During a 5 week stay in Italy, I stopped here to purchase some yummy desserts for a dinner party at…read moremy Italian friend's home. I selected this bakery because it had good reviews and was only a couple blocks from my apartment. When I arrived at my friend's with an armload of Mama's goodies they said, "Oh, you went to the American bakery!" Me : Huh? I did? Of course I (an American) had somehow stumbled into probably the only American bakery in Florence. (To be fair, they may bake a lot of American style treats, but it is staffed and frequented by mostly locals. The cashier graciously went and found the one staff member who spoke English to help me. Very kind.) I had ordered about a dozen different items - cookies, brownies, pies - and we all had a great time sampling them after dinner. Every single one was absolutely delicious! B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Cozy spot, lots of seating, great food, and friendly staff!

All of the food is take away which was no problem. The women working at Becagli on both days were as patient as can be and spoke excellent English. Everything in the shop looked wonderful and they always had a line out the door for a reason. Prices are extremely reasonable. Highly recommend. 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. We only tried the ones without chocolate (they don't melt in our bag) and all were delicious. My favorite item was the crostata. They are on the bottom shelf. Flavors are cherry, blueberry and apricot. They have a nutty crust with sweet jam. So good!

I looked at the left and on the corner was this amazing little bakery that had all these fresh pastries? I had to try one I saw a couple people getting it. It was a cake that said melon cake. It looked like it had apple slices and was freshly baked. Some of the things are for the price itself and some of them they weigh items when they cut it. The cake was phenomenal. I am so glad I found this Bakery.

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!

When I mentioned we loved the bakery to him and had rated a bit of breakfast there every day in Florence, he said he did know of the place and it was his go to bakery but he would not have thought the recommend it to tourists!

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.
