17/12/2025: If you're passing through Novara, a stop at Pasticceria Gramigni Ettore dal 1964 isn't just recommended, it's a must. Entering this place means immersing yourself in the city's true pastry tradition, greeted by the aroma of home and top-quality ingredients. ​Pane di San Gaudenzio: Simply Divine ​The highlight is, without a doubt, their Pane di San Gaudenzio, a true work of art: ​The texture: A fragrant crust enclosing an incredibly soft center. ​The flavor: The balance between the leavened dough and the abundance of pine nuts and raisins is perfect, never cloying. ​The authenticity: You can taste that the historic recipe is followed with an artisanal care that is rare today. ​ ​Beyond the quality of the products, what makes Gramigni special is the atmosphere. You can sense the passion of a historic business that has been delighting the palates of Novara residents since 1964. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and proud to present their creations. ​Whether for a special gift or a personal treat, Gramigni's Pane di San Gaudenzio is the ultimate expression of this traditional Novara dessert. A well-deserved five stars!
