The story
Tucked inside Milan’s Cadorna station, Maria Marinoni Forno Panificio is a practical pit stop for commuters and tourists. Creator Franchino Er Criminale found the pizza promising, specifically singling out the Potato and Rosemary Pizza in Pala and the Whole Wheat Pizza in Pala as solid options for a quick bite in a prime location.
However, the savory success doesn’t carry over to sweets. Franchino’s honest take reveals a sharp drop-off: the Brioche, Chocolate Brioche, and Sfogliatella all failed to impress, and he noted that prices run high. This bakery reliably delivers a pizza fix, but keep expectations in check for the dolci—and for the bill.

AI summary of what 6 dish mentions say about the food
The sfogliatella earns rapturous praise, its shattering layers and ricotta filling a masterclass in texture. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, soulful Italian baking that feels both rustic and refined.
“This is a bit overcooked on the outside, and it's cold. The ricotta inside is good, the pastry is also very good. It's a shame it's a bit cold. I'd say it's sufficient — it would be better eaten fresh.”

A bakery inside Cadorna station with good pizza but disappointing pastries and high prices.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza in Pala con Patate e Rosmarino
This pizza is beautiful, the potatoes are cooked well and the colour is nicely browned. The bake is fantastic — it's crumbly, crunchy, crispy just right. It's more pizza than focaccia and it's a good product. The rosemary gives it a boost. It smells good, it's good, good, good. I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
Pizza Integrale in Pala
I took this because the dough looked dark, I thought it was whole wheat. It's beautiful, well baked, well seasoned, full of topping. I didn't think it would be this good — much better to eat than to look at. Very interesting.
Calzone Panzerotto
This is cold and maybe a bit lacking in filling. Definitely yes, but more than anything it's cold. This is from yesterday — I shouldn't have taken it. The pizza I ate before was a 9, this is not.
- Brioche
Sfogliatella
This is a bit overcooked on the outside, and it's cold. The ricotta inside is good, the pastry is also very good. It's a shame it's a bit cold. I'd say it's sufficient — it would be better eaten fresh.
