Italian Restaurant Coming To Smith St.

COBBLE HILL, BROOKLYN — A new Italian restaurant is coming soon to Cobble Hill.

Signage has appeared for "Panzerotti Bites," which will apparently serve the calzone-like treats out of its storefront on Smith, between Butler and Douglass streets.

A placeholder website has been set up for the new food spot, describing its namesake food:

The panzerotto was born in Puglia, a region of southern Italy, famous for its traditions and delicious food. A panzerotto is a half-moon-shaped pocket of dough filled with any number of sweet and savory ingredients. It is then wrapped and delicately fried until golden.

Indeed, a panzerotto (or panzerotti) is like a hot pocket or pizza roll of sorts. They can be filled with anything from cheese to vegetables to meat.

Here's a food.com recipe if you want to try to make one yourself.

Panzerotti Bites' website also says to "stay tuned for opening date."

We've reached out to Panzerotti Bites for more information, and we'll let you know if we hear back.
