"There’s no scarcity of top-notch Italian eats on the island, but cuisine from the country’s Apulian region is hardly well-represented. Not so at La Panzeria, a daytime spot in a basement locale on St-Denis. Here, diners will find regional specialties like orecchiette (the signature ear-shaped pasta of Apulia), focaccia Barese (dimpled bread with cherry tomatoes), panzerotti (glorious pockets of melted cheese and tomato), and the panino Polignano (a sandwich filled with fried octopus and burrata)." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff
