The story
Santa Marina, a takeaway spot in Baranzate just outside Milan, has drawn only one critical review on ReTubeIt so far. Franchino Er Criminale, a local food critic, paints a stark picture of a bakery and pastry shop that fails on multiple fronts. He describes the environment as dirty and the items as low quality and poorly kept, giving the venue a clear thumbs-down.
The critic specifically calls out three dishes as disappointing: the Sfoglia Ripiena, the Ciambella, and the Pan Brioche con Crema. While the Patate is listed without a direct verdict, the overall tone leaves little room for redemption. For now, Santa Marina appears to be a no-frills operation that has not won over its first documented taster.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Santa Marina’s humble Patate earns raw, cult-like devotion, with one reviewer’s truncated praise hinting at pure, unpretentious comfort. The vibe is gritty and authentic, where simplicity itself becomes the star.
“The potatoes are well cooked and well seasoned, but what's underneath them — I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The base is like a sponge mattress, really bad.”

Potatoes
The potatoes are well cooked and well seasoned, but what's underneath them — I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The base is like a sponge mattress, really bad.
Sfoglia Ripiena
This sfoglia looks okay but it's been sitting for days. I got a sharp acidity from the cheese inside — it sent me running to the bathroom. Terrible.
Ciambella
It's called a ciambella even though there's no hole. It's well baked on top and bottom, but the bottom stays hard. With butter and sugar it's okay.
