How a small Italian bakery grew into a 90-year-old family legacy

By: SARAH GUDENAU

When Virginia Stolarski first visited Jim Bommarito's Dolceria-Palermo in 1965, she was looking to try the subs her friends and neighbors had raved about. Little did she know, she’d meet her future friends and neighbors. 

The legacy of the family bakery is now continued by a third generation: sisters Christine Corrado, Roseanne Valenti, and Grace Adams. Their grandfather, Jim Bommarito — who emigrated from Terrasini in Sicily, Italy — and his wife Rose started the business in Detroit in 1925.
