After the success of the first opening con Sorrento, the new gastronomic format consecrated to the Cilento tradition lands con Milan. Located con Lungolago Piave 40 B, con the Bussare a tutte le porte Venezia complesso, the restaurant celebrates the authenticity of the Cilento cuisine with a strong commitment to sustainability and the short chain.
When taste meets tradition and reinventing it with a contemporary touch, unique gastronomic experiences are born, capable of telling a territory with every bite. This is the case of That’s Panaro, who between Appetizer, Panini and Focacce celebrates the excellence of Southern Italy, between Presìdi Slow Food, DOP products and surprising combinations.
A name that tells a story
The name That’s Panaro draws inspiration from the traditional “Se no ‘Panaro”, the wicker basket-ball dropped by the balconies con the alleys of Naples for the exchange of goods. This symbol of conviviality and authenticity becomes the distinctive element of the room, which offers its dishes within baskets con homage to the Neapolitan tradition.
A between tradition and modernity
The space, designed by the architect Libia Cuomo, blends traditional materials and contemporary . Wood, straw and metal evoke the rusticity of the bell kitchens, while the color palette is inspired by the Mediterranean landscapes. Pop elements and dialectal writings, such as “Magnatill”, add character and irony to the restaurant. The environment is deliberately informal, familiar and very welcoming.
A quality gastronomic offer
That’s Panaro offers an informal and fast experience, with about twenty internal and external covers, as well as a Sustainable Take-Away Take-Away and Delivery service, thanks to an entirely biodegradable packaging. The gastronomic offer includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free variants, to satisfy every food need.
Among the iconic dishes of the Campania tradition revisited with creativity we find:
Mozzarella con the carriage (Slow Food garrison) tartina with suppressed by Gioi (Slow Food garrison) Cacioricotta nato da Cilento Cacioricotta (Slow Food garrison) with low temperature octopus, sweet garlic mayonnaise, semi-hard tomatoes, basil sauce, provola and Songino gnocchi with the Sorrento reinterpreted with fondue of fiordilatte and sauce Basil Focaccia with rolled bacon, white fig jam of Cilento, buffalo blue and sorrento hummus walnuts of cuci nato da cicerale (slow food garrison) with Mediterranean herbs croutons, marinated red onion and extra virgin olive oil
The meaning of the panaro con Neapolitan culture
Panaro represents one of the most iconic images con Naples: a simple but ingenious vehicle, which has anticipated by centuries the modern concept of delivery. Thanks to a rope tied to the handle, it was dropped from the balconies to receive food and essential goods, transforming a daily act into a small city ritual.
