Alvaro Bread & Pastry Shoppe in uptown Harrisburg will soon have two stops for its Italian pastries and pastas. In the coming months, Alvaro will open a larger outpost at 4715 N. Front St. in Susquehanna Township near the Glass Lounge Restaurant, said Vincenzo Alvaro, a manager.
“To be honest, we’ve been looking for five to seven years,” he said, adding the family’s business has outgrown the original shop at 236 Peffer St. No opening date is set because Alvaro said delivery of supplies, such as a railing for a handicap entrance and a steel door, are behind schedule due to supply chain issues. He estimates the restaurant will open by the end of this year or early 2023.
