Great place to stock up on food and supplies/gifts while experiencing the anarchy that is grocery shopping in Italy.

Offering both traditional and filled Sfogliatelle, not on par with Naples but nonetheless enjoyable, Torta di Riso fares well thanks to a delicate shell while a Ricotta Tart likens Basque Cheesecake thanks to a bit of char.

They have a delicious selection of focaccia (they have other bread and pastries also). Our 6 and 5 year old loved the plain focaccia and my wife and I loved the pesto, potato, and onion focaccia breads. One morning I got there early (maybe 7:45 am), and the pesto focaccia was still warm and it had slices of white cheese on top as well (before they had melted in)--perhaps mozzarella? Anyway, it was so rich and delicious. This place was a lifesaver for us as we'd buy a large amount--have some for breakfast and save the rest for snacks on the go--very tasty. The plain focaccia had great olive oil and salt flavor--simple, but really good Highly recommended! Fairly inexpensive as well and friendly people!

And will definitely return on our next trip to Florence.

We stopped by there almost daily during our stay to get some cookies for our snack. Cookies are by weight.

Flavors are cherry, blueberry and apricot. They have a nutty crust with sweet jam. So good!

They begin the day with everything from classic cornetti, to croissants, to whole wheat or even multigrain varieties, ham and cheese sandwiches, cinnamon raisin rolls, danishes, donuts, turnovers and cookies. Obviously the pastries are of the Italian, not American style. I often feel that when writing reviews in English, something really does get lost in the translation. I digress. The coffee is amazing. At lunch they offer a whole spread of pastas, vegetable dishes, meats, fish and sandwiches. It's antipasto bar or tavola calda style, where you choose from food that's already freshly prepared and displayed. The prices are fixed by dish (primo, secondo, contorno) and range from about 5-8euro. For aperitivo they offer one of the most abundant buffets in the area, and the cocktails (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) are refined and super tasty. You tell them if you want something sweet, fruity, dry, your favourite flavour, etc and they surprise you. They have a nice selection of wines and prosecco available as well. Beware, they close at 8:30 sharp so get there early to really enjoy the buffet.

As time passed being here, I realized I really wanted to experience more of the local places. And man is this one of them. The husband and wife that run the shop are the most welcoming and the place makes me feel like I've traveled back in time when I walk in. The quality is unmatched. I've never smelled such an aroma of bread before I walked into La Panetteria. Also, I knew just enough Italian to order what I wanted which made the experience so cool! Please stop by here if you are in the area! Ciao!

While everything we tried was delicious, they make a little savory potato and rosemary pastry that was to die for. We stopped and got a bag full for our trip to Rome the day we left. A real local gem. No coffee here but suck it up and drink water or take back to your hotel and enjoy. Most probably would not venture over if not staying in the area, but do if you are.
