Pavé was founded in 2012 by three friends with the idea of creating excellency in artisanal bakery.

Awarded The Best Café in Milan and rated among the 50 best patisseries in Italy by Guida Gambero Rosso for eight years in a row (2012-2019), Pavé is akin to the living room at home where high quality food can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere.

In 2014 the New York Times suggested Pavé as one of the top places to visit for Expo 2015.

In July 2015 the bakery launched its own online shop selling its bakery products in Italy and Europe, meeting the demand of foreigners and Italians abroad. April 2016 saw the opening of Pavé – Gelati & Granite, a cosy artisanal gelateria located in the heart of the Milan, which offers traditional ice creams prepared with fine ingredients and evoking flavours from Pavé’s patisserie products.

The second Pavé bakery, named Pavé-Break, opened in July 2016 and quickly became a hotspot in Porta Romana district.

In February 2018 Pavé started Pavé-Birra just in front of the bakery located in via Casati: a place to have craft beer on tap and high quality hot dog all night long.
