Bilena & Nino Settepani

Settepani Bakery and Restaurant, with a flagship location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and a sister establishment in Harlem, is a dynamic culinary destination that operates as both wholesale and retail bakery. Chef Nino Settepani, who started his journey in the world of hospitality as a young boy when he immigrated from Sicily to the USA, built the business with his family. Along the way, he met and married Leah, the love of his life, who played a pivotal role in propelling Settepani to new heights.

Today, the torch has been passed to the next generation, with Chef Nino and Leah’s daughter, Bilena, actively involved in running the business. Bilena, a quick learner and creative spirit, is infusing new and delicious twists to traditional Italian classics. With her fresh perspective and culinary expertise, she adds her own creative touch to the Settepani legacy, delighting customers with innovative flavors and culinary experiences.
Together, the Settepani family continues to craft exceptional bakery delights and provide a delightful dining experience in both Williamsburg and Harlem, blending their rich Italian heritage with Bilena’s inventive flair. Settepani Bakery and Restaurant stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and the celebration of Italian cuisine.
