The story
Nestled in Milan’s Baggio neighborhood, Panificio Di Paola is the kind of bakery that rewards regulars and curious first-timers alike. Franchino Er Criminale calls it a well-kept spot with good focaccia and pastries. He specifically thumbs-up the Focaccia Normale, the Focaccia Stile Barese, the Pizzetta, the Veneziana, and a Cornetto Vegano con Carboni Vegetali. The tone is appreciative but not blindingly adoring.
Still, the review reveals cracks in the crust. Not everything hits: some items come across as bland or are missing the promised cream. The overall impression is of a solid neighborhood favorite that delivers on several fronts but doesn’t dazzle across the board. For a casual bakery hit, it’s worth a visit—just know which orders to place.

Pizzetta
This pizzetta seems to have a different dough from the larger one, more like the white one. It's better, but it's bland. Too bad, because it's bland.
Veneziana
Very well baked, but where is the cream? I ordered a Veneziana and I expect cream inside. It's good, but without cream it's not a Veneziana.
Cornetto Vegano con Carboni Vegetali
It's black, but it has a nice face. It's very good. Nothing burnt like the previous bakery.
