Pastry shop and bakery · since 1978

Yeast is in no hurry.

Croissants laminated by hand every night, cakes made to order, bread with a sourdough starter older than my son. We open at half six, and you can smell it from the street.

The bakery’s bread
The workshop

It starts
at three in the morning

My father opened in 1978 with an oven and two shop windows. The windows are still the same, and we changed the oven only once. What hasn’t changed is the hour: at three the lights come on in the workshop.

We make a few things and make them every day. If something sells out, it’s gone: we don’t keep anything from one day to the next.

Where we are

Via Italia 44 — Bologna

A hundred metres from the cathedral, under the arcades. Parking in Piazza Trento.
