Antico Forno Giglio

Grab a ticket and wait for your number to be called - it's worth any wait! I went here for a few snacks for lunch. The sandwiches were really tasty and full of filling. And the croissants were lovely, I can recommend the apricot one. The staff were super friendly and helpful and took the time to explain what things were to me in English.

I came because of the schiacciata, but the staff were too rude, English speakers are not welcome here

Grab a number at the entrance, it's worth the wait. The schiaccata rosmarino is epic, so is the carcioffino bread. Pizza is really good. The cake with apple and almonds was honestly the best cake I've ever tasted. The other savoury choices were fine but not amazing like the rest. Needless to say, I'll be back many times.

Incredible pizza, pan di ramerino, biscotti, breads etc. Fantastic friendly staff too. If you’re in the area, make a stop it’s definitely worth the short wait !

The most tender and delicious pane all' olio. My mouth still waters at the memory of those pillowy, chewy, savory strands of carb heaven.

We thought this was a great forno, but we were so disappointed. Bought 5 rosetta, uncooked and a loaf of segale also uncooked. We threw the bread to wild boars in the fields. At least we didn’t throw away the food. People really lower the standards….

Walked past this place and saw a queue of old ladies stood outside of it and figured it was a good sign. Grabbed my ticket, ordered a slice of pizza, and some cakes (I forget which ones), but the pizza was a different league. Almost NY style with the crispy base but the charred outer crust was so good too. You'll be tempted by the cakes, but grab a slice as well. Friendly service as well even when busy, and helped meet me halfway on my butchered Italian Duolingo phrases.

Staffs are kind serve with the service. The sweets are really nice! Recommended!!

Serving Florence since 1968 Antico Forno Giglio is a neighborhood Bakery known for Tomato Pizzas and a variety of Breads, the family owned space from Emilio and Naida Nuti sparse on square meters but bountiful in terms of options from 07h00 Monday through Saturday. Less celebrated for sweets than Rye, Schiacciata or other seasonal options guests seeking Breakfast will find a variety of Cookies plus Pasticerria while items such as Cornetti and Tortine are pillowy soft in comparison to filled Sfogliatelle that shatter to yield creamy Fillings.

Amazing! This is a place you must visit. This locals bakery is so fresh and so delicious. I could have eaten one if everything. Our group ordered 2 things and but then in 4 so we tried 8 items. Some sweet and some savory and all were delicious!

I almost missed this place and would have been sorely remiss an absolutely amazing spinach ricotta pastry and fresh apple pastry thing!! I don't even have time to look up what this pastry thing is actually called in Italian because I'm too excited to write an extremely complimentary review!! The bakery is small and definitely a local go-to: there is no fancy window display, just a case of handmade pastries and racks of mean loaves. Most of the pastries are by weight, so I got a slice of the ricotta pastry which wasn't oily at all, but rather fluffy and flaky at the same time, the inside absolutely gorgeously seasoned and not wet. The apple pastry sort of got squashed in my bag :( but it was just the marvelous sweet thing I wanted for mid morning - lightly coated in powdered sugar with a sweet but not saccharine apple and cinnamon inside. The pastry was less flaky but rather doughy, which I liked given the already slipperiness of the apple mix. Both cost me just 3.50€, and I picked up a carton of milk at the grocery store, so my first meal for a 13 mile day in Florence cost me less than 5€. The bakery is a little out of the way, but if you make it as far as Santa Croce and are thinking about going to Piazza Michelangelo on the other side of the Arno, stop by here, grab an espresso at cafe Piansa down the street, and be on your merry walking way up Mount Minato!

Simply wonderful! I'm lucky to find this charming artisan bakery. I had a slice of focaccia with tomatoes. Best taste ever and doesn't cost much! Totally recommended. :-)
