New Paradise Bakery, opening March 26, inside the former Gladstone Park Bakery at 5742-44 N. Milwaukee Ave., will be offering a variety of bakery items and gelato, using fresh ingredients and recipes from its sister location in Palermo on the island of Sicily. “We want to be part of the neighborhood (and) also will ask (for local recommendations),”said New Paradise Bakery manager John Rubino.

As a result, New Paradise customers may find Polish, German, Irish and other cultural delights in the display cases in addition to Italian favorites, such as cannolis, panettone, mini-pizzas, calzones, arancini (rice balls with meat or cheese) and panelle (sandwiches made with chickpea flour).
