A Sonoma County Tradition
Franco American is the oldest established bakery in the North Bay. We bake artisan bread every day, and we have been doing so for over a century. It has been in the Bastoni family for three generations, since 1900. Our famous Sourdough Bread is still made from the same starter recipe that we used when we began. Franco American Bakery also operates under the name Mezzaluna Bakery. Mezzaluna has over 10 varieties by itself, including Focaccia, Ciabatta and Pane Lievitato.
