Panificio Stanici : Another Landmark in the Centro Storico
Small scale artisanal bakeries are central to Italy’s gastronomy. They bake a variety of regional breads, focaccia, panini, pizza, sweets and other baked goods. 

Stanici’s bakery, in the old town, with roots in Vasto that stretch back to the early 1960’s is  another example of a family run, small-scale business that has served residents through the decades.

I doubt if there is a Vastese, old or young, that hasn’t stood outside the Stanici bakery or sat on the steps of the nearby church of Santa Maria Maggiore and eaten a slice of pizza or a cornetto. Stanici’s is also an early morning stop for workers or beach goers who pack the freshly baked pizza slices to eat for lunch.
