After a full two years of pop-up appearances in the region, the chef-friends behind the casual Italian concept Paffuto are ready to settle down. Dec. 6 is the planned debut of their all-day cafe at 1009 S. Eighth St. in South Philadelphia. It’s a 22-seater in the former Bibou and Pif.
Jake Loeffler, Daniel Griffiths, and Sam Kalkut will offer breakfast and lunch from Wednesday to Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. To start, ordering will be available only by phone or in person. Dinner service will follow, with nighttime hours Thursday and Friday.
