Panzerotti Bites 235 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

"Delicious! We had the classic and the porcini panzerottis, they were both incredible. I really recommend it. Super authentic italian."

"A hidden gem in Downtown Brooklyn specializing in panzerotti, a unique Italian pocket of flavor. It’s not a calzone which can often be too heavy. Instead, you get a light thin crispy dough on the outside filled with a thin appropriate amount of filling, my favorite of which is the spicy salami, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. They have a variety of flavors, whether savory and sweet. One is good enough for a snack, 2 for a meal. The owners are always there and super nice at every visit."

"FOOD This place is absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying a panzerotto in New York and I could immediately taste the authentic ingredients, fresh from Italy. Some people might think or comment they're empty a bit empty but I thought the dough to filling ratio was just right, especially since they're meant to be eaten horizontally (keep in mind if you eat it vertically you will have a few very empty bites and then too much filling). 10/10, and from the ones I tried, the classic was just unbeatable. SERVICE Great service all around, you can tell all the staff is Italian, and proud to share their culture. The lady who helped me was incredibly nice and took her time answering all my questions about the food and how it was made, I fekt very welcomed! ATMOSPHERE The place is very small, but that only makes it feel cozy, they have a nice outdoor area too which must be perfect for summer time. Lots of decorations straight from Italy, you can tell the owners don't want to impress you with a stylish deco, they just want to be authentic and show you a classic Italian restaurant experience."

"This place is INCREDIBLE. There was no line on a Sunday, where is everyone!! We tried the classic, octopus, & special (pumpkin & sausage & cheese Yum!!). Every one was better than the last. I can’t wait to try them all!"

"I literally cried. This is THE BEST PLACE to enjoy the tastes of the Puglia! Tried the Mortadella and Classic one, I hope to be able and visit again before leaving NYC. The staff are adorable, and the ice cappuccino is wonderful! Worth it!!!"
