The story
Tucked away on Via Marco Polo in Vercelli, Il Casereccio is a tiny deli-bakery that earns a near-perfect 4.8-star rating by keeping things simple and homemade. It’s the kind of no-frills neighborhood spot where the lab-made items are few but focused—and, according to creator Franchino Er Criminale, the real standout is the homemade pear and chocolate tart. He calls it “excellent” in his *Forni criminali VERCELLI* review, and that single endorsement, paired with a menu that also includes a Focaccia Bianca, suggests a kitchen that knows exactly what it does best.
With tags like #local-spot and #neighborhood-favorite, Il Casereccio feels like a quiet gem rather than a destination. It’s a grocery store at heart, but the baked goods clearly steal the show. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick slice or taking home a whole tortino, this is the kind of place that rewards a little curiosity—and a sweet tooth.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers call Il Casereccio’s focaccia bianca a revelation, praising its airy crumb and salty, olive-oil gloss. The overall vibe is rustic warmth, with food that feels both humble and masterfully executed.
“This focaccia is a bit damp and flaky, not bad but it doesn't make sense to come to Vercelli just for this. It's from a lab, not made here. I spent €1.50 for two pieces.”

This is really good — my favorite combination. The pastry is flaky, well-baked, the filling is abundant with pear and chocolate. You can taste the pear and the chocolate, the sugar is just right, not too sweet. It's a 9/10. The owner said his 83-year-old mother made it at home. I'd buy a whole counter of these.
