The story
Tucked away on Via Bene Vagienna in Torino, Panificio Lotito is a no-frills neighborhood bakery with a solid 4.4-star rating. Creator Franchino Er Criminale, in his *Forni criminali SANTA RITA Torino* video, calls it “a decent neighborhood bakery with good tortino di mele but nothing spectacular overall.” It’s the kind of spot that earns quiet loyalty rather than loud buzz—a reliable stop for everyday baking.
The bakery’s lineup includes focaccia, Pizza Margherita Rossa, and both white and red focaccine, plus Veneziana. The standout, per the review, is the Tortino di Mele, singled out as genuinely good. While the overall impression is modest, Lotito clearly fills a dependable role for its corner of Torino—simple, solid, and worth knowing for that apple tortino alone.

Focaccia
It's a good focaccia, nothing spectacular. There's salt but not too much. I'd give it a 7, 7 and a half.
- Pizza Margherita
Focaccine Bianche e Rosse
The dough is good, but they're a bit undercooked — there's a white strip of raw dough. The white one is salted just right, the red one has cooked tomato. On cooking they could do better, on the dough too.
Veneziana
The dough is like a bakery veneziana, not a pastry shop one — it looks like maritozzo dough. They put cream on top and also inside, but it's a fake cream, very light, with lumps. The taste is good, it's a quick cream. The dough is good, bakery-style.
Tortino di Mele
Look how beautiful this is, well cooked, full of apples. This is the best thing I ate here. It's really a nice homemade tart, made well and with love. It confirms the 7 and a half vote, maybe even leaning towards an 8 minus minus. Very very good.
