"Given Forno Brisa’s motto “fanculo la dieta” (fuck diets), you can trust this independent bakery enterprise for carbs. The team emphasizes slow, wild fermentation, ancient grains, and an all-inclusive work culture. Come here to see how Bologna does bread artistry, third-wave coffee, savory breakfast pastries, and vegan cakes. Plus, if you’re craving a slice, Brisa offers highly digestible, Roman-style pizza with delightful flavor hits like ’nduja and burrata, anchovies, or classic tomato. They offer craft wines by the glass and bottles to take away with the pizza, too." - Coral Sisk
"Lighter bites for breakfast and lunch are delightful at Forno Brisa, a “rebel bakery” with incredible breads, pastries, chocolate, and coffee across its five stores." - CN Traveler
Very nice bakery with variety of sweet and savory treats. I enjoyed my croissant with ricotta and spinach, it was fresh and crunchy, and my friend found her Maritozzi, it had generous amount of good quality light cream, and the dough was fresh and soft.
Cappuccino was good as well for a very a good price (2 euro).
Atmosphere is good, cozier than in average bakery, we enjoyed it and can recommend the place.

Super nice staff. Huge selection of pastry. Fair prices. Pistachio cornetto has very unique taste, this fact made me happy.
I had a chance to taste their bread with olives and almonds and it was really great, definitely would be buying it, living around.

A truly professional and dedicated spot. They roast their own beans, making the coffee top-notch and expertly crafted. The bread and pastries are also high quality. Highly recommended for a great coffee and bake!

I visited this amazing bakery every single day for breakfast!
Everything I tried was absolutely delicious, you just can’t go wrong here.
The girls making the coffee are super careful and truly respectful to it, you can tell they care.
They’re also incredibly kind (and yes, very pretty too 😁)
Don’t even bother looking elsewhere for breakfast or lunch, this is the spot!

Best coffee I had while in Bologna. Specialty options available for your espresso. Baked goods—sweet and savory—are unreal. Surprisingly amount of seating. Staff is outstanding.

Best unpretentious coffee and bakery items. Baristas are super engaging to suggest the kind of coffee beans and etc. It became my go to breakfast place during my visit in Bologna. Will surely come again soon!

Open early in the morning! Limited savory breakfast selections. Mainly pastries and various croissants. No freshly squeezed orange juice, but bottled. If just for a cup of capochino and a croissant, this place is good.

Good variety of sweet and savory food options. There's indoor seating here but we decided to enjoy breakfast at a nearby park. We got focaccia, croissants, a few other baked goods, and the cappucino. The food was okay but the prices were pretty good.

Very nice bakery. Coffee to Italian standards (2nd to none), exceptional focaccia. The staff is super nice as well.
Greatly recommended. This is why I go Italy!

One of the better bakeries in Bologna
It's pretty well known, and they have an excellent variety of bread products (and other stuff) that gets refreshed during the day
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood...

Good pizza would have been so much better if hot, than ran through toaster but still barely warm. The crust very fluffy.

Probably the best bread in town! And all the different pizza are excellent!
Young guys opened this Forno Brisa few months ago with the idea of using ONLY the best products, as the organic old grains. The result is bread and pizza easy to digest and super healthy.
The crew is nice and the place is 5min walking from Piazza Maggiore. A must see/eat!

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Fast and friendly. Lots of pizza and dessert choices. There were a few seats inside, but we got our food to go. Very good!
