Sometimes we all just crave a little comfort food. A simple meal enjoyed in a relaxed, convivial environment, where conversation is flowing and plates are big enough to share with loved ones. When JewBoy Burgers owner Mo Pittle envisioned his latest project, @panciuto.atx, he wanted to serve the residents of his beloved neighborhood, Hyde Park, with some of the most comforting cuisine on the planet: classic Italian American. “Panciuto is about good food and an inclusive vibe—having an easy meal that is going to be satisfying and affordable in a space with a local diner feel,” Pittle says. Debuting Sept. 15, Panciuto (pronounced ‘’pan-chew-toe’’) offers up all the classic cozy Italian American staples, with generous portions you’d expect from a nonna. Even the antipasti dishes are true sharers: The large bowl of Arugula Caprese boasts chunky fresh meaty mozzarella and an attractive blend of four brightly colored tomatoes and pine nuts with a textured crunch, while the Foccacia Pizza Squares topped with pepperoni or marinara-vodka-pesto remain incredibly light despite their size, the homemade focaccia perfectly aeriated with lovely crisp edges. Don’t miss the exquisite Sausage and Mushroom Cavatelli, its rich umami mushrooms thick-sliced in a light but flavorsome cream sauce with large juicy “crumbs” of herbaceous fennel-forward Italian sausage, or the enormous, indulgent Chicken Parm Alla Vodka. Pittle rightly encourages guests to inhale the tantalizing aroma of the on-point Zucchini Fries before tasting. Other menu essentials include bolognese and vegetarian 14-layer lasagna, and of course, Spaghetti and Meatballs. Panciuto is opening Sept. 15 in the Hyde Park neighborhood at 4413 Guadalupe St. Read our exclusive look at the restaurant at the link in bio! 🍝 📸 : @chadwadsworth_atx

@moneyymunoz Is the pasta going to be just as bad as the burgers?
@jollygoodshowmate Mo is a crook with an adopted nice guy persona who can’t keep anything outside of his mid slider concept open. I give his cheap cheese Italian spot a few months max.
