Il pane, by Niko Romito, is the emblem dish of the 15th edition of the Identità Golose congress, from the 23rd to the 25th of March in Milan. Now some talented bread makers and high-quality bakeries have also arrived in Milan
Give us today our Milanese bread. A few years ago we wrote about how the Milanese pizza scene was enjoying a series of excellent restaurants, contradicting the (rooted and motivated) idea that it was very hard to eat the perfect pizza in Milan.
And how many times have you heard that finding some good bread in Milan was difficult if not impossible? Luckily, we can now claim this is a mystification: there’s an increasing number of noteworthy places, with different features, and therefore able to satisfy different needs and palates.
This is a topic we hold very dear, and not just because bread, with its ancient and simple goodness, is a food with an extraordinary evocative power, a fundamental element of our gastronomic culture. Indeed this year bread (and in particular Niko Romito’s bread) was chosen as the emblem dish of the 15th edition of the Identità Golose Congress.
To help you explore the best bakeries in Milan, we’ve edited a list of ten bakeries (in strict alphabetical order) to which we added a couple of recommendations that are only a few kilometres away from the city.
