07/08/2026: The best panzerotti in Bernalda (and beyond!)
If you're in Basilicata and pass through Bernalda, you absolutely must stop at "Simpatia." They offered us the best panzerotti ever!
They're prepared and fried strictly on the spot, served piping hot, and made to perfection, following true local tradition. You can immediately taste the care and use of top-quality ingredients: they're incredibly crispy on the outside, and the dough is perfect on the inside.
As for flavors, you're spoiled for choice: we tried the one with sausage and gorgonzola, and it was simply amazing, but the spinach and mozzarella combination was also excellent and delicious.
The name of the place isn't a coincidence: the owners are incredibly friendly and approachable, and they make you feel right at home. It's also very convenient that they accept payment by POS without any problem. A fantastic experience, highly recommended for anyone who loves good, authentic food! We'll definitely be back.
12/07/2026: Ever since we discovered Simpatia's panzerotti, this place has become a regular stop, and every time we return, it's a testament to our success.
After trying so many panzerotti in different places, we can say these are truly SPECTACULAR... the best we've ever had! From the classic to the stuffed variations, the dough is incredibly tasty and incredibly light.
If you're looking for a place to eat in Bernalda, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GO HERE AND TRY THEM!
Kudos also to the always friendly and helpful staff.
