My family has patroned the Scardina Bakery in West Allis on 59th and Beloit for years leading back to my grandfather an now with my children. I know for a fact that customers confuse Sciortinos with Scardina Bakery as the two names are similar. I feel that On Milwaukee needs to recognize bakeries outside the East Side area. I would like to know how the poll was taken as West Allis patrons would give a strong backing to Scardina Bakery as I am sure neighbors would do for their local bakeries. When I do go to Scardinas Bakery from my home in Racine, I often buy two loaves of bread one sliced and one non-sliced but the funny thing is by the time I get home we have the sliced loaf eaten.

Bakeries are a very neighborhood thing. Because OMC thinks everyone lives downtown or on the east side Sciotino's is an obvious choice, however, prbly not the best.

Nino's Italian Bakery in Menomonee Falls far exceeds Sciortino's, and the people that work at Nino's are actually friendly!
