The best bakeries Italy

In his bakery in the center of Burano, a small, old-fashioned and deliciously vintage shop, for many years Giorgio Garbo has known the secret of making the best bussolà or buranelli of the lagoon (sold in retail or in small, practical bags for gifts). You'll smell the fragrance of these delicious little cookies, either S-shaped or ring-shaped, right at the end of the street. All the cakes and pastries are made the old-fashioned way. We also like the meringues, the almond tarts and the apple strudels. Charming welcome.

Traditional focaccias, pizzas, salted pies, but also amaretti biscuits and other local pastry products. This little piece of equipment will not disappoint you.

Dream bakery! Here's the ideal spotto indulge your sweet tooth and bite into a creamy focaccia drenched in olive oil, right on the seafront in Monterosso. For it's their focaccias in particular that have made their reputation, so divine are they... Pizzas are also served in the evening. You can either take your picnic and sit a few meters away, facing the sea, or simply take advantage of the small tables provided. In short, this isn't just any bakery...

This friendly bakery near the port offers a wide range of sweet and savoury treats to take away, starting with focaccia secca, but also gourmet pastries, from pandolce alla Genovese to camogliesi al rhum. This Camogli specialty resembles a large chocolate boulder, dusted with powdered sugar and filled with a rum-based cream. For a quick lunch on the beach or out for a stroll, enjoy creamy focaccia, plain, with cheese or onions, thin slices of pizza, savory vegetable pies and many other delights.

L'Antico Forno ai Serpenti is a pizzeria located in the Monti district of Rome. It's one of the area's historic stores, offering a variety of delights from bread and cookies to pizzas and desserts. The restaurant offers focacce, pizze, but also good crostate alle visciole, a cherry pie. Ideal for a quick bite to eat in the Monti district! You can also have breakfast here (the cornetti and doughnuts are delicious), or an aperitif at the end of the day.

Just a stone's throw from the Carlo Felice Theatre, one of Genoa's finest focaccias, in a central location where good bakeries are rare. We recommend you start with the classic focaccia , just to get an idea. Wide choice of sweet and savoury snacks. Very good pastries. Ideal for a quick breakfast or lunch, sitting around the piazza de Ferrari watching the fountain sparkle, before heading off to via Garibaldi and its many palaces.

The history of the Jewish community in Venice has also left its mark on the restaurant business and, of course, the bakeries. Unleavened breads and kosher cakes (without milk and butter) are delicacies that Venetians frequently enjoy. The Volpe bakery, open since the 1950s, is said to be among the favorites of the rabbi of Venice. Its dry cookies such as bisse, impade(with almond paste) or zuccherini are exquisite. On the savory side, a few slices of thick pizza, olive focaccia and other unleavened breads are delicious.

A gourmet bakery renowned for serving the best focaccia in Genoa. The area is quiet, not very touristy, close to the Museo Sant'Agostino, and it's mostly local residents who help themselves here for their "daily bread". The shop windows are mouth-watering: the focaccia boards are hot out of the oven, and their fragrance wafts to the end of the street. The house specialty is focaccia alla genovese, topped with pesto, potatoes and green beans. A few stools for tasting on the spot.

This bakery in the center of Turin offers 100% natural bread, free from brewer's yeast, palm oil, preservatives, sugar and many other ingredients often used in bread-making. In fact, Panacea is part of the Filiera della Farina di Stupinigi, a social cooperative that produces flour naturally not far from Turin, and then makes bread with natural sourdough (known here as pasta madre). The staff will be delighted to explain the process to you.

Located in a discreet courtyard, Ivo De Pellegrin's bakery opens only twice a week. Ivo is dedicated to bringing bread back to its fundamentals: high-quality organic flour, pure water, homemade sourdough, and hand-harvested Sicilian salt. We recommend ordering online before picking up during opening hours. You'll also have the chance to see the production laboratory through the store window and meet Ivo in person. For lovers of good bread in Merano, this is an essential address.

A wide range of preservative-free breads, croissants, apple and walnut strudel and cake slices are available for breakfast and afternoon tea. There's also a snack bar with salads, sandwiches and a few hot dishes. A pleasant room on the second floor, with vintage decor and comfortable armchairs, is ideal for a quiet moment. A lovely terrace overlooks Appiano's main square, where you can soak up the sun on sunny days.

On Corso di Porta Romana, here's a small panificio with a tempting shop window where you'll find focaccia and pizza, as well as cookies to fill a small hunger during your visit to the district. Taste the pan meino: this tasty cookie flavored with elderflower is a Milanese specialty eaten mainly in April. In November, you can also try pan dei morti, with dried fruit, which is excellent! Beware of the bill: the products are of high quality, but the prices are a little high.

Since 1976, the Ficini family has been running this bakery, which attracts the gourmet Turinese to this street in the San Salvario district. And it's easy to see why, when you see the delicacies coming out of the ovens! It's the perfect place to pack a picnic and head to the nearby Valentino Park, to enjoy the greenery and sunshine while watching the squirrels frolic about. A word of advice: try the real grissini, especially the rye ones, but after that you won't be able to accept the industrial versions!
