“Three loaves” – top score for I Banchi by Gambero Rosso

 

The first guide on bakers and bakeries covering 350 locations, Panettieri & Pani by Gambero Rosso, is now published.  I Banchi, the bakery and kitchen designed by Ciccio Sultano and directed by chef Peppe Cannistrà, has been awarded the highest rating: three loaves of bread.  A result awarded to thirty-six bakeries in Italy and only two in Sicily.
The other bakery is Guccione in Palermo.
«After four years of hard sacrifices – emphasizes Peppe Cannistrà – this recognition makes us proud. It’s a beautiful idea to reward those who make good bread, those who get up at night to knead the best flours. I thank Gambero Rosso for the recognition and trust, all our suppliers, Ragusa town, the whole of Sicily and, above all, my collaborators, the masters of white art».
