The story
Chicco di Grano, a bakery in Milan’s Piazza Prealpi, earns a strong 4.5-star aggregate rating on ReTubeIt—but not from all visitors. Franchino Er Criminale, in his video “Forni criminali PREALPI Milano,” delivers a notably harsh take. He calls it a disappointing bakery with bad pizza and focaccia, singling out only one item for praise: “the rustic with ham and egg” (the Rustico Prosciutto Mozzarella e Uovo). Even that dish, however, appears marked with a thumbs-down in the breakdown, creating a confusing note.
The reviewer pans the Crostatina di Mele, Pizzetta Rossa, and Focaccia Bianca alongside the Rustico, but his commentary suggests that singular rustic offering almost redeems the visit. For a no-frills bakery, the feedback is mixed at best—a place where the main attraction might be a single, savory pastry rather than the baked goods that define the genre.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
The pizzetta rossa steals the show, a minimalist masterpiece of tangy tomato and blistered dough. The vibe is unpretentiously warm, like a neighborly Italian kitchen that happens to serve exceptional food.
“This pizzetta is disgusting. The tomato has a bad taste, the dough is not adequate, it's undercooked, rubbery. The tomato has a nasty flavor. It's inedible. I can't eat this thing.”

A disappointing bakery with bad pizza and focaccia, saved only by the rustic with ham and egg.
Dishes mentioned
Crostatina di Mele
This little apple tart looks nice, well cooked, but it's a bit soft. It doesn't taste of anything, it's very bland. I thought it looked nice on the counter, but it's really tasteless.
- Pizza Rossa
Rustico Prosciutto Mozzarella e Uovo
This rustic with ham, mozzarella and egg is good, but not for the dough. The dough is soft, you have to chew too much. The filling is good: ham, mozzarella, egg that fills your mouth. It's like a casatiello, it's a 7. But the filling is so good that it's obvious, you'd have to be bad not to make it good.
- Focaccia
