Description
These half-moon dough pockets—historically a staple of Pugliese "cucina povera"—are handmade in the shop exclusively by the owners. Diners can choose between versions that are delicately fried or baked; the fried option is notably light, turning out golden with a crispy, thin dough shell and no oily residue. The counter-serve spot keeps things relaxed and friendly, with a menu featuring savory fillings like broccoli rabe and sausage, salami, and sweet dessert panzerotti to finish.
