The story
Tucked away on Via Biagio Assereto in Recco, Panificio Focaccia col Formaggio Salumeria Tossini is the sort of casual bakery-deli that rewards a detour. YouTuber Franchino Er Criminale, in his “Focaccia criminale di RECCO” video, calls its Focaccia di Recco “decent”—a solid, if not transcendent, version of the local specialty. He notes it doesn’t quite hit the heights of his first choice in town.
Still, as he says, it’s “worth a try if you're nearby.” That pragmatic praise suits the unpretentious vibe: a 4.4-star rated spot for takeout or a quick bite, steeped in rustic Italian street-food tradition. For anyone exploring Recco’s famous focaccia scene, Tossini offers a dependable, flavorful stop without the fanfare.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
The focaccia di recco is the undisputed star, praised for its impossibly thin, cheese-stuffed, and crispy perfection. Overall, the vibe is one of rustic, soulful Ligurian comfort that feels like a warm embrace.
“This one is from a bakery-deli, more rustic and spartan than the first place. The focaccia was a bit crunchier on the outside, but it wasn't made fresh — it didn't open up like the other one. Still good, though: the stracchino is the star again, and the edge piece I had was nice. I'd give it an 8- out of 10 — slightly saltier than the first, but I preferred the first overall.”
