The story
Tucked away on Via Bernardino Galliari in Torino’s San Salvario, Bertino is the kind of old-school bakery that feels like a secret worth traveling for. YouTube creator Franchino Er Criminale calls it a contender for Europe’s oldest bakery, serving focaccias that are “unlike anything else — crunchy, oily, and full of flavor.” With a near-perfect 4.9-star rating, it’s a beloved local institution.
The focaccia selection is the draw. Franchino highlights three standouts: the Focaccia con Cipolle Rosse, the Focaccia con Patate, Porri e Cipolle, and the Focaccia con Peperoni, Olive e Acciughe. Each is distinctively textured and boldly flavored—exactly the kind of high-quality, unfussy baking that makes a neighborhood spot essential.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about Bertino’s Focaccia con cipolle rosse, calling it a must-order. The overall vibe is warm, rustic, and deeply satisfying.
“This focaccia has a very crunchy, almost biscuit-like crust, and it's quite oily. The red onions are cooked perfectly — they know their craft. There are salt crystals and a bit of oregano. It's a unique product you can only find here, not like other focaccias. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10, maybe even a 9 minus.”

Focaccia con Patate, Porri e Cipolle
This one has potatoes, leeks, and onions — a deadly combo. The leek and onion together are incredible. The bottom is well-cooked, it's a high-quality product. It's a pleasure to eat this.
Focaccia con Peperoni, Olive e Acciughe
Beautiful and well-made. The anchovy is fantastic as a flavor boost. Everything is done right. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10, but this is something you can only find here — it's unique.
