Davide Longoni Pane

The story

Davide Longoni opened his first Milan bakery here on Via Tiraboschi at the age of thirty and became one of the leaders of Italy's bread revival: organic, stone-milled flours, sourdough and long fermentation. Gambero Rosso's bread guide has given it its top 'Tre Pani' rating. He also relaunched the michetta, the hollow, crusty Milanese roll born in the 1700s as the Austrian 'kaisersemmel', which he sells filled at Mercato Centrale.
