What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate featured Rito's Bakery & Deli, a Cleveland-area Italian bakery founded by Santo Rito in 1965 and known for cannoli voted among Cleveland's best. The bakery later relocated from the city to the suburbs, and its official website, ritosbakery.com, now identifies its shop at 1930 Pearl Road in Brunswick, Ohio as the business's home base. The same site references a November 17, 2023 appearance on WKYC's New Day Cleveland and, as viewed 2026-09-07, carries an active online ordering cart, wedding-cake consultation booking, and a banner announcing operational changes beginning August 1. Yelp separately lists two other Rito's addresses, in Parma and in Brunswick, as permanently closed, but neither listing matches the address or ongoing online activity shown on the bakery's own site, suggesting outdated Yelp entries rather than a business closure.
