Settepani Restaurant

10 Places to Find Good Panettone in NYC

"Nino Settepani of the eponymous Williamsburg-based restaurant and bakery with a location in Harlem has been making panettone for over 30 years and eating them for longer. “My earliest memories of panettone are my father carrying a box home for Christmas, and having it as our dessert centerpiece after dinner, next to the dessert wines and homemade liqueurs,” says the Palermo native. Now daughter Bilena builds on the tradition, bringing new ideas like a chocolate and pomegranate flavor, collaborations with partners like Bottega Veneta, and, a panettone advent calendar.  Settepani’s chocolate panettone has a silky tear-apart texture and a sourdough-forward note. For those in Harlem, the panettone french toast at Settepani’s Lenox Avenue restaurant is worth seeking out." - John Tsung
