The story
Le Bontà di Safan, a small bakery on Milan’s Via Carlo Farini, earns a solid 4.7 stars for its warm service and reliably decent baked goods. Franchino Er Criminale, in his video “Forni criminali zona FARINI Milano,” calls the staff “very kind” and finds both the focaccia and simple brioche acceptable — though he notes the cream-filled brioche had “barely any cream.”
For those craving a straightforward, no-fuss bite, the kind atmosphere and solid basics make this a reliable neighborhood stop. Just know that if you order the cream brioche, you might end up wishing for a bit more filling.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
The focaccia earns raves for its airy, olive-oil-kissed crumb, while the overall vibe is one of rustic, soul-warming simplicity that feels like a hug on a plate.
“This focaccia is very tall, very dry underneath, no oil, no salt — completely bland. When I first put it in my mouth it felt soft and light, but after chewing a few times it got a bit too chewy. Overall it's more than sufficient, but it's missing something.”

A small bakery with very kind staff, decent focaccia and brioche, but the cream-filled brioche had barely any cream.

Focaccia
This focaccia is very tall, very dry underneath, no oil, no salt — completely bland. When I first put it in my mouth it felt soft and light, but after chewing a few times it got a bit too chewy. Overall it's more than sufficient, but it's missing something.
Schiacciata Secca al Rosmarino
This dry schiacciata has a nice look, with turmeric and rosemary, but the flavour is very neutral — I don't perceive much. It's well baked though. I think it would go great with a slice of affettato on top.
