Sal was born in Sicily, immigrating to the United States where he started his career in baking at Motta's Bakery, located in Hartford's Italian South End. In July of 1985, Sal realized he had found his calling and, when the opportunity arose, he bought Motta's Bakery. Baking makes me happy, he says. When you love what you do, it's not work. On April 1, 1996, Sal found his way to Plainville here he opened Mangiafico's Bakery & Pastry Shoppe with the help of his three loving children. The bakery has been a staple to the community every since. You can't miss the green, white and red roof.
