The service is excellent and the prices are approachable.

AI summary of what 6 dish mentions say about the food
Forno di Via Montegani 60’s standout Sfoglia con marmellata draws praise for its delicate, jam-filled pastry. The overall vibe is one of warm, unpretentious comfort.
“This puff pastry with jam has gone a bit soft, and the jam is the fake sugary supermarket kind. The only flaw is that it's not from last night or this morning — it could have been an 8, but it becomes a 7 minus.”

Dishes mentioned
Pizzette con Mozzarella
These little pizzas with mozzarella underneath are maybe a bit less baked, but the mozzarella is good — it's tasty. The dough is melt-in-your-mouth, well made, ingredients more than decent, cooked enough. I'd give it an 8.
Sfoglia Ripiena al Formaggio
This puff pastry filled with cheese is very good. The pastry is good, well seasoned, there's salt on top, it's well baked. The only flaw is that it's cold — it's a few hours old. If it were freshly made and hot, it would be even better.
- Focaccia
Brioche Classica da Forno
This classic bakery brioche is more Roman than Milanese. It's a bit undercooked, there's still some dough. Nothing special.
Sfoglia con Marmellata
This puff pastry with jam has gone a bit soft, and the jam is the fake sugary supermarket kind. The only flaw is that it's not from last night or this morning — it could have been an 8, but it becomes a 7 minus.
