    This was our 3rd time here and the experience was just as good as the first 2 times. Service was great. The food (pork chop, cheese ravioli, watermelon salad, and yes, dessert) was so tasty - love that they have specials in addition to the regular menu. Their decaf cappuccino is exactly what you would expect from an Italian restaurant as well.

    Our food and service were excellent, however, we had to wait nearly 45 minutes to be seated past our reservation time. No one apologized or offered an appetizer or dessert on the house. We're fairly regular customers. It was disappointing.

    Enjoyed a truly great dinner tonight at Panico’s Bistro. Everything was wonderful. From the tasty, herb-encrusted bread to the specialty strawberry salad, the three cheese chicken parm, the spicy seafood bowl, the dark side of the moon dessert and the cappucino! Our server Kayia (sp?) was awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

    Another outstanding dining experience. Excellent food and service. Our server Donna was accommodating and did not rush our meal. Our host Max, as usual, was friendly and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Thank you for making our birthdays extra special!

    We waited for 45 minutes to be seated. A reservation held by credit card. This is an ongoing issue for the last few visits. But this was the worst. Then 15 minutes to order. Pizza was as good as always, and the waitress was great, but how can you hold by credit card and then not have it available for 45 minutes!
