The story
Tucked away in Torino’s Via Paolo Gaidano, I Frutti del Grano is a bakery with a stellar 4.6-star average—yet local creator Franchino Er Criminale offers a more measured take. In his video “Forni criminali TORINO FINE,” he calls the spot “decent for everyday shopping” but warns it’s “not worth a special trip,” citing doughs that are often undercooked and bland.
Franchino specifically pans the Pizza Rossa, Pizzette Sfoglia, Girella con Uvetta, and Fagottino di Mele. While the neighborhood may hold it dear, his critique suggests this bakery shines more as a reliable corner stop than a destination for standout baking. For those passing through Turin, it may satisfy a quick fix—just don’t expect the crust to deliver a crunch.

Reviewers rave about the pizza rossa, a simple yet masterful pie that captures the soul of Roman baking. The overall vibe is one of humble, rustic perfection, where every bite feels like a warm embrace.
“The pizza rossa has a very soft dough, I think it's undercooked — I can see it from the bottom and from the side. The tomato isn't great either, not well cooked. Not a great start.”

Pizza Rossa
The pizza rossa has a very soft dough, I think it's undercooked — I can see it from the bottom and from the side. The tomato isn't great either, not well cooked. Not a great start.
Pizzette Sfoglia
I grabbed a handful of puff pastry pizzette. These also seem a bit anemic, undercooked. One was raw, one was good, another was half and half. They could do better.
Girella con Uvetta
This girella with raisins looks good on the outside, but inside I think it's a bit undercooked and maybe a few hours old. It's a medium-good thing, a 7.
Fagottino di Mele
The apple filling has some caramelization, but the puff pastry is a bit soft. There are too few apples inside. It's okay.
