    We were going to a show at the State Theater and we wanted some place that was not too expensive, the food good, not too noisy, and could accommodate our different diets. Panico's hit the mark on all of them. We'd go back there.

    Very disappointed. My veal was very tough, hard to chew. My appetizer- clams casino - was no better then frozen apps heated up from the grocery store. Big drop in quality of food from my last visit.

    Panico's used to be our "go-to" special occasion restaurant. It was old school Jersey Italian. Now the service is confusing, the menu lacks a POV and the food is nothing special. We were disappointed. Competition should make you improve but it seems to have had the opposite effect.

    We have lived in the New Brunswick area for years but have never been tempted to visit Panico's. We went there on Fridat night and were pleasantly surprised. We were given a very nice window seat and served with excellent bread and oil. The beet salad--which we shared--was tasty. Our entrees were very nice as well. I had an excellent pork chop and my wife--who is very fastidious about fish dishes--thought he tuna was delicious. I think it is a solid 4-star establishment. The cappuccinos at the end of the meal were also quite good.

    We asked for their special veal chop, waited some time approximately ten minutes or more before being told they were out of veal. Ordered from regular menu my date had rib eye the meat was fairly good size but not to her liking and I ordered veal piccata, the veal was a little tough which does happen with veal but just did not taste the way I like. Overall we both decided we would prefer not to dine there again.

    Food was great but we felt rushed. Slow night and staff seemed eager to get home. Lights are too bright they should be dimmed.

    Went for V-Day, didn't know and wasn't informed there was only a pre-fixed menu that evening, food was good, not great and service was fair. We've been there many times before and had much better food, service and experience, certainly wasn't the norm/standard for Panico's.
