I must confess that I originally picked up The Bread, My Sweet because, like many girls alive in the late 70’s, I still haven’t recovered from my crush on Chachi. I figured, at the very least, it would be an entertaining flick. It turned out, however, to be so much more. It has some of the same features of your typical romance. Dominic Pyzola makes good money as a corporate raider, but his true love is his Italian bakery where he makes amazing pastries with his brothers. The upstairs neighbors, Bella and Massimo, take care of them and keep them in line. When Dominic discovers Bella is sick, he is willing to do anything to make her happy, including marrying her wandering daughter Lucca. The Bread, My Sweet is a beautiful film filled with family, love, and amazing food.
