Welcome to Le Ventarole
A place where we celebrate quality and seasonality every day, where we are dedicated to creating products that enhance the authentic taste of the best raw materials, with love and respect for tradition.
Our craftsmen
Passion, tradition and care: our craftsmen transform simple ingredients into authentic delicacies, respecting the art of baking and bringing freshness and quality to every product.
Tradition
During the holidays, we dedicate ourselves to preparing typical products that tell our story, respecting authentic flavours and traditions.
The Baguette
Crispy outside, soft inside: our baguettes are made with selected ingredients and a slow leavening process that enhances their flavour. Perfect for every moment, they bring the authentic taste of French tradition to the table.
Our Mother Yeast
Our mother yeast, created and refreshed every day by the bakery founder Giancarlo Mandl, is the heart of our production. We carry it on today with the same passion, respecting the time and care it requires.
The Calendar
In our bakery, in addition to regular production, each day of the week is dedicated to a different bread, each made from selected flours. From rye to spelt to ancient wheat, we offer authentic and genuine varieties. Discover our calendar!

Le Ventarole, the history
Le Ventarole Bakery was established in 2002 in the area of Borbonica, Lacco Ameno, where for years we baked bread and craft products inspired by tradition. In 2017, the earthquake hit the island and our premises hard, prompting us to make a decision. We chose to move to the centre of Forio, in Via Cardinale Lavitrano, to continue offering the warmth and quality we have always had. Here, every day, we proudly carry on a tradition that does not allow itself to be bent by adversity, churning out genuine products that tell our story of passion and resilience.
