A Little Bit About Us!

Chris & Assunta Corpora have a passion for baking and cooking - a tradition in their large Italian families. Chris is 50% second-generation Sicilian; his family is from Palermo and Messina.  Assunta is first-generation Italian-American; her family is from Picerno, Italy.

On June 1, 2005, they purchased an established bakery on Route 1 in Searsport, Maine, and moved from New Jersey to open the doors of Abbracci on July 19, 2005.

Abbracci translates as “embraces”, or “hugs” in Italian.

Company History

When Abbracci first opened in 2005 it was primarily a bakery that offered lunch items such as pizza, calzones, salads, and sandwiches.

As the customer base grew, and their needs were assessed, Abbracci began offering dinner entrees in October of 2006. 

Based on the needs and demands of our loyal customers.  Starting December 31, 2008 we will be offering special items online.  Check out the menu page.
