Rito’s Bakery & Deli

Over ten years ago I got a cassata cake for my graduation party. It was very good but I’m sure recipes have changed since then. I’ve never been inside the Ritos located here in Brunswick but I have been to the one in Parma and they told me that Brunswick Rito’s makes the cakes and delivers them to Parma so that’s why I am reviewing the one in Brunswick. I have a funny story. I ordered a cake for my sister in laws baby shower. The cake was a pregnant belly and boobs obviously covered up by a shirt. The cake looked great and tasted good but I realized as soon as I picked it up that they added a neck and just a little of the upper chest (the picture I sent them didn’t have a neck but no big deal) in which they made the skin Caucasian. I thought to myself, «I ordered over the phone so how do they know she or I was not black or Hispanic?» Lol its funny but if I was not Caucasian it would definitely NOT have been funny. Anyone could have not thought to ask that when ordering but when making the cake the baker should have stopped and had someone put in a phone call to see. Someone would be more offended by making the wrong race cake than just double checking their race so the cake is to their liking. I’ve owned a home bakery for two years now and I have learned from this experience to always ask lol and no one has ever been offended only appreciative. The only pastry I’ve had from them are their cannoli’s and baklava which are both amazing! Oh and I ordered a zebra sheet cake three years ago and it was decorated as I asked and tasted good too. I will add a picture to Unilocal

Rito’s made the wedding cake for my wedding day. It tasted good, but they spelled my husband’s name wrong on the two mini heart cakes that sat in front of the larger cake. His name is «Jeffrey» and they spelled it «Jeffery». I would not use them again for big events like a wedding because I feel like this is a big deal and they are not detail oriented. For smaller events, I would buy their pastries, but would find someone more detailed for major life events.

A great place for a good, reasonably priced lunch. For the same price, or cheaper, as fast food you can get great deli-​type sandwiches and sides. Also a great bakery! I can’t leave without something sweet to eat!

Unless you enjoy your baked goods dry and distasteful, look for somewhere else to buy your daughters birthday cake because you’ll be soon to give your child the worst birthday ever just by giving them a slice of cake from Rito’s Bakery.

Excellent bakery — this place was hopping over the holidays. We got tons of Christmas cookies and nut bread. Nice people — also they have a nice selection of deli foods

As other have said their display cases look amazing but the items don’t taste so great. We got an assortment of cookies and cakes by the slice to split with three people. Oreo, tiramisu, neapolitan, and cassata. All of the cakes were stale except the Oreo, but the topping on it was not very good. Our cookies were dry and stale too and we could not figure out the flavors. Very disappointing, I would not recommend them.

Good bakery. Bakeries like this a getting harder to find. Can be busy. Deli selection and packaged foods good. Bakery items could be better and can be pricey. Bread a good value

It’s billed as a bakery and I go there and don’t buy bakery items. We’ll proceed from there.
I like their hot pepper salad, choices of Italian cold cuts (eg hot Sopressata) and some jarred sauces (eg their caponata). A few cookies or canolli here and there were typical fare, not great but acceptable.
The folks have always been friendly. Today I got there right after closing and she unlocked the door to let me in. Very nice. While checking out I saw her head swinging to the Louie Prima song. «Can’t resist?» «Nope and I listen all day!» My sort of folks.

Bought a couple dozen Ponschkis for Fat Tuesday, everyone LOVED them at the office. Absolutely no complaints!!!

The food looks delicious and tasty… but tasty it is not. I don’t know how this place is able to display thier food so well that it looks excellent but the actual flavor can range from cardboard to so-​so.
When this place first opened, it wasn’t that bad. Their bakery treats like the cookies and brownies were freshly cooked and worth the drive. However, it seems that Rito’s got lazy and decided to stop really caring about thier customers or thier business. Maybe their will be a turn around… but this raunchy bistro is reaching its end.

Used Rito’s for a family party. Deli tray was excellent! The gigantic cannoli filled with cannolis was a favorite. The cake was fresh and decorated to perfection. There was not a crumb leftover. Can’t wait for the next family party!

They have a nice display and everything looks delicious, however it doesn’t taste that good. I had a cassata cake and it wasn’t fresh. The homemade bread is probably the best thing they have going for them. Also during both of my visits the workers were arguing with each other which made it awkward. Sometimes it seems like you are bothering them when they are helping you.

Gee, the cookies and cakes look gorgeous, but you just don’t know what is fresh. We had a tasty Chinese cookie, but the brownie was dry – I’m not sure how old it was, but it was certainly not baked that day. And the calzones are strange… ham, salami, pepperoni in this case do not go with tomato sauce.
