Our Story

A bakery that feels like coming home.

Il Mulino Di Valenzano Bakery has been a fixture in Franklin Park for years — a place where the smell of fresh bread greets you at the door and every pastry is made with the same care your grandmother would approve of.

We import our flour directly from Italy, use traditional methods passed down through generations, and bake in small batches throughout the day so everything you pick up is as fresh as it gets. No shortcuts, no compromises — just honest Italian baking done right.
