The story
At Sgroi Panificio Pasticceria in Milan, creator Franchino Er Criminale found a stark contrast in quality. The speck and brie focaccia was "excellent," but the panzerotto and parigina both suffered from "completely raw tomato," which he called inedible. He labeled the visit an "overall… failure."
That raw tomato problem was the dealbreaker. While the focaccia shone, two pastries failed on a basic cooking step, suggesting inconsistency. With a 3.9-star average from one review, the takeaway is clear: order the focaccia, but proceed with caution on the filled pastries.

Reviewers rave about the Parigina, a buttery, layered pastry that defines the bakery’s charm. The overall vibe is one of rustic, irresistible warmth, making every bite feel like a cozy Italian embrace.
“I found it for once so I took it. It has a focaccia base and a puff pastry top, filled with tomato and ham I think. I swear, there's raw tomato in here too. I expected better from the puff pastry on top, but that's not the problem. The tomato is raw, not cooked. You cooked the focaccia, you cooked the puff pastry, then you put raw toppings inside and closed it. Very strange.”

A disappointing bakery. The speck and brie focaccia was excellent, but the panzerotto and parigina had completely raw tomato, making them inedible. Overall a failure.
Dishes mentioned
Focaccia con Speck e Brie
It has a good face, let's be honest, it's good, very good. The brie is absolute. The dough is also good, it's an 8+ focaccia. And the choice of putting speck and brie together pays off a lot.
Panzerotto
Very artisanal, you can see from the closure. Lots of tomato inside, I hope it's cooked because it gives me the impression it's raw. It's raw. The tomato inside is completely raw. What a terrible mistake, it really feels like eating passata straight from the jar you bought at the supermarket. Bad, bad. The panzerotto itself wasn't bad, but this sauce completely raw makes it inedible.
Parigina
I found it for once so I took it. It has a focaccia base and a puff pastry top, filled with tomato and ham I think. I swear, there's raw tomato in here too. I expected better from the puff pastry on top, but that's not the problem. The tomato is raw, not cooked. You cooked the focaccia, you cooked the puff pastry, then you put raw toppings inside and closed it. Very strange.
