Ficini

The Ficini family have been making excellent quality oven products for 50 years now. Bakers for three generations, they sell different typologies of bread. Their flagship product is their wholemeal Sciapo, a homage to their Tuscan origin, a salt-free bread whose neutral taste sublimes the flavour of the grain. They also turn out breads with raisins, with burnt wheat flour, 100% rye and “biblical bread”, dedicated to religious festivals and flavoured with millet, honey, Dead Sea salt and poppy seeds. The delicious confectionery features “stiacciata”, a pastry flavoured with aniseed, and “pan Pepito”, with chocolate, dried fruit, pepper and cinnamon. Savoury mini-focaccias, excellent plain focaccia and pan pizza are always on display on the long counter at the entrance. We recommend the different varieties of grissini: rubatà, hand-pulled, with sesame seeds, with walnuts, pulled with oil, with rye and crushed soya beans. There is also an assortment of vegan biscuits, with Bronte pistachios, with plain chocolate and Cervia whole salt, with peanuts and plain chocolate chips, and more besides.
