The Story Behind the Name
Tony Park carried his grandmother's Sicilian recipes to Times Square, where he built a bakery named after his daughter, Angelina.
Angelina Bakery | Our Story
Nonna Anna's Kitchen
Antonio "Tony" Park was born Korean and raised by an Italian family in Palermo, Sicily. His grandmother Giuliana — everyone called her Anna — taught him to bake the way Sicilians always have: by hand, by feel, by memory, never by book.
A Dream on Times Square
Tony left Italy in his twenties, recipes in his head and nothing guaranteed. In late 2018, he opened Angelina Bakery.
Named for His Daughter
The bakery is named Angelina after the person who matters most to Tony — his daughter. That's not a marketing angle. It's why everything here is made with genuine care.
The Transparent Laboratory
The kitchen is open by design — watch the bakers laminating dough, filling bomboloni, shaping the Brissant™. The New York Times called the cheese focaccia "so nice, you'll eat it twice."
New York, On Our Terms
From one Midtown counter to eight locations, Angelina earned TripAdvisor's top bakery ranking and the Star Diamond Award — without changing what it is.
Tony's Story
Born Korean, raised Italian, became a New Yorker. Don't judge my face — judge our food.
