Mozzarella Mike Converting Little Llamas Space Into New St. Pete Paninoteca

Mozzarella Mike, a local entrepreneur known for fresh pulled mozzarella pop-ups, is establishing a permanent brick-and-mortar home at 2319 Dr M.L.K. Jr St N in St. Petersburg. The new venue, dubbed Mozza Paninoteca, will occupy the former Little Llamas space and feature a menu of Italian sandwiches, house-made mozzarella, wine, and imported goods.

The project joins a rapidly growing corridor on Dr M.L.K. Jr St N, which has recently seen an influx of new food and beverage establishments including Golden Isles Brewing and 86 Wine Bar.
