A longtime Italian bakery known especially for its sub and sandwich rolls will return after an almost a three-year absence. Martusciello Boutique Bakery will open at 2280 Lyell Ave. in Gates in early 2025. "I have my whole life invested in that business," said Frank Martusciello, 70.

Gaetano and Maria Martusciello, Frank's parents, started baking and selling breads out of their home on Saratoga Avenue in the late 1950s. Gaetano had learned the baking trade while growing up just outside Naples, Italy. Frank started working in the bakery at age 16, and took over business when Gaetano retired. He added a wholesale business and also added pizzas, calzones, subs and sweet treats in the retail shop.
