"If you ever wondered what a hamburger would be like had it been invented in Italy, you’d better visit Cantiere Hambirreria. This Apulian import conceives of giant burgers with Italian toppings — including unwieldy balls of burrata and neat circles of pancetta — which can be consumed in the cavelike interior, or outdoors right on Delancey as trucks rumble by on the way to the Williamsburg Bridge. Dozens of burger choices in several styles available, with an impressive beer list." - Eater Staff
"Where else would an Italian stunt-burger chain open its first location in America (and third in the world) than Nolita? They offer regional Italian-themed burgers, piled skyscraper-high with toppings like smoked burrata and roasted red peppers in an industrial-looking space. In a year of regional takes (see: Australian-style sushi), maybe 2024 will be the year of the Italian-style hamburger." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
"Cantiere Hambirreria is a new restaurant in Nolita, NYC, known for its elaborate Italian-style burgers. Founded by Andrea and Daniele Vetrugno in 2017 in Lecce, Italy, the Nolita branch is a small industrial-themed venue with a bar serving craft beers. The menu features a variety of burgers named after Italian regions, including the Tirolese and the Pugliese, which are complex and tall, requiring a steak knife to eat. The restaurant also offers American-style burgers, focaccia sandwiches, and unique desserts like Mocona pasticciotto Lecchese." - Robert Sietsema
"A restaurant serving stunt burgers with peanut butter and a $100 price tag." - Emma Orlow
