Panificio Pasticceria Tossini

Panificio Pasticceria Tossini is a local bakery and deli found right in the heart of Recco, known primarily for its focus on focaccia — a staple here that pulls in both locals and visitors. Situated on Via Biagio Assereto, it offers a straightforward, practical spot to grab something deliciously authentic without fuss.

The real draw at Tossini is its variety of focaccia styles, especially the famed Focaccia di Recco with cheese, a regional specialty that often defines the experience here. This is the kind of place where you’ll see people stopping by for a quick lunch or an afternoon snack, often to take items away rather than linger at the few tables available.

Expect a casual and somewhat bustling atmosphere, particularly during peak hours. The staff tend to be attentive and efficient, helpful if you want a recommendation or need to decide quickly. Since the bakery serves throughout the day, but with food sometimes running low by mid-afternoon, it’s best to visit earlier if you want the fullest selection — especially if you’re after their signature focacce or something like the trofie al pesto or chestnut gnocchetti with pesto.

The menu leans heavily on focaccia variations — from classic cheese-filled to those topped with onions, pesto, or even combined with farinata di ceci. A few also enjoy pairing their focaccia with lighter deli bites or a soda, making it suitable for a casual, fairly quick meal without the formality of a restaurant setting.

Parking can be a bit tricky around this part of Recco, so plan accordingly if you’re driving. Prices are reasonable for what’s essentially quality fast food, though some locals find the spot a touch on the pricier side when ordering multiple slices or beverages. Tables don’t always get wiped down promptly during busy times, so it’s more about the food than a sit-down dining experience.

This bakery works well for anyone who appreciates Ligurian flavors and wants a genuine, no-frills taste of Recco’s focaccia culture. It’s particularly convenient for those looking for a quick lunch or snack to enjoy on the go, with a genuine local rhythm guiding the pace rather than polished presentation or spacious seating.
