What an absolute treat! From cookies to gelato, and featuring a variety of coffee options,…read morePasticceria Giovannini is worth the stop. The cookies are all crumble in your mouth fresh, with an attention to quality that is immediately apparent. Each offering has a unique style and flavor, and everything is very reasonably priced. The staff is super friendly, especially if you're making an effort to communicate in Italian. And as you'd expect, this cafe has a neighborhood, local feel. It's stylish and lively, but not overwhelming. One of our favorite spots in Montecatini.

My mother and I were on vacation in Montecatini at a hotel that was a 1 minute walk away (dangerous). Our morning routine was to get a cappuccino and un caffe. The espresso was strong and full of flavor. Most days we came back later in the day and tried other varieties - all great. Now about the desserts....nothing like I've ever tasted in America! Everything was so clean, had unique tastes with a perfect amount of sweetness - just mouthwatering. The prices were super low too. One visit we got 5 pastries for 8 euros. Giovannini makes me want to vacation there again ASAP!!

Cute little pastry shop on Via Roma. Everything is made in house. What I liked most about Pan di…read moreZucchero is that their offerings are unlike most of the other bakeries we found in the area. Here, pastries seem to be more unique and whimsical rather than traditional, for example the tiny pistachio creme tarts, sushi-style pastries, and wildly frosted and super rich chocolate cake. The owner, Giulia, is super friendly and speaks top notch English. She even recommended a cool street food fair for us. Big plus!

Just down the street from our hotel, a very good pastry shop. In every town or city we visited,…read morebakeries were ubiquitous with breads and pastries a constant temptation. This shop is small, with limited space inside. There are tables on the sidewalk outside. For the full selection of baked goods, you have to be there early in the morning. In such a small town you'd be surprised at how quickly the stock is depleted. They are closed (by law) on Mondays. As in most bakeries in Italy, the croissants with jam or cream are very popular. Our young daughter fell in love with their mini sugar donuts (ciambella). She ate 5 or 6 one day on multiple stops there! Prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed my cafe latte each afternoon, served in a tall glass. Wish I had one right now. Even my wife who is not a coffee lover enjoyed the cafe lattes.

Wow, I was looking on Yelp for a bakery and the directions took me to a place that it was not…read morethere. So I figured I don't think it closed, but I just couldn't find it and I was walking. 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! 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.
