Il Panificio at 1055 U.S. 41 Bypass South in Venice Isles Plaza in the former Fratelli Pizza & Brew location will be the latest expansion for the company, said manager Matt Ambrose. Opened 20 years ago in downtown Sarasota, Il Panificio then added Gulf Gate and six months ago opened in South Venice.

Currently in the buildout stage, the new pizzeria restaurant should be opened in July, providing dine-in and take-out with delivery at a later stage, Ambrose said. The menu features 20-inch specialty and regular pizza pies, gluten-free pizza, pizza by the slice, calzones, deli and hot subs, sandwiches, salads and desserts.
