The same reviewer crowned the bakery’s carnevale Cenci the winner in Florence: fried then baked, they come out "light, crunchy, and not greasy," with vivid flavor at a great price. Antico Forno Guasti proves that sticking to tradition isn’t the only path to a perfect pastry—sometimes a little innovation makes all the difference.

Antico Forno Guasti’s Cenci is a crisp, sugar-dusted triumph, earning rapturous praise as the standout dish. The overall vibe is warmly nostalgic, evoking simple, masterful Italian baking that feels both humble and elevated.
“The Cenci from Antico Forno Guasti are my favorite. They are fried a little and then put in the oven, so they are different from the usual. They have granulated sugar instead of icing sugar, are very light, very crunchy, not greasy at all, and very tasty. They cost 22 euros per kg.”

ma le SCHIACCIATE più BUONE di FIRENZE quali sono? · @ 3:54
A less traditional but more delicious schiacciata with a fatty dough that makes it extra tasty; the creator's favorite along with Pugi.

Schiacciata
This schiacciata is just like I like it — soft, salty, balanced, crunchy. I don't like it super crunchy on top, and this one is right for me. It's not the traditional schiacciata because you can feel a fatty part in the dough which makes it a little more delicious, less traditional but more delicious. Good.
