The story
Nestled in Torino’s Corso Francia, The Bakery Arrivabene has quietly earned a fervent following—and a standout 4.7-star rating—thanks to its exceptional baked goods. Franchino Er Criminale, a local creator who ranks it among the top three forni in Turin, praises the “pizza and pizzette” specifically, noting the “dough, leavening, and baking are top-notch.” He singles out the unique, “addictive pizzette” and a well-executed fried calzone as highlights. Beyond pizza, the bakery turns out a praised Focaccia con Formaggio, Prosciutto, Porro e Noce Moscata, alongside classic strudel and a Veneziana da forno.
This is the kind of neighborhood spot where the craft of baking takes center stage. Franchino’s second review doubles down on the “exceptional” quality, calling the pizzette “addictive” and the entire lineup—from Pizza Margherita to focaccia—consistently “well-executed.” At a budget-friendly price point and with a takeout-friendly vibe, Arrivabene proves that Turin’s best oven work often comes from the most unassuming storefronts.

Veneziana da forno
This Veneziana is very much from a bakery — you can tell it's a bakery Veneziana, not a pastry shop one. It's filled with cream, very bready but in a good way. It has a nice aroma in the mouth.

Dishes mentioned
Pizza Rossa
The pizza rossa here is what made me say it's a 10 — for the dough, the leavening, the baking. Amazing.
- Pizzetta
Pizza Bassa Pomodoro e Mozzarella
I found this low pizza with tomato and mozzarella — it's cold but you take it home, give it a reheat, and you'll eat well.
Focaccia con Formaggio, Prosciutto, Porro e Noce Moscata
This focaccia is very low, little baked on the bottom but well browned on top. It flakes beautifully and has a fantastic crust on top. It has cheese, prosciutto, leek, nutmeg — look at that face. It has an inebriating smell, the nutmeg really comes through. You can hear the crust sizzling.
Strudel
Look at this strudel — if you observe the counters with a clinical eye, you can't miss it. Good pastry, good apples, good raisins.
