The story
Fornetto, a bakery in the centre of Vigevano with a 4.5-star rating, draws high praise from local food reviewer Franchino Er Criminale. He calls it a "great bakery" with "honest prices and excellent quality," awarding it a "solid 9-." The reviewer particularly singles out the ciccioli focaccia as a standout.
The bakery’s menu includes a simple focaccia, a vegetable-filled rustico, a girella with bitter jam, and a fagottino di mele. But it’s the ciccioli focaccia—crispy, pork-ribboned bread—that seems to define the Fornetto experience. A neighborhood favorite for takeout or a casual stop, it’s the kind of spot that justifies a detour.

AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Fornetto’s focaccia semplice earns rapturous praise for its airy, olive-oil-kissed perfection, while the overall vibe is one of rustic, unpretentious warmth that feels like a genuine Italian home kitchen.
“This simple focaccia is a bit anaemic underneath, but the top is well-baked. The dough is good but it doesn't taste of anything — no seasoning, very little oil, completely bland. It's a low focaccia, it melts in your mouth, but it's just okay, a decent product.”

Dishes mentioned
- Focaccia
Rustico con Verdure
A savoury pastry filled with mixed vegetables — peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, onion, aubergine. It's full of veggies, good flavour, but the vegetables released some water so it's a bit soggy. Still good though.
Girella con Confettura Amara
A beautiful rolled pastry with a bitter jam — the bitterness of the jam balances the sweetness of the pastry. Very good. Some parts were a bit undercooked though.
- Fagottino di Mele
