Bova's Bakery

Bova's Bakery is a bakery in the North End of Boston, United States.

History

Founded by Italian immigrant Antonio Bova on Salem Street (but across the street from its current location) in 1926,[1] they specialized only in bread. It eventually added booths, becoming a diner before removing them. By the 1990s, they added more substantial meals like rice balls, pizzas and calzones.[2]

Another source says they opened in 1932.[3]

Antonio's five sons worked in the business with two eventually selling their shares of the business.[2]

Current operations

The bakery is open 24 hours a day.[2]

In March 2023, they closed down for a week so Matt Damon and Casey Affleck they could film The Instigators.[4][5]

Their tiramisu was voted the best in the United States.[1]

An Irish tourist, in 2012, brandished a knife and demanded a cannoli.[6]
