Lo Sforno is a bakery, a bar and a gift shop too. It's a good place with a great atmosphere, so it could only be in the district of Santo Spirito!
It is as simple and country chic as a bakery can be, but it is also an elegant shop. Lo Sforno is one of those commercial operations that the neighborhood really needed, because bakeries are disappearing, and it also has very high quality products. If you want to buy their tasty baked bread, take your time, because there are always some people in line. Otherwise, take a seat and wait.
You can also have breakfast with a piece of cake, a croissant, or some biscuits. Everything you can eat inside is homemade. If you need to find a different present for your family or friends, you can buy their products and bring them home...
I'm quite sure that you'll decide to keep them for yourself and buy something else for your friends!
