The story
Tucked away on Corso Francia in Torino, Il Fornetto is a bakery with a 4.7-star rating that earns a solid “sufficient” from local creator Franchino Er Criminale. He advises sticking to the basics here—a piece of bread or a slice of focaccia will fill you up, while the desserts are all industrial and best skipped. Franchino’s assessment is pragmatic: the venue serves its purpose, especially for a quick, no-nonsense bite.
The focaccia surprised Franchino positively despite its heavy dough, and the menu includes Pizza Margherita, Focaccine Bianche, and Brioche con Crema. For a dependable bakery stop in Torino, Il Fornetto delivers on the essentials, even if it won’t wow you with its sweets. A reliable local spot, exactly as advertised.
