West Brighton

About the restaurant

Panini Grill was founded by three brothers from Italy, eager to open an Italian family style restaurant in America.

We wanted a traditional family atmosphere, Trattoria or neighborhood place that offers large portions and a variety of homemade, home-style cooking, just like my Mamma used to make. "WERE MORE THAN JUST PANINI'S"

We'd love to welcome your group of 12 or more, please call us for availability.

Come join us at our home! Mangia!!

Dough by Licastri: the best pizza that I know of outside of Napoli. Crisp, thin and airy. I had the pizza bolognese special which held up with the meat, vodka sauce and burrata. No flop! The pear salad was excellent. Story was our server and she is terrific. We ate outside and it was a great relaxing meal. I like my pie with beer, so I had the Peroni. I go a few times a month. It is excellent!

We celebrated my son's birthday at Violette's Cellar last night and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting. We had a toddler and a baby in a high chair with us, and we were made to feel completely comfortable throughout the evening. The waiter and staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating. We ordered a variety of small plates, entrées, and side dishes—everything was excellent. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and arrived at the perfect pace. I would definitely recommend Violette's Cellar for a special occasion or a great night out. We’ll be back!
