PANETTERIA (906) 667-0188 202 S. Sophie in downtown Bessemer. (906) 667-0188. From U.S. 2, turn south at the Dairy Queen. Open Mon-Fri 9-5, Sat 9-noon. No alcohol. Wheelchair-accessible. The once-decrepit storefront in downtown Bessemer has been transformed into La Panetteria - "PA-nuh-tuh-REE-uh" - that's "the bakery" in Italian. It's a big, sunny space, rather elegant in a casual Italian way, with many tables in front, so it feels like a restaurant. At lunch from 11 to 2 they offer two soups ($3 a bowl with a hard roll), sandwiches, and a combination special. Saturday from 5 to 9 there's ravioli and pizza. And there's coffee and baked goods any time. |
