A Delicious Italian Pizzeria & Old World Bakery
that has been around for over 23 years
Nick Castronuovo better known as “Pops” is the inspiration behind Il Panificio. Pops started his career baking
breads in New Jersey restaurants during the 1960’s. He finished out his career in the mid 80’s in New York.
After retiring and moving to Florida he was disappointed at the taste and quality of the bread and pizza. He
soon recruited and encouraged his grandson, Nick Melone to open Il Panificio in 1991 in downtown Sarasota
on Main Street and opened the second location in 2010 in Gulf Gate. All pizza starts with the dough and at
Il Panifico we pride ourself that our handmade dough has no sugar, shortening, or preservatives. We use unbleached spring wheat flour, fresh cake yeast and a pinch of sea salt. We make our bread fresh 6 days a week
in our Italian brick oven.
