Our name Rende, comes from a small village outside the capital city of Cosenza the capital of Calabria. Located in the Southern Tip of Italy. In 1967, my father Orlando opened Rende Bakery in Toronto and specialized in Double Baked Calabrese Bread and it was a major hit all over the city. My mother Lina enjoyed the kitchen as well, cooking up the tastes of Napoli for our family like pasta frittata & espresso infused desserts in her Calabrese cuisine.
My Grandma started it all and that’s why I think it’s important to continue her tradition. The pictures on our walls show the cultural history of my family and our love for food. Every recipe has been carefully chosen and is plated as if my own Grandma Angela was preparing it for my family and I. Her kitchen was her office and her passion would be to feed you until you were stuffed to the brim.
Grandma Angela DePaola created fresh family secrets of tomato sauces like Baccala (cod fish with potatoes). She embraced old school traditional recipes and cooked her famous 5 hour tomato sauce fresh each day. From the time I was 6 years old, she would instill the tastes of Calabria into my head while teaching me how to cook. I have dined all around the world but nothing beats the old school Italian cooking and fresh herb flavours from her hometown Rende, Calabria.
Our wonderful Chef Michael has perfected all our classic family recipes and together with his exceptional culinary delicious creations (and Momma Lina hanging around the kitchen) we bring the taste of Southern Italy, Calabria & Napoli to your table.
Enjoy and Salute!
Welcome to the Family!
