The story
Fratelli Ricci, a traditional Milano bakery on Via Fratelli Zoia, holds a solid ★4.6 rating but earns a decidedly measured take from local creator Franchino Er Criminale. He calls it a “decent neighborhood bakery” while warning it is “not worth going out of your way for,” noting that another spot ten minutes away is “much better.” The menu features classic Italian pastries including Pizzetta Rossa, Frittatine di Zucchine e Carote, Brioche al Cioccolato, and Brioche con Marmellata.
Tagged as a neighborhood favorite, Fratelli Ricci seems best suited for a quick local fix rather than a destination visit. Franchino’s endorsement suggests the baked goods are perfectly fine for those in the area, but for a more memorable experience, he points diners elsewhere. The venue embodies the comfort of a corner bakery without the wow factor that would demand a special trip across Milano.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Fratelli Ricci’s pizzetta rossa earns fervent praise as the standout dish, with reviewers celebrating the restaurant’s warm, unpretentious charm and deeply satisfying Italian comfort.
“The dough is a bit tough. The sauce has dried up. The crust is crunchy, but the middle is undercooked. The seasoning is well salted. I prefer the other focaccia, which was crunchier.”

Decent neighborhood bakery, but not worth going out of your way for. The other place 10 minutes away is much better.
Dishes mentioned
- Pizzetta
Frittatine di Zucchine e Carote
They looked good and tempted me. They're very delicate, not greasy at all. Well cooked, nice appearance.
- Brioche
Brioche con Marmellata
This is sold as a brioche with jam, but it's empty. The dough inside is a bit raw. You can't taste the jam at all.
