Bar H In Piacenza

18/03/2025: Being a business that has been open since 1948, and having many fans who speak well of it, I have always wanted to try this bakery from the moment I discovered its existence, especially after noticing that the confectionery production was also significant. I can't say whether the experience was positive or negative; perhaps a middle ground, a gray area that ultimately I didn't mind. Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate the croissants. Not because it was Italian-style dough, but rather because of its dryness and lack of taste in the pastry. And I have tried brioches produced by ovens, but I have rarely found them so unpleasant. It probably also didn't help that the quantities of creams inside them were very minimal, so that they couldn't even mask and improve the flavor. The miniatures, however, didn't displease me at all; and if it is true that among the many pastry shops I have tried, this one remains average, it is also still true that it is a very rustic and easy-to-use production, therefore good by its standards. I particularly appreciated the mignon completely covered in white chocolate: a delight that I hadn't yet found around. I can't say the same thing about pumpkin bread, though. Maybe it's not their forte, maybe the other types of bread, however, are stellar, but this one, despite its goodness, immediately weighed down the stomach, so I hypothesize that there was something wrong with the leavening. The meringues in different shapes and colors are extremely pretty and cute. Delicious for both the eye and the palate. Since I have other tastes in the matter, I don't think I'll return to this place again, but as usual I'm more than happy to try things I'm not familiar with, especially when it comes to desserts. The staff are very kind and the prices are honest: I can therefore understand this popularity in the neighborhood.
