The story
Tucked away on Via Bernardino Galliari in Torino’s San Salvario, Bertino is the kind of old-school bakery that feels like a secret worth traveling for. YouTube creator Franchino Er Criminale calls it a contender for Europe’s oldest bakery, serving focaccias that are “unlike anything else — crunchy, oily, and full of flavor.” With a near-perfect 4.9-star rating, it’s a beloved local institution.
The focaccia selection is the draw. Franchino highlights three standouts: the Focaccia con Cipolle Rosse, the Focaccia con Patate, Porri e Cipolle, and the Focaccia con Peperoni, Olive e Acciughe. Each is distinctively textured and boldly flavored—exactly the kind of high-quality, unfussy baking that makes a neighborhood spot essential.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
Bertino’s focaccia con cipolle rosse earns rapturous praise for its pillowy, caramelized sweetness, while the overall vibe reads as rustic, warm, and quietly confident.
“This focaccia has a very crunchy, almost biscuit-like crust, and it's quite oily. The red onions are cooked perfectly — they know their craft. There are salt crystals and a bit of oregano. It's a unique product you can only find here, not like other focaccias. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10, maybe even a 9 minus.”

Focaccia con Patate, Porri e Cipolle
This one has potatoes, leeks, and onions — a deadly combo. The leek and onion together are incredible. The bottom is well-cooked, it's a high-quality product. It's a pleasure to eat this.
Focaccia con Peperoni, Olive e Acciughe
Beautiful and well-made. The anchovy is fantastic as a flavor boost. Everything is done right. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10, but this is something you can only find here — it's unique.
