Half Crazy After All These Years!

Welcome to the Mezzo Matto Italian Bakery LLC Homepage.
This is where you can find out information about our products and where you can find them.

Hi, this is Stephanie owner of Mezzo Matto Italian Bakery, LLC and I would like to introduce you to my family and our business. I am a fourth generation Sicilian baker. I grew up in my grandfathers bakery in New Orleans at 1733 McShane Place. I always knew I would follow in my grandfather's footsteps. I absolutely loved being at the bakery, surrounded by family(never a dull moment surrounded by a bunch of Sicilians). Now I work with my husband and two sons, just the smell of the fresh baked cookies coming out of the oven, take me back to some of my fondest childhood memories. We opened our first bakery in Chalmette Louisiana, Vincent Brocato & Daughter in April of 2003. On August 29th 2005 Hurricane Katrina changed our whole life. We lost our home and our business. When we had our bakery in Chalmette we had a customer from Montana who frequently had to come to St. Bernard to do business. He would bring me information on Montana and joke, saying that we should open a bakery there. We would laugh about it. We had evacuated to Arkansas for Hurricane Katrina, the kids were just 9 and 12 at the time. In the evenings we would all go into the lobby of the hotel we were staying at and watch the news and our oldest son would check the news on the internet on a kiosk in the lobby, or so we thought. Zachary had struck up a friendship with a local businessman in Bozeman. We couldn't believe he did this so, we called his newly acquired friend to apologize and he invited the whole family to Montana. It was a crazy thing to do but, we couldn't go home so, we drove to Bozeman. "Sparky" who owned the Winn-Gate hotel was gracious enough to let us stay there until we could find a permanent residence. I put the kids in school right away and started to look for a place to put the bakery. We opened our bakery "Mezzo Matto"(which means half crazy in Italian) in April. The people of Montana were wonderful and supportive of our business. After living in Bozeman for four years, we received some terrible family news. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Our family needed to relocate back to Louisiana to help the family through this difficult time. It was a bittersweet moment to be returning "home" but to be leaving "home" as well. We moved to Pearl River, Louisiana and reopened the bakery. Since then, we have operated commercially to supply stores in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast with our Italian cookies. We are also launching our website soon so that we can meet the needs of all of our customers across the United States.
