Indulge In Calzones At Our Italian Restaurant In Bloomington, Indiana
Our Italian restaurant Bloomington Indiana might be famous for the pizza or the pasta, but that’s not all we have on our menu. Our calzones are another menu item we’re really proud of at Bucceto’s, and we want to break down just what makes them so special.
The Story Behind Calzones
If a pizza and a turnover joined forces, what you’d get is a calzone! Created in southern Italy all the way back in the 18th century, the calzone was a popular grub served up by street vendors looking for a way to take a pizza and make it “true” finger food.
The idea was that a calzone took the goodness and ingredients of pizza or sandwich, but re-presented these ingredients in a way that they could be easily bought (and enjoyed) by folks walking the streets and going about their days. Because of this, it became a popular lunch option for working people looking for something filling and delicious.
Calzones, originating in Italy, journeyed with Italian immigrants to the United States, captivating American palates as expected.
