The story
Panificio Pasticceria Brianti, a neighborhood bakery in Milan’s Giambellino area, has earned a loyal following—and a solid 8.5 from local food enthusiast Franchino Er Criminale. In his *Forni criminali* video, he calls it a great bakery, praising the pizzette and stuffed bread as standouts. The shop’s warm, unpretentious vibe matches its reputation as a go-to for savory baked goods.
Franchino specifically flags the Pizzetta Rossa and the Ripiena con Prosciutto e Formaggio as excellent. However, he notes that the Focaccia Classica Bianca and the Zeppola con Crema could be improved. That candid critique doesn’t dampen his overall enthusiasm—this is a place worth visiting for its high points, even if not every item hits the mark.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
The pizzetta rossa earns fervent praise, its simplicity elevated by a perfect, blistered crust. The overall vibe is of a humble, masterful bakery where every bite feels like a quiet revelation.
“These pizzette look really really beautiful, well-baked, and remind me of the low, crunchy Roman-style red pizzetta. The tomato is gorgeous and it's cooked perfectly. It's good, and it even has olives in the dough — green olives in the dough, then topped with tomato. It's as beautiful as it is good. The sides and edges are nice and crunchy, and the inside is soft — soft, good, well-cooked, soft, tasty.”

A great bakery with amazing pizzette and stuffed bread, though the focaccia and cream zeppola could be improved. Overall a solid 8.5.

Ripiena con Prosciutto e Formaggio
This stuffed bread is beautiful and round, you cut a slice depending on how much you want. It has a nice look, good baking, and a great smell. The filling is abundant, well-cooked, a good product. I want to taste the big part — well-leavened, well-baked. Apart from the focaccia for personal taste, this is a top-notch bakery.
Zeppola con Crema
This zeppola has a beautiful look, a beautiful dough, it's well-baked, and full of cream, even though the cream doesn't drive me crazy. If they put a bit more care into making a good cream and put it inside that zeppola, it would have been a zeppola from another world. Still, it's an 8.5 zeppola.
