones are great and I love their veal sandwich.

Calabria is open in Markham.
The new location is Hwy 7, by Galsworthy.

Love the service. Love the food! Pizza is amazing. The cannolis are to die for. I gained major poundage on that alone. Do not miss this family bakery. It is awesome!

We came here twice today because we just couldn’t wait another day to visit!
The first time we went in, we had cappucino and biscottis, a very satisfying combination! We saw their hot food section and we knew we had to come back.
And half an hour later, we were there again! We ordered a pasta with mushroom, rapini, and brussel sprouts on the side and a meat lasagna with rapini. The menu did not list how much it costs to add veggies on the side, but the total was around $ 17 which was a little pricey. I wish they would a bit more clear with their prices. The veggies were cooked well and the pasta was simple, yet flavorful. The lasagna was pretty good, except the tomato sauce was a bit too sour and overpowering.
All in all, Calabria Bakery is an authentic Italian restaurant with food that is delicious, comforting and will leave you hungry for more!

I drove by McCowan and Hwy 7 where Calabria Bakery used to me and I found out it is gone…
No, it didn’t closed down! The whole building structure is gone!
Now it is a construction site and I couldn’t find an update at their website…
Where is Calabria?
To be Continued…

Calabria Bakery is a Markham gem. Their cannolis are to die for, in that soft creamy and not so sweet sort of way that induces pangs of nostalgia for a Sicilian vacation. Their filling takes me back to a trip in Cefalu (Palermo) where I sat sipping on my espresso, eating my cannoli and thinking bad thoughts about kidnapping one of those 50 Vespas lined up outside the shop for a very long joy ride.
So Calabria definitely gets the job done in terms of authenticity. Their food selection, aside from espresso and cannolis, extends to wood-​fired oven pizza, fresh pasta, veal parmigiana and tons of pastries.
I will definitely be back.

This place is a little Italian gem in Markham.
It’s one of those places that I’ve driven by many, many times but never took the chance to go in and actually check it out. The interior takes you away into this other world of an Italian mom and pop shop that has been there for over 20 years.
They have fresh baked goods (variety of cannolis, red velvet cupcakes, cakes etc), a hot plate area if you’re craving lasagna, pasta, chicken parmigian, etc and sandwiches.
In the back there are baskets of bread to bring home, along with olive oil and Bristol coffee (whole bean, ground coffee etc).
Since I came here after a large lunch, I got a couple of small baguettes ($ 0.75/each) to eat later and had a coffee flavoured cannoli ($ 2) to eat in the bakery. Delicious and fresh. The ricotta filling was light with a bit of coffee flavour and the cannoli pastry was crisp as opposed to chewy so I knew it wasn’t sitting there for a few days.
They also have this awesome looking espresso machine that I’ve never seen before. I «google imaged» espresso machine and the first name I could find for it was «traditional espresso machine». Cool, that works for me. I’ll have to come back and try out their latte or cappucino ($ 3). Excited to try it out!
