Where can I get good Italian bread in Wilmington? (Kure Beach: transplants, beach)

[curlygc]

I am looking for really good Italian bread. Heavy, crusty, dense, covered with sesame seeds, like the kind you get in NYC and some parts of Northern NJ. A place that makes semolina bread would also be a plus. I've tried Apple Annie's bread and it's no better than the bread my mom gets at her local NJ supermarket. Not bad, but not worth driving from Kure Beach for a loaf.

So, for all you NY/NJ transplants... where do you go for bread around here?

I am not a NY/NJ transplant, but A Taste of Italy is good.

Mmm. Panera's tomato basil bread is the best ever.
