The story
Le Ragazze Bottarelli in Milan’s Buenos Aires neighborhood has earned its reputation as a go-to bakery, thanks largely to glowing coverage from creator Franchino Er Criminale. In his review “Forni criminali BUENOS AIRES Milano,” he calls it “a great bakery” with “excellent focaccia and outstanding pastries,” though he notes it runs “a bit pricey.” The menu leans savory and sweet: Focaccia Bianca, Focaccia Ripiena con Prosciutto Cotto e Formaggio, Pizzetta con Mozzarella, and Pizzetta con Sugo sit alongside Veneziana con Crema and an inventive Strudel di Mele a Portafoglio.
This is the kind of neighborhood spot that feels both polished and warmly approachable — the pastries sparkle, the focaccia earns explicit praise, and the prices reflect the quality. For anyone navigating Milan’s bakery scene, Franchino’s stamp of approval makes Le Ragazze Bottarelli a worthy detour off the beaten path.

AI summary of what 6 dish mentions say about the food
The focaccia bianca, a pillowy, olive oil-drenched masterpiece, earns unanimous praise. Overall, the food delivers rustic, soul-warming Italian comfort with exceptional simplicity.
“This is the same dough as the stuffed one, perfectly baked, puffy. It's very good, I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. But I've had better — Betlemme comes to mind right away. So it's very good, but not mind-blowing.”

Dishes mentioned
- Focaccia
Focaccia Ripiena con Prosciutto Cotto e Formaggio
Look at this, it's beautiful, puffy, stuffed with ham and cheese. It's cold but still very puffy. You can tell it's a great dough, well baked. It's very good, I'd say 8.5, maybe 9 minus. But I've had better — Betlemme comes to mind.
Pizzetta con Mozzarella
This is already heavenly. Look at it, baked well, with a super melt-in-your-mouth dough. Mh mh, we're already at a no — it's that good.
- Pizzetta
veneziana con crema
This is the Venetian pastry I like — with cream inside, and you can see the vanilla specks. It's beautiful, good, good, good. The cream is out of this world. And the egg flavor is so prominent, you can really taste it.
