Neighborhood gem
Charming

Trattoria Il Panino is the kind of place that one would expect to find along the Amalfi Coast. It is a warm, friendly, unpretentious and a food-focused environment. From the casual and positive energy of the atmosphere and waitstaff, to the serious and professional energy of the kitchen, the front
and back of the house form a desirable marriage. The entrance on 260 Hanover street has a full liquor license.

Amazing food, quick service, everyone was really nice and accommodating! The only thing that I didn’t like that much was that it was kinda loud. They had a baseball game and music playing over it so it was hard to have a good conversation. Over all tho, it was a rlly nice experience and the food was delicious.

The staff was welcoming and friendly. My ravioli was absolutely delicious and my teenage daughter said her truffle mushroom ravioli was absolutely the best on the planet. We will definitely return.

Very LOUD. And our waitress wasn’t even talking loud enough for us to hear her. Slow service. We had a reservation and sat for ten minutes before we ever got water. Bread basket was meh. Dry, flavorless bread. Hubby’s lasagna was good, but my ravioli was just okay.

What a disappointment! Celebrating our anniversary at Trattoria II Panino was such a mistake. We arrived at 6:00 and the noise level was so high we couldn't even hear each other speak. We shared the Bibb Salad which had absolutely no taste at all. The dressing tasted like light olive oil and nothing else! I ordered the Mezzi Paccheri Ai Frutti Di Mare. The seafood was steamed with, what I assumed was, water only. NO FLAVOR. The sauce was so bland that I dumped salt and pepper and asked for extra grated cheese to try and add some flavor. I ate the seafood, but the "sauce" on the pasta was so bad it wasn't worth eating. On the other hand, my husband had the crab ravioli and it was delicious. Add an $80 bottle of wine and this dinner was a real "miss".
