Wonderful staff. Delicious cannoli. Their pizza dough is my new fave; it bakes up chewy, light and it stretches beautifully. Love The Italian Bakery.

Yummy - great assortment of treats pastries as well as loaves. Stopped here and found a mouth watering sausage roll as well as some delicious pizza bread.
Stop in and enjoy

Can’t say enough about the genuineness of the baking that Alberto has commandeered over the decades he has worked at the Bakery. The quality of the ingredients is second to none. All ingredients are locally sourced. Many of the berries are hand picked by the owner, Alberto! The taste is fabulous!! This is a dying breed so make sure you treat yourself to all the great tasting baking in this shop!! You won’t be sorry.

This is legitimately THE only place in victoria to get an actual gelato, and that is all you need to know, the pistachio gelato is real and it will grab you by the ear and grind your face along the cobbles of a small villa just outside Naples. The bread is also very good.

Absolutely amazing food and baked goods with the most helpful and kind staff. Hands down one of if not the best European bakeries in Victoria. It's like walking into a bakery in Italy. From opening the door to the smell of roasted hazelnuts and seeing the case filled with the most delectable desserts a d cookies, to the fine selection of imported tomato sauces, noodles and cheeses.
Also did I mention they make their own pasta and have the most delicious fresh gelato you've ever tasted? An absolute must go. You won't fail to immediately start snacking on a fresh baguette on your way out. They will even make and/or save you bread if you call ahead! Never have to worry about going a day with that delicious daily essential.

Gourmet alert! Everyone who loves European style pastries should come check The Italian Bakery! When I came today and saw the right meringue I lost it. I think it’s the first time I found meringue in Canada. Not the pie, meringue. It smelled right, like fresh eggs. I tried 6 different desserts, and small portion sizes are just perfect. Delicious! Seriously delicious, lots of texture, and in gingersnaps there is real ginger. It’s good I live far away from that place, because when I was leaving I bought 6 extra cookies to go. They also have selection of fresh bread, homemade pasta, and pizza dough. Ah, and coffee was 👌 I wish I could buy smaller cakes or slices, there is not a chance I can eat that size alone.

Shoutout to my roommate for brining me here. This place is legit. For the variery of pastries to the assortment of breads to their fresh pizza dough, which made an absolutely delectable pizza, The Italian Bakery has a fan in me.
Update: I had to 5-star for their fresh baked bread...

This is a place I used to visit as a child and I was so happy to return to my hometown and see that it's still there, with bread and pastries as delicious as I remembered them. I'm so glad we made a point of stopping in!

LOVE this bakery. Come here for lunch all the time. Great sandwiches, cookies, breads and their pasta features are unreal. We recently had the most amazing gnocchi in alfredo sauce with sausage. And a mushroom risotto, so flavourful and fresh and I just keep coming back.

I picked up a loaf of Calbrese bread yesterday to have with home made soup for lunch today, two people and the large loaf is half gone......I think that rates as 5*.

Almond butter cream cakes, meringues, bread, croissants, Columba, the list goes on. Same love today I had for it when I was little. Delicious and an "institution" in the city!

Awesome coffee and treats! Excellent breakfast sandwich and coffee spot.

We had to stop by and pick up some Italian cookies for our trip - they were great! It was nice speaking to the grandson of the founder.

Stopped today en route to the airport and decided to surprise our neighbours in Cowichan with some delicious bread.
Asked for4 large loaves of unbleached white - sliced.
Got the same eye roll and look of disgust from the counter server as I got last time I drove by and decided to stop.
Delighted to see them back in business ..
Said she then, when I ordered six loaves, sliced, to delight the neighbours in faraway Cowichan," Can you at least phone ahead?! It's a weekday!"
Today I got the same eye roll and look of disdain and was told I needed to phone ahead because it was a WEEKEND!
Are you not in business to sell bread ?
Do not most people prefer it sliced?
Maybe get another slicer and spare me the eye roll and disdain when I ask to buy multiples of the product you are purporting to sell.
Seriously.
Hire new staff.
