The story
Panetteria Pasticceria Del Piano in Alba, Italy, earns a solid 4.6-star rating as a bakery, but the sole creator review paints a different picture. Franchino Er Criminale, in his video “Forni criminali ALBA,” calls it a “disappointing bakery with poor pastries and pizzas, despite being a luxury-looking place.” He specifically thumbs-down the brioche con marmellata di lamponi, girella con uvetta e cioccolato, both focaccia rossa and bianca, pizza margherita, and pizzetta.
“The savory items are barely sufficient,” Franchino notes, and his recommendation is blunt: “I would go to Sirio instead.” While the venue’s aggregate rating remains high, this single critical voice suggests that for this reviewer, the polished appearance doesn’t deliver on taste. Worth noting if you’re seeking top-tier baked goods in Alba.

Brioche con Marmellata di Lamponi
This brioche with raspberry jam has a dough that is not tough, but extremely elastic. It's terrible.
Girella con Uvetta e Cioccolato
This swirl with raisins and chocolate might look more interesting, but it's a few hours old. In my opinion, it's all sugar and I don't like it.
- Focaccia
Pizza Margherita
This pizza margherita is terrible. I'd better not taste it or I'll lose it. The crust is burnt on the bottom and the center is anemic.
Pizzetta
This small pizza has a burnt rim on the bottom and an anemic center. The top has detached. I don't know what to say.
