The story
Santa Marina, a takeaway spot in Baranzate just outside Milan, has drawn only one critical review on ReTubeIt so far. Franchino Er Criminale, a local food critic, paints a stark picture of a bakery and pastry shop that fails on multiple fronts. He describes the environment as dirty and the items as low quality and poorly kept, giving the venue a clear thumbs-down.
The critic specifically calls out three dishes as disappointing: the Sfoglia Ripiena, the Ciambella, and the Pan Brioche con Crema. While the Patate is listed without a direct verdict, the overall tone leaves little room for redemption. For now, Santa Marina appears to be a no-frills operation that has not won over its first documented taster.

Potatoes
The potatoes are well cooked and well seasoned, but what's underneath them — I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The base is like a sponge mattress, really bad.
Sfoglia Ripiena
This sfoglia looks okay but it's been sitting for days. I got a sharp acidity from the cheese inside — it sent me running to the bathroom. Terrible.
Ciambella
It's called a ciambella even though there's no hole. It's well baked on top and bottom, but the bottom stays hard. With butter and sugar it's okay.
