I bought multiple items and sampled them all. I bought a spinach pie for a relative and the quote was: "The BEST spinach pie I have had." The pizza, meatball balls (whatever you call it), and their bread was perfect. Pastries galore, however, they need a chocolate chip cookie... I accidentally thought it was on but it was gingerbread!!!

It is St. Joseph's Day. I have never had a zeppola and it's about time I did. So off we went to…read morestand in line at The Original Italian Bakery. The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

Might be the least expensive bakery in RI right now, crazy low prices!!!…read more Their huge cinnamon bun is only $2.50! I also got an oatmeal cranberry raisin butterscotch cookie for $1.85. It was very large, but thin. Not how I prefer my cookies but it was good with a homemade warmth to it. My favorite dessert I got was a peach crisp danish-like item for $1.95. It had nice flaky layers, was large for the price and the peach filling was perfect. My only gripe was the cinnamon bun was too dry. Only the very middle was moist, it needed more butter throughout. They have tons of desserts and full sized cakes for all under $28. Great value here.

The spinach pie was so good that I will have to order one ever I drive by! The black olives are better than any I've ever had. The spinach is soft and tender, packed with flavor and the pepperoni just sends it home! The pizza was also very good. The crust is very airy with no char, it holds firm with all of those toppings. The crust is thin with a little char. The sauce, cheese and toppings are phenomenal. It is actually better reheated because the crust gets foldable. They do sell hot pizza by the slice and they do sell a lot of it.

Whether you're picking up a loaf for dinner or grabbing pastries for a family gathering, you can taste the difference. The staff is another reason I keep coming back. The women behind the counter are always friendly, patient, and genuinely pleasant to deal with. Even when the bakery is busy, they keep things moving while making customers feel welcome. What I love most is that Buono's still feels like an old-school Rhode Island Italian bakery. It hasn't lost its identity. Walking through the door feels like stepping into a piece of the Rhode Island many of us grew up with, where quality mattered, recipes were passed down through generations, and people took pride in what they made. It's absolutely worth the drive, even if you're coming from the other side of the state. Five stars without hesitation.
