Gentile's Bakery - Catering & Deli: Authentic Italian Delights in Parma, OH

Mama Mia! Walking into this place is like waking into a deli in Sicily. The scent of fresh tomatoes hits you when you walk in the door and then your eyes move toward the abundance of focaccia breads and pizzas on display. For just $2.00 you can get a piping hot slice of Sicilian cheese pizza. With those prices, don't feel you have to only eat one! As you walk past this area, you move to the bakery. Cannoli, strudel, biscotti, breads, you name it, they have it. Continuing along the edge of the store you can get all the meats and cheeses you want fresh cut from the deli. There is also a small frozen foods section for you to have pasta on hand for those last minute meals. And don't forget a jar of fresh sauce for the pantry. Whether you're catering a meal for a large group, getting a cake for a celebration, or just running in for a slice or a deli sandwich, Gentiles has you covered.

This place is fantastic. I have tried several items but the meatball sub was excellent. Food is great, service is excellent and price is quite reasonable.

Some of the best tasting Italian deli food in Cuyahoga county. Very engaging staff who take the time to explain the many offerings at Gentiles.

Picked up a Tiramisu for my wife's birthday. Very pricey - but absolutely huge - and the best I've ever had!! Everything else in the store looked fantastic too - can't wait to go back.

Wow!! What an experience. Gentiles has by the finest bakery around. The bread is outstanding. Home makes pasta is absolutely delicious and the sandwiches are served on fresh baked bread. The portions are great. They have a deluxe deli of cold cuts and olives. The sweets the offer are fresh baked every day and are out of this world!!! This place is a must try!!

Everyone loved the food at our wedding! We had appetizers, two kinds of pasta, 3 sides and a salad. We also ordered tiramisu cake and coconut bars as part of the dessert tables. Everything looked and tasted delicious! It would have helped to have one designated person we could communicate with leading up to the wedding. There were 3 different people who took our order, and I was a bit stressed that something would be missed. One of our main dishes turned from angel hair + alfredo to chicken alfredo, so that was a surprise at the reception, because we printed all the food labels and we marked it as vegetarian. Overall, however, we had a great experience with Gentile's catering. Pictures for reference.

This place has the best Italian bread. Get there early or they sell out by mid-day. All breads are good! Pizza is good as well. Thicker bread like square crust. But good. Pastries are good as well. Lots of variety. They also have prepared foods. I never got any of the salads or prepared foods. Kinda pricey so I never bought. They look great. I'm sure they taste good. They have freezer food as well to take home and make or defrost. Also never bought. But looks good. Again, a bit pricey for me. Staff is friendly. Very helpful. You can tell it's very family oriented. Which is nice and I like. Place is not too big and plenty of parking. No place to really sit and eat. More of a go in and take home. Try it. You'll like it.

Can only speak for our one visit to snag some bakery items. If I was local I would try it again! We chose a cassata cake and assortment of cookies. The service was very helpful. Fast and friendly The cake was around $30. It was tasty! I do wish it had more strawberry in filling!

Located right on Broadview Road, this classic Italian bakery offers some delicious pastries, fresh baked breads, and sweet sensations all under one roof. In the mood for some casada cake or tiramisu, they have it! How about some cannolis - you bet! The interior is spacious with a variety of other products to suit ones taste buds (e.g., chocolate, wine, candy, pasta). The service was also friendly and the wait time was minimal despite being a small line. Overall, this place doesn't disappoint and is well worth a visit!
