From Bari to Manhattan, one panzerotto at a time.
I Love Panzerotti was founded in 2019 with the mission of exporting one of Italy's most beloved foods: the Apulian panzerotto. It was born from a crowdfunding campaign among 150 Italian friends — most of them Apulian and panzerotto lovers — who believed in an idea: to bring true Made in Italy to the world.
In New York, we opened three successful stores between 2019 and 2022 — acclaimed by the New York Times, Eater, and Gambero Rosso — before the pandemic forced us to close them. Today, we continue our journey with Milan, Turin, and Fort Lauderdale, strengthened by everything NYC taught us.
