Bricco Panetteria

What a find! Down this non-descript passageway on Hanover St. All kinds of breads are baked here. Rumor has it that they supply a lot of Italian and upscale restaurants in the Boston area. They also have a full service shop Italian store next door along with a beautiful lounge/restaurant adjoining.

very mid sandwiches but good value, it was very large! fresh loaf of bread is super nice, got the miche sourdough. they were also nice to slice it for me. croissant was also okay. i think reheated is a lot better (and sandwich too)

Bricco Panetteria is located at the end of an alley by Bricco Panetteria and it's definitely a hidden gem. The decor is humble, simple and tiny-spaced, so people need to line up by the stairs but the staff served everything quickly. We were recommended to get a loaf with prosciutto & cheese and focaccia by a loyal customer. It was absolutely delicious with moist & delicate texture and the price was so reasonable with the size.

Hidden away from the main street, Bricco panetteria is a small counter-serve shop with a limited selection of pastries and Italian breads. Since they were located in the alley behind its main restaurant, it wasn’t easy to find, but I was glad we took our time to make the visit. Compared to other Italian pastry shops around, the options were very limited, and this seemed more like a place where local restaurants and the neighborhood get their daily supply of fresh breads. Along with the olive Italian bread, we got their signature Sfogliatelle napoletane and some apple and cherry danishes. Wrapped in a delicate crust, the mini lobster tails were amazing, and the danishes were quite good. The olive bread was also great for making snacks or for pairing with some home-cooked tapas or pasta. This place may not be for tourists looking for a late night dessert, but I would recommend giving them a try if you live nearby.

I had very high hopes for this place. The atmosphere is charming and romantic. The food the we received wasn't as flavorful as we would like compared to other Italian restaurants around the area. The price wasn't worth the flavor. For pasta I would definitely prefer trattoria next door. Perhaps this place is better for the steaks that they have. The desert were better than the food. The teramisu comes deconstructed so they assemble it in front. I could have gone with the show. Since they assemble the lady fingers do not have the time to absorb the cream/espresso so they end up being crunchy. I hear their espresso martinis are good but have not tried it. Would come back for that but not the food.

Not a rating if the food. Their website says they open at 7AM. I went in at 7:15 to find the lights off, no product out and 3 guys giving me annoyed looks. I asked if I should come back in a few mins and one just said "closed".

I was on a food tour (North End Boston Food Tour with Robert Agrippino) I was introduced to sfogliatella. It's a beautiful thing. This place is great with a variety of breads, pizza and treats. Its down an alley so be sure to stop! Salumeria across the way!

What a cute little hidden bread shop! My Nutella croissant was 10/10 🤩
