New York Times Film Critic Janet Maslin exclaimed "Ben Togati approaches his morning dough with the hands of a wizard and the soul of a poet... as he models what looks like the loveliest loaves in the world" Legendary, New Yorker Film Critic, Pauline Kael, appraising the "beautiful, modest technique," of Tony De Nonno film on PBS Television Network exclaimed- ""The film is very well made, almost impeccable",,... warm sensual, beautiful modest technique... the camera is always where it should be." Giving her nod to what Janet Maslin in the New York Times dubbed "De Nonno's deft and impressive filmmaking. Tony De Nonno is intuitively aware of the subject's uniqueness and significance to our society." With a basket full of his freshly baked golden loaves in hand, Mr. Togati ends the film by singing one of the most beloved Neapolitan Folksongs of all- "Mamma"- in a surprisingly powerful and resonant tenor voice." This aria truly mirrors Ben Togati's passion and love for making bread.
