You may not know what a puccia is, but think pannino but being able to stuff it with random ingredients you might not normally use. When you think of pannini, you think of an Italian sandwich filled with maybe salami, proscuitto, perhaps some arugula and a little fresh mozzarella.  But a puccia is slightly different, not only in terms of ingredients you can fill it with, but also the style of bread. Originating in the 1970s from the Puglia region, puccia is baked quickly in a very hot oven, and leaving a soft hollow interior to allow for maximum filling.

Enter PucciAre. The artful and Italian “fast food style” of dining establishment, with only a few seats inside – ideal for people who want to grab and go their food – it is the quintessential street food of Italy. The owner, who also operates his sit-down, more fine-dining restaurant a few blocks away, Al Tettucio, has adopted a flavorfully spunky approach to not only  his décor in both restaurants, but also the food.

Here at PucciAre, you can pick and choose your sandwich concoction be it boiled octopus and fresh mozzarella – or perhaps you want to go with marinated olives and prosciutto. Whatever you heart desires, it can be yours. And with prices super affordable, there’s no reason not to pop in here.

Just make sure that when you do, you let them know that Lisa sent you!
