A Pugliese-style bakery in Ravenna, honest and decent, with good focaccia and pastries, though a bit dry on some items.

- Focaccia
Rustica Sfoglia con Pomodoro e Mozzarella
A rustic puff pastry with tomato and mozzarella inside, well baked, good layers. It never says no, but look at that bite — interesting pastry, normal filling. Good.
Mini Strudel
A mini strudel, a bit dry honestly. More than sufficient products, but a bit dry.
Sfoglia con Marmellata
This puff pastry like a Roman ciabatta, nicely caramelised underneath with jam. I really like this one — the jam seems very artisanal, but the pastry broke well. More than honest. Too bad the jam is artisanal, the pastry is good.
