Reviews
There are sandwiches, sweet treats, sourdough breads,focaccia cookies, coffee and more.
The place is inviting and casual with air of class. There is seating avaible to enjoy your coffee or cornetto. The products are all thoughtfully displayed and the service was genuinely friendly and upbeat.
The cornetto with him and cheese was a simple and delicious sandwich. The bomboloni (1 pistachio and 1 lemon) were light and decadent at the same time, with a custatd like filling that is creamy and subtly flavored. I am going back for more.
The garlic sourdough was filled with whole garlic gloves baked in and a nice chewy outside and soft inside. The country sourdough was equally amazing. Both great for dipping, sandwiches, toast, or simply spreading with a good quality butter or jam.
There are no preservatives or artificial ingredients and all is made by hand.
Right out the Post Rd in Westport with a small parking lot shared with other businesses.
I highly recommend and will be a regular!
Pierluigi and his team also created custom decorative breads for our bread table during cocktail hour. The display was so detailed and beautifully arranged, and the bread itself was just as delicious.
We have been coming to Fatto a Mano Bakery for awhile, and everything is always crafted to perfection. The sourdough, focaccia, biscotti, pastries, cappuccino, olive oil cake—you name it—are the closest you’ll get to being in Italy, and every bite is absolutely delicious. Plus, the panettone during Christmas time is now a staple in our family! Using the simplest yet highest quality ingredients, Pierluigi crafts everything to perfection. He is so kind and a truly wonderful person, and you can tell he pours so much passion and love into everything he creates!
We always look forward to visiting his bakery and enjoying all the treats. Thank you so much, Pierluigi—grazie mille!
I’m visiting from out of town, I had tasted the sfogliatella in Naples a few years ago, I was exited to try it again.
The flavor and the quality are more than great !
What’s very disappointing is the lack of clear pricing per item. As an example I had purchased las Sunday 4 of these and 2 other items (cookies and a slice of pie) and it was also the same amount $37.57, and today that I purchased 5 sfogliatella same amount.. dose NOT make sense.
I left not only with delicious bread, but also with new skills and a deeper appreciation for artisan baking. I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves bread or wants to experience something unique and meaningful. I can’t wait to return!
The bakery is located in Westport. Worth a visit!!
Grazie mille, Pierluigi e Alyssa. Buona fortuna e a presto!
Everything was explained to us perfectly and the best part was tasting the bread and the charcuterie at the end and we got to take a loaf home!!!!
This past Sunday I had the privilege of attending a sourdough breadmaking class with Pierluigi. Because of the long timeline from the creation of the “mother” to enjoying the finished product, we went through the individual steps so that we could experience the path to freshly made bread, but out of order so we could see everything in a telescoped 2 1/2 hour session. I was impressed and left with a newfound appreciation of the intricacies of the craft of artisanal breadmaking. Thank you.
The pistachio mousse was a visually stunning, unique treat. I look forward to trying more of their pastries and their fresh pasta!
