Another great experience

Have been here many times… As this is prime vacation time we were a bit weary…. Had a 5:30 reservation.. Seated quickly and waitess came in less than a minute.. Drinks served rapidly and orders taken.. All entrees served quickly and correct. Wife had the salmon special which was very nice. I had “Sunday Dinner”. All very good.. Was a fantastic experience.

Best Spot in Cape May

Don't leave Cape May before trying Panico's!! They are my favor spot by a long shot. Resonable prices for the quality of food.

Summer Night, Sunday Dinner

Excellent service ….our waitress served us quickly and continued to be responsive. Delicious food with large portions….The Sunday Dinner is a must if you enjoy eating a quintessential Italian dinner. Round out the night with their spin on the traditional Tiramisu, added crunch topping was delicious.

Great food experience

Great presentation, pizza was inventive and delicious . Mussels were served like oysters on the half shell, quite spicy. Only there for pizza but would like to go back for a dinner entree seeing what was being served at the other tables.

Traditional Italian with nice vibe!

Panicos is a good bet for a hearty delicious meal with friendly service in a cozy neighborhood environment. Generous portions of traditionally cooked fish and meat are bound to please. A nice change of pace from the self consciously trendy Italian eateries springing up these days! Highly recommended.
