West Palm Beach is about to get its very own focacceria when The Daily Foccacia opens its doors at 410 Evernia Street in a few months.
Most of us have had a sandwich made on focaccia, but according to the husband and wife team of Fernanda Bruna and chef Erjon Musaj — there’s a world of quality focaccia and Italian sandwiches to be explored and they’re ready to introduce South Florida to the possibilities. Musaj, whose experience includes serving as executive chef at Bice Italian Restaurant, grew up eating focaccia, and wants to share the taste and texture of well-made, fresh focaccia with West Palm Beach. This Italian flatbread should be light and airy on the inside with a golden, crispy exterior — perfect for eating alone in as the base of a memorable sandwich.
At The Daily Focaccia, customers will be able to buy fresh focaccia on its own or as a sandwich using high-end ingredients like burrata, mortadella, or prosciutto. “We want to keep the sandwiches authentic, but elevate them for West Palm Beach,” says Bruna who adds that upscale additions will include shaved truffles. In addition to focaccia, The Daily Focaccia will offer organic wines and craft beers for pairing, although a full menu is not yet available.
Bruna said that she and Musaj have already hosted pop-ups at 123 Datura Bar & Kitchen to rave reviews, so she’s hoping West Palm Beach will fall in love with their focaccia. “We want to offer something that people will remember.”
