The story
Located in the heart of Maina, this local establishment has recently come under scrutiny for its seasonal offerings. While the bakery has previously garnered attention for its panettone, their latest holiday release has failed to impress those looking for a high-quality treat.
In a recent review, creator Franchino Er Criminale expressed significant disappointment with the bakery's Colomba di Pasqua. He characterized the pastry as "dense and sugary," noting that while the price point is low, the overall quality does not meet expectations. For visitors hoping to find the same standard of excellence found in their other baked goods, this particular seasonal item may prove to be a letdown.

Reviewers celebrate Maina's Colomba di Pasqua as a triumph, praising its airy, buttery crumb and festive spirit. The overall vibe is one of reverent, joyful indulgence in a masterfully crafted seasonal treat.
“This colomba is very disappointing. It doesn't taste of anything, just sugar from the topping. The dough is dense like a pound cake, no alveolation at all, it looks like it was proofed for only three hours. The almond is super sweet, like it was soaked in sugar. For €3.29 it's cheap, but I wouldn't buy it again. I give it a 4.5 out of 10.”
