Paffuto, on South 8^th Street in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia, resembles a shop you’d see on a vibrant, lively little street in Naples or Palermo. It’s the brightly colored spot on the corner with a funky red tomato painted on the street cellar doors.

Dan Griffiths, Sam Kalkut, and Jake Loeffler are the creative trio of chefs and co-owners who took Paffuto from its Philly pop-up days to a brick-and-mortar establishment, now serving coffee and breakfast, lunch, dinner, and both local and imported goods in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
