We walked over around 8:30 AM and found that it was still there, but it was closed and had a sign that said they opened at 9:00 AM. We walked by again around 9:15 AM and the place was still closed, completely dark, and with no signs of activity. I figured the business had gone away. We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets. So it seems like in its current state, this is a mid-afternoon bakery of confections. Or something. If you want bread, go to Crai.

The older lady behind the counter noticed my daughter couldn't figure out what she wanted and so she made some recommendations for us and gave her a piece of focaccia bread that she enjoyed on the house.

Went to Portofino for the afternoon. Been here before, but haven't visited this bakery…read more Needed some souvenirs (the edible kind) to bring home and this bakery had some good looking products on display. Ended up buying some Amaretti, spice mix and some anchovies in oil with chili. Prices were a bit on the higher end, but hey, it's Portofino. Quality-wise all products were really nice, of course we got some for ourselves as well. Amaretti were nice, good flavour. The spice mix is very useful for cooking some good pasta and the anchovies are nice for some charcuterie plates. Good stuff if you're into anchovies like us. Enjoyed our shopping here and walked away happy.

I'm talking about the kind of food that elicits an audible response moments after your first bite. The focaccia bread at Pacifico Focacceria is like taking a bite out of heaven. Crisp, yet soft and chewy, these breads are the perfect handheld bites to take with you on the go, or stand at a nearby table and indulge in. My wife and I enjoyed two varieties - pesto and mozzarella and one with onions and sausage. Both of them were absolutely fantastic! In fact, if I didn't have to catch a ferry, I easily could've ordered two more and sat down and enjoyed them with a bottle of wine. I've enjoyed many great focaccia breads in Italy, but these easily rank among the best for me.

Panificio Rosi is a small shop in Riomaggiore that specializes in focaccia. While we stayed in Manarola, it was a short 10 min train ride from that town and we had planned to hike back to Manarola via the Via dell'Amore. Since it was an early morning we were the first customers, so they had plenty of fresh focaccia ready to eat. They have a large variety of focaccia with toppings to choose from, I picked the pesto and tomato focaccia and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend giving this shop a try for focaccia.

The varieties at Panificio Rosi include everything from focaccia with rosemary, anchovies, mushrooms, potatoes, onions, and even chocolate! My pick was the focaccia with artichokes, pesto, and stracchino cheese, and eating this was a revelation. The bread itself was perfectly crusty on the outside, and soft and pleasantly crumbly on the inside. The artichokes added a surprising textural contrast, and the creamy stracchino cheese and the herbaceous basil pesto added great flavor to every bite! I also tried the focaccia with anchovies and capers, and while this version was on the salty side, it was full of umami goodness. All the breads here were sold by weight, and the friendly server heated up our focaccia before we enjoyed this delicious snack!

Some outdoor seating completed the cute French Boulangerie set up. (Only one indoor seat but I don't recommend because the line of people ordering in a small space means you will have someone's butt in your space while eating.) The Noms: I had the Tarte au Citron. It was wonderful. It was tart and sweet but very bright. The shortbread crust was perfectly crumbly. I very much enjoyed it and came back at the end of my day trip to Menton to get one to go, but too late because someone else had already taken the last one. In conclusion: 10/10 would recommend and wish I had ordered a second one when I had my first but I hadn't wanted to carry it around with me as I was exploring or take it with me to the beach

I didn't find the sweets as appetizing, but I haven't tried them, so I can't comment on that. They'll give you a hard time if you try paying with a credit card, for alleged "accounting issues".
