Paffuto

I stumbled in here during one of the most hectic days of the year in the Italian Market area...The Italian Market Festival. I had Paffuto pinned to try for weeks and finally had a shot. It did not disappoint. Walking in the smaller dining room was the perfect setting for small Italian joint. Side bar - they played some great alternative rock which helped with the vibe. Curtis greeted us and gave us a quick rundown of what was still available. He explain all of the options in depth which helps a ton when you aren't sure what to get. We got the plain Panzerotti and Panuozzo. The Panzerotti was salty, hot, and cheesy. With that being said, it was light and airy which made it so delightful to eat. The Panuozzo had a provolone béchamel sauce, Porchetta, and broccoli rabe. It was cheesy, savory, a little bitter, and had plenty of thinly sliced Porchetta. This folded pizza sandwich was the perfect rainy day food. I'd choose Paffuto 10 times out of 10 for some great street style Italian. I can't say enough about how amazing the experience from food, to ambiance, and service was. I think everyone should experience all that Paffuto has to offer.

Paffuto is the Italian breakfast joint serving it up! Located in the Italian Market at S 8th St and Kimball St. Open for breakfast and lunch on Wednesday-Sunday. Friendly service!Paffuto's menu includes a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, crispy potatoes, soups, panzerotti, and some nice pastries.PANZEROTTI was crispy, hot and hittin all the right tastebuds! An order of extra, red marinara was perfect.MUSHROOM PESTO is served on a long seeded semolina topped with pesto, Mozz, oyster mushrooms, & roasted red peppers.

Holy shit. This is the first spot that actually took me back to Italy. That cream in the maritozzi was a dream. The egg and chz panzerotti was soooo crispy...even after it sat in its box until I got home (about 20 minutes). I put it in the oven at 375 for 10 minutes and it was perfect. It came with a house made hot sauce that was fresh af. The strawberry bomboloni was incredible, too. Nothing was soo sickly sweet, flavors were perfection. I had been stalking their instagram for weeks now and finally got to try and now I think it's going to become an unhealthy obsession. Can't wait to try the lunch.

Super cute spot with really talented chefs in the back. Their egg and cheese paffuto is unlike anything iv ever had - in a good way

Had a great stop in at Paffuto. We were too late for any pastries but the sandwiches did not disappoint! We shared a vodka chicken jawn that had some beautiful burrata on top and also tasted their broccoli Caesar - incredible, and crispy potatoes, also incredible. Cute little shop, not a ton of tables but some nice local goods also available! Counter service with a smile.Can't wait to come back and try the beef and cheese and Italian sandos

I've been dying to try this newer spot and it didn't disappoint. I got the egg and cheese with the hot sauce and it was so perfect. I can't wait to come back to try something for lunch and their sweets! Will definitely be back. Cute space to hang and eat as well!

I had been dying to try the panzerotti - tried once and they were sold out and tried another time they were doing a special menu only so make sure to get there early and also check their IG to see if they have any special menus. But today I went at 9 am on a Saturday and finally got the egg and cheese panzerotti and it was So worth it! It was hot, delicious and cheesy. And with hot sauce, it was actual perfection! There were a few tables inside and seats by the window, but it was filling up fast by the time we left around 9:30 am. Very cute. And the employees were also really kind and helpful. I got a maritozzi pastry to go and it was also delicious.

What a cute little spot! I wanted to try everything on the menu but we had the little porky sandwich and the panzerotti. Both were delicious. Staff were super friendly and helpful with explaining their menu! I can't wait to try more items!

I have been super intrigued to try this place since it opened and it did not quite meet expectations. It's a cute place with a small exterior and probably about 15-20 seats and a few seats in the window. Service was efficient, but menu was very limited. We tried one of the egg and cheese panzerottis. It was good, but I don't think I'd come back here unless I was in the neighborhood.

This is the best meal I've had in a long time. In a group of four, we split the fritto, broccoli rabe, burst tomatoes, and summer squash and each got an entree and it was the perfect amount of food, coming out to $40 a person. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, and the chefs come out with the food in addition to the server. I was surprised the place wasn't packed with a line out the door, but I'm sure it will be soon given how good everything was. My favorites were the fried capers and the fresh house-made chittara with mussels.
