The story
Tucked away on Via Negroli, Il Pane di una Voita carries a solid 4.3-star reputation, but a recent visit from Franchino Er Criminale of *Forni criminali ARGONNE Milano* revealed an uneven performance. He called the pizzette and the focaccina semplice tonda “disappointing,” while noting the crostatina “was good.” Franchino gave the bread “the benefit of the doubt,” emphasizing that the bakery’s core mission is loaves, not grab-and-go snacks.
That review suggests a split identity: the bread counter holds real promise, but the prepared items fall short. All three dishes Franchino tried were marked down, signaling caution for pastries and light bites. For purists after a simple, well-made loaf, this local spot may still deliver—just approach the rest with tempered expectations.

A bakery specialized in bread, but the pizzette and focaccia were disappointing. The tartlet was good. I give the benefit of the doubt to the bread, but for what I ate, it's a low score.
Dishes mentioned
Pizzetta
This pizzetta is a bit hard, a bit undercooked. Honestly, it's hard. The tomato and mozzarella topping doesn't impress me, the ingredients aren't good.
Focaccina Semplice Tonda
This simple focaccia is also hard. It's strange, because outside it's biscuit-like, inside it's still a bit undercooked. The dough itself isn't bad, but... no.
Crostatina
This tartlet has a nice face, it's well baked. The jam is just sugar, but the shortcrust pastry is exactly the type I like: hard, crunchy, perfectly baked. The jam is not the worst, it's decent. This is good.
