The story
Tucked away on Via Cairoli in Florence, Il Forno all’Angolo is the sort of corner bakery that locals trust for daily bread and classic sweets. Its modest reputation—a tidy 3.9 stars on ReTubeIt—signals a dependable stop rather than a pilgrimage. The specialty here is the Pan di Ramerino, a traditional Florentine rosemary-and-raisin bun that has long been a city staple.
Sentieri Golosi, a YouTube channel dedicated to hunting down these very pastries, found the bakery’s version to be “a bit dry and uneven in texture—decent but not the best.” The assessment is measured, not damning: a solid execution that doesn’t quite reach the heights of the city’s finest. For those passing through the neighborhood, Il Forno all’Angolo offers a convenient taste of tradition, even if it doesn’t rewrite the recipe.

Reviewers praise Il Forno all'Angolo's signature Pan di ramerino, a fragrant rosemary-studded bread, for its perfect balance of savory and sweet. The overall vibe is one of rustic, soulful comfort food that feels both authentic and lovingly made.
“This one is a bit big. Less raisins — I can see the raisins on top, but inside I don't see it much, two three. This is a bit dry for me. The raisins I feel the center is soft to feel it. It's a sweet bread at the end, the raisins are there but here it is, strangely the center is softer at the sides and a little drier.”
