The story
In Torino’s San Donato neighborhood, Cibrario has quietly earned a loyal following. Local reviewer Franchino Er Criminale calls it “a good bakery” and gives it a solid 8, praising the rustic pastry and chocolate croissant as clear highlights. The olive bread, however, is a noted letdown.
Beyond the standout chocolate croissant and the Rustico Prosciutto Mozzarella e Pomodoro, Cibrario also turns out a plain croissant (vuoto) and a mozzarella focaccia. While the olive bread falters, the rest of the lineup—earthy, well-made, and consistent—makes this a worthy stop for a quick breakfast or afternoon treat in this residential corner of Torino.

A good bakery in San Donato — the rustic pastry and chocolate croissant are highlights, the olive bread is disappointing, but overall it's a solid 8.
Dishes mentioned
Rustico Prosciutto Mozzarella e Pomodoro
This rustic pastry with ham, mozzarella and tomato is well made and well cooked, with a nice crust that we like. It's well filled. Nothing to shout about, but very honest.
Pane alle Olive
This olive bread looks beautiful but it's a bit elastic. It's more beautiful than good — when you see it you think 'wow', then you eat it and it's just okay. Disappointing.
Focaccia con Mozzarella
This focaccia with mozzarella is better than the olive bread — it's more like a focaccia, the dough is different, it melts in the mouth. Good.
Croissant Vuoto
The plain croissant barely has any butter taste. Mediocre.
Croissant al Cioccolato
This chocolate croissant has a lot of chocolate, and it's good chocolate. It's identical to the plain one but filled with chocolate. Very good.
