Fried dough is a favorite of many cultures, from America’s sweet donut to the versatile churro that dominates simple fast food options from Spain and Portugal to the South of France. The Italian version is a panzerotto.
The fried dough specialty has a new haven at 124 McDougal St., with the opening of Mr. Panzerotto.
The half-moon shaped dough comes from the South of Italy’s Apulian region, and was originally made with tomato and mozzarella.
The menu will include sweet sausage with broccoli rabe, salmon with avocado and honey with granola — with vegetarian and vegan options.
It will be open daily — and up to 3 a.m. on weekends. Francesco Bardazzi of PD Properties represented the tenant, Christian Francone, while Josh Siegelman, of Winick Realty Group, represented the landlord.
