“Palazzone 1960” might sound like any other Italian bakery, but the name is actually a mini family history: owner Giancarlo Palazzone named the Wayne bakery after his parents, Remo and Julia, Italian immigrants who’d come to the U.S. and opened a bakery in Clifton in 1960.

Remo and Julia eventually returned to Italy to raise their kids, but when their son Giancarlo returned to the United States in 2012—called here, as he tells it, since he was a little boy—he decided to name the second family bakery in honor of the first.
