What Franchino Er Criminale says

26 on-camera moments, most recent first.

  • A disappointing rotisserie where the chicken is poorly cooked and the arancino is anemic; overall worse than Santa Rita, score 6.75.

    Girarrosti criminali TORINO

  • A modern bakery with good potential but let down by small imperfections and high prices.

    Forni criminali CASTELLO SFORZESCO Milano

  • A bakery with great value for money, excellent pizzetta and girellina, but some items are cold or slightly undercooked. Overall solid 8.

    Forni criminali NAVIGLI Milano

  • A classic old-school rotisserie with great arancini and decent chicken, though the potatoes are bland. Worth it for the arancino alone.

    Girarrosti criminali BARRIERA di MILANO

  • Great chicken, decent arancini, but the potatoes are inconsistent and bland. A solid rotisserie for the chicken alone.

    Girarrosti criminali BARRIERA di MILANO

  • An excellent bakery for savoury items, with great bread and pizza. The desserts are a bit of a letdown, especially the pasticciotto and the maritozzo, but overall a solid 8+.

    Forni criminali CORSO LODI Milano

  • A disappointing start: the fried items were mushy, acidic, and bready. Not worth the trip.

    Fritti criminali SECONDIGLIANO DA 10

  • A great rosticceria with excellent fried food, especially the Montanara and frittatina. The arancini could be better, but the value for money is incredible. Highly recommended.

  • A neighborhood bar with old-school style but a look to the future, serving excellent arancine made fresh at modest prices, though the frying is a bit too oily.

    Arancine criminali PALERMO

  • A scenic bar by the port with a nice view, serving good arancine but at a higher price (€2.00 per piece) and with a breading that is too thin and soft for my taste.

    Arancine criminali PALERMO

  • A classic rosticceria with old-school charm, serving excellent arancine at unbeatable prices (€1.50 each), with a great ragù but a soft breading.

    Arancine criminali PALERMO

  • A bakery with mostly insufficient products — only the omelette and the heart-shaped pastry were good. Overall a disappointing experience.

    Forni criminali CORVETTO Milano

  • A large bakery with a café — the savoury items like focaccia and pizza slices are excellent, but the arancini are a letdown. Overall a solid 7.5/10, but you have to choose wisely.

    Forni criminali BICOCCA Milano

  • A fast-food pizza concept from Sorbillo that doesn't work for me — the Neapolitan pizzas are undercooked and gummy, the American-style ones are better, but the fried sides are terrible. It's honest about being fast food, but the quality is disappointing.

    Il fast food di PIZZA di SORBILLO

  • A gluten-free rosticceria with Italian-Argentinian fusion; the lasagna was good but most other dishes were disappointing.

    Rosticcerie criminali NUOVA APERTURA a MILANO

  • A Sicilian bar in Aosta that does great arancini and cartocciate, though the pizzetta was disappointing; overall an 8.5.

    AOSTA criminale

  • Sole Luna is a Sicilian deli and pastry shop in Venaria that serves incredible arancini and cannoli, with the cannolo being better than most found in Palermo.
