Pastry, Gypsy dancing, and Scott Baio all feature prominently in this independent romantic comedy from Pittsburgh, which focuses on the relationship between three brothers and an elderly Italian couple. Dominic (Baio), Eddie (Billy Mott), and Pino (Shuler Hensley) are brothers who have little in common aside from the bakery they own together. Dominic works for a management firm and specializes in firing people; Pino is mentally handicapped; and Eddie is a womanizer. The brothers are close friends with Massimo and Bella, the Italian couple who live upstairs, and when Dominic learns that Bella is sick, he decides to do whatever he can to make her feel better. This includes a full-fledged attempt to get Massimo and Bella's errant daughter Lucca to come home for Christmas. This being a romantic comedy, it doesn't take long for Dominic to realize that he has other motives for wanting Lucca to come home, motives that don't have a great deal to do with Bella's health. The Bread, My Sweet was screened at the 2002 Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide
Scott Baio stars in this romantic comedy drama, which has been given a sturdy presentation for its release on DVD. A Wedding for Bella has been given a full-screen transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The dialogue is in English, with no multiple-language options included, though the feature has been closed captioned for the hearing-impaired. A selection of deleted scenes and cast filmographies have been included as bonus material. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A very good performance all around. I liked the story and felt the drama of death but also the love that would bloom out of it. I was really shocked by the performance that Scott Baio did. It was amazingly good.

I watched this just to see how Scoot Baio was aging. This was a great movie, great chemistry between the two leads. Great story. You wont be disappointed.

A surprisingly sweet movie about love and food with Scott Baio in the leading man role. He really impressed me with his understated but heartfelt performance.
