Pizzeria Scacco Matto In Formignana

19/03/2025: Pdg was one of the best pastry shops in a hundred, ever since I was little. As the years have gone by though, I have to admit that the quality of the food has deteriorated. The service is good, the guys polite and nice. The bar has expanded with another external dehor, a must, to dispose of the people having breakfast. We are not available for sweets and croissants: The flaky croissants are greasy on the palate and not very honeycombed, the jam (I took a berry croissant) is too sweet and not of the best quality. My mother bought a savory croissant with ancient grains, which was also greasy and not very honeycombed and for the price it has, it must have at least a bit of technical quality, in addition to charging for the different and higher quality for a refined flour. I tried several times to have breakfast or take trays of pastries, but the result was always the same: too sweet, almost nauseating. Mine is a constructive criticism, not to give bad publicity but to get the pastry shop back to having an adequate quality for the price.

10/02/2025: The best pastry shop in Cento and surrounding areas. The pastry counter is wonderful. Excellent quality breakfast coffee and croissants. I have known this pastry shop for more than 20 years and when I am in the Cento area it is a regular stop, especially for the pastries, quality and freshness that are not easily found both in Italy and abroad. The owner is always cheerful and kind. The staff really works very hard, well done!
