Once we arrived we were told if you make an OpenTable reservation you are seated in the bar area. Was not expecting this nor informed when making reservations- would have called for reservations otherwise. Not sure why the restaurant uses the app if reservations are not treated the same.

We are huge fans of the Panini Grill so we were excited when Tutto opened closer to our home. The menu is much smaller than Panini but selections are just as delicious and appealing. My husband is gluten free because of an allergy and there are more choices at Panini Grill. Hoping they expand the menu for more inclusive foods here as well!!!

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.

Millie's of Staten Island

About the restaurant

The team behind Millie’s is passionate about pizza, both the coal-fired and the Neapolitan styles. Thanks to “dueling ovens”, pies from both varieties are offered. Inspired by childhood visits to Totonno’s, the legendary Coney Island pizzeria, the coal oven burns over 650+ degrees and can produce pies in five minutes. The signature Millie’s pie combines sautéed tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and a sprinkling of parmesan. The Neapolitan wood oven, hand-built by Italy’s celebrated Ferrara family, and imported from Naples, cooks pizzas, such as the Margherita, in just 90 seconds thanks to the intense 800+ degree heat.

Evoking memories of bountiful “Sunday Suppers” where families gathered around the table to share recipes passed down from generation to generation, Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza is bringing that same convivial feeling of a close knit Italian family to everyone.
