| About Panciuto |
When Panciuto opened in 2006, it did so with the goal of providing
our customers with simple, creative and memorable meals in a
comfortable dining room with attentive and friendly service.
Always committed to sustainable and local agriculture we have,
since opening, become even more dedicated to using products from
the freshest locally available meats and produce possible. Local
and sustainable are not terms reserved only for special dinner
events at Panciuto, but are the guiding principles used every evening
in every meal. I think you will find the menu at Panciuto is
recognizably Italian with a measure of Southern inflection. The
intimate scale of our restaurant and our relatively small menu
allows us to give each and every dish the proper quality and
attention the food and our guests deserve.

As for where the restaurant name comes from, Panciuto, pronounced
pan-choo-toe, literally translates as "potbellied", but has come to
represent a simple term of endearment. We chose this name to
honor a great friend, Duke Edward, who had an impressively large
spirit and potbelly.
