On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visited Panozzo's Italian Market, an Italian deli and sandwich counter on South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, where chef John Asbaty served Italian comfort classics including a meatball sandwich and porchetta on fried crescentina bread. The market operated as a neighborhood Italian grocery and sandwich shop. Yelp's listing for the business, updated 2026-04, and a Foursquare listing both mark Panozzo's Italian Market as permanently closed at its 1303 S Michigan Ave address. Groupon's cached deal page for the business is also listed as closed. According to Yelp, a different business, Ameritalia, now operates at the same address. A Google Places record checked for this batch had matched the name to an unrelated funeral home in Chicago Heights, roughly 30 miles away, which was corrected using the market's confirmed street address.
