Roma Bakery

But the items that really brought the customers in the door were the delicious baked goods. As Kansas City continued to grow, more and more restaurants and grocery stores popped up around the city, too. It wasnt long before the tables of many private homes and fine restaurants plus the shelves of the largest grocery stores featured Roma Bakery products. The Roma name was synonymous with high quality and the use of old-world baking techniques and recipes. And it still is! In 1990, Marco Filardo, president of Roma Bakery and the founders son, sold the bakery to a third generation of Filardos, his sons, John and Carl. In partnership with their uncle, Mike Quarrato, the Filardo brothers were determined to maintain the high quality bakery products, strong work ethic, and customer loyalty for which the Roma Bakery was known. Although crusty Italian breads remained the foundation of the bakerys business, the partners decided to expand their product line by producing dinner rolls, hamburger buns, Kaiser buns, rye bread, and other bakery goods. Tragedy struck in 1992 when the Roma Bakery was destroyed by fire. But that fire did not destroy the familys dream of providing Kansas City residents with the finest, high-quality bread products. At this time, another milestone in the bakerys history was reached when a special business relationship was formed with Rotellas Italian Bakery in Omaha, Nebraska a relationship that continues strong today. Based on the dreams of three, young Italian immigrants to America, who wanted to share their childhood memories of breaking bread at the family dinner table with their new friends and neighbors, the Roma Bakery is still known for high-quality bakery goods that are produced by using the baking techniques and recipes of the old world. The Roma Bakery family looks forward to sharing our tradition of fine bakery goods supported by excellent service with you soon.
