Baffone Italian Bakery — Restaurant in Casselberry

A newly opened Italian restaurant in casselberry is turning heads with its dedication to authenticity. The owner proudly shared that their pasta is handmade in-house using a blend of two different types of Italian flour, giving it a distinct texture and flavor that sets it apart from other places. The same attention to detail goes into their breads and doughs, which you can immediately taste the difference in.

Their carbonara is especially worth mentioning — it’s made the traditional Italian way using eggs, not cream like many other restaurants. Instead of American bacon, they use guanciale, which gives the dish a wonderfully rich and aromatic flavor.

The pizza also follows authentic techniques: they bake the base first, then add ingredients like Italian mortadella and fresh mozzarella afterward. Finally, it’s finished with a brush of house-made pesto around the edges and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for a unique touch.

And don’t miss the homemade gelato — with over 10 flavors to choose from, the most surprising and delightful of all is the pistachio gelato, which...

Delicious, authentic, and genuine hospitality! I am so thankful we stumbled upon Baffone when searching for somewhere to satisfy our Italian craving on a Saturday night. This is a hidden gem that has just opened up in Casselberry and we will absolutely be back.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. Everything that we tried was delicious and fresh. We had Pesto Bruschetta, Pasta Carbonara, Pasta Amatriciana and a specialty chicken dish. For dessert, we were blown away by the coffee chocolate chip gelato (will definitely be picking that up in the near future!). And we took home some cannolis and profiteroles — all delicious!

This is a perfect date night spot, at such a reasonable price point. We can’t wait to come back and try the pizza, ciabatta sandwiches and breakfast.

Highly recommend supporting this local spot that brings a piece of Italy to...

I adore this new spot!! The decor is chic and welcoming, the food is authentic and not full of junk and the prices are sooo reasonable!

I've had the pleasure of talking with the owner a few times and they will have fresh pasta, fresh breads, along with all their delicious menu items to sell in the near future!

We tried the brushetta and 2 pasta dishes and the fettuccine noodles are incredible!

It's definitely a different texture than store bought junk filled noodles, so just be aware it may be different!

They use simple high quality ingredients and they don't use any cream because apparently that's not an Italian thing at all! Crazy right! But so cool to experience traditional true Italian cooking 🥰

I will be back probably many...
