Nuccio Scuderi emigrated from Italy to the United States with a solid background in baking and a desire to be his own boss.
He achieved that when he opened Etna Pastry Shoppe on Lyell Avenue in Gates 36 years ago. The bakery has been going strong since, with a loyal clientele flocking to Etna for the cannoli, pastries, cakes, cookies and breads baked on site.
